What We Do
Have you ever wished there were solutions that assist you by truly automating and expediting the often complex processes to publish something? What if you were supported by a system that ensures that the metadata you're looking at is correct, or that the version of the image you're about to use is not out-dated, and that you could be certain that you really had the rights to use it?
Every day people face these challenges, even when many of them already use a Digital Asset Management system. Why? Because it takes more than an asset repository. It takes a coordinated approach that is based on a set of workflows that leverage other vital systems, i.e. DRM or PIM, and lead you all the way to an end product (be it a brochure, catalog or commercial ad).
The Final Candidate provides help for organizations to create such compelling workflow-based Asset Management solutions. We work with Marketing people, Content Editors, Key stakeholders and IT to implement a DAM strategy, and to manage and measure its ongoing success.
We help our customers to choose, implement and maintain the best platform and products for their needs. As a platform however, we specialize on solutions that are built on or integrate with SharePoint 2007.
Our Customers
There is no industry that doesn't require the usage of digital assets. The marketing departments, publishers, educational and government institutions were early adopters of formal DAM solutions.
Our Partners
No single system integrator, large or small, can claim to know all relevant products available on the market, especially when DAM solutions increasingly need to be integrated with several other systems that are in place with a given customer, like WCM or PIM.
As individuals, at The Final Candidate, we benefit from decades of experience with content management solutions. But equally important is that over the years we've come to respect the knowledge of our network of system integration partners that also have built large numbers of DAM solutions. Together, we share our knowledge and support each other with our experience.
Our Investors
The Final Candidate was founded in 2006 by four colleagues and has grown organically ever since. We are self funded, profitable and plow most of our earnings right back into better product development and service. It makes sense to us.
