http://www-4.ibm.com/software/webservers/commerce/digitalmedia.html

Digital media are some of your company’s most important assets—but you can’t stack them in a warehouse or package and deliver them manually. You need a flexible, portable and easy-to-maintain solution that’s not only a digital asset management system but also a distribution system that can generate new revenue.

Media companies with growing volumes of digital assets—photos, video clips, audio files, illustrations and animated images—face new regulatory requirements and the challenge of making those assets available online. IBM WebSphere® Commerce Suite for Digital Media allows you to store, search, view, manage, collaborate, purchase, sell and download digital assets, reaching customers directly through the Internet.

This new e-commerce service offering combines industry-proven WebSphere® Commerce Suite with the capabilities of IBM Content Manager. Powered by Java™ technology, WebSphere Commerce Suite for Digital Media allows you to enrich the consumer’s experience and B2B buying interface, forging new customer relationships while strengthening existing ones. And helping to generate and increase revenues as well as your profit margins.
