engaging end-user experiences through on-the-fly asset manipulations and
optimization, AI-based search and efficient workflows. The new solution
is powered by the company's award-winning image and video management
platform which offers a unique set of asset manipulation and delivery
capabilities and manages over 20 billion assets, including 25 million
new assets every day, for more than 325,000 users worldwide. Earlier

Digital trends and technologies are influencing and reshaping online and
mobile experiences, and these shifts are creating major challenges for
brand and content managers today: images increase content view rates by
94%, posts with images boost engagement by 180%, and buyers are 85% more
likely to buy a product after watching a video about it. This new world
order puts business-critical media content squarely in the center and
brands that efficiently leverage these assets are at a competitive
advantage.
"As the largest independent bookstore in the world, with nearly 8.5
million assets and 60,000 new titles added each month, our ability to
easily and efficienty manage our media assets while delivering optimal
end-user experiences from browser to device is critically important to
our business's success," said Andrew Lemert, Director of Information
Technology at Powell's Books. "We chose Cloudinary because its core
platform combined with its new digital asset management capabilities
will allow our diverse teams to collaborate and more easily scale the
business as our needs evolve -- and the services team was committed to
going above and beyond. We couldn't be happier."
Optimizing Assets and Workflows via a Robust Cloud Platform
The Cloudinary DAM solution removes functional silos and bridges the gap
between asset management and delivery, enabling creative, marketing and
development teams to maximize the value of assets, streamline asset
workflows and optimize the end-user experiences across all touchpoints
seamlessly. Cloudinary's cloud-scale architecture supports
cross-functional collaboration without any loss in performance, and its
robust APIs make integrations with different applications easy. Users
can integrate with content management systems (CMS), product information
management (PIM) systems and any project management tools, enabling a
connected journey from asset creation and organization to manipulation
and end-user delivery.
"Companies understand the power of visual and interactive experiences
for creating better user engagement, but struggle to deliver them due to
the complexities that exist within today's fragmented digital media
ecosystem," said Itai Lahan, Co-founder and CEO, Cloudinary. "For far
too long brands have been relying on point solutions that address pieces
and parts of the DAM puzzle, and we set out to address those
shortcomings with our latest offering so brands can stay focused on
executing compelling and personalized online and mobile experiences.
We're thrilled with the customer response to date and look forward to
adding new features and integrations over the coming months."
Cloudinary's end-to-end DAM solution offers several features for
