SAN MATEO, Calif., July 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- WebDAM, a
Shutterstock company and a leader in digital asset management,
today announced that its products will be available in 11
languages, and it has expanded its global support locations,
ensuring its customers have the tools they need to manage their
creative operations globally.
In addition to US English, WebDAM is now available in German,
Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, UK English and Dutch. WebDAM
will further expand its available languages to include Chinese,
Japanese and Korean next month. WebDAM offers more language options
than any other cloud-based digital asset management system to its
international customer base.
In addition to broader language support, WebDAM has also
expanded its international customer service operations to
Berlin and London, complementing existing support centers
located in San Francisco and
New York City. These strategic
locations offer global WebDAM customers access to 24/7 expertise
and customer support.
"Global brands need to operate without any barriers or
boundaries," said WebDAM CEO, Jody
Vandergriff. "These enhancements to our platform ensure that
WebDAM is available in the native language of almost all of our
customers and support is available around the clock and around the
globe."
By expanding local language capabilities to reach large market
opportunities in Europe and
Asia, WebDAM is positioned to take
advantage of the global reach of its parent company, Shutterstock,
which generates approximately 70% of its revenue from customers
outside of the US.
WebDAM recently made major infrastructure updates to support its
global expansion by adding data centers in Europe and Asia, enhancing its products' performance in
these regions.
