Our CompanyClearStory digital asset management software suite manages the enterprise digital media supply chain — from creation and collaboration, to lifecycle management and delivery — to give companies reduced operational costs, improved productivity, and increased revenues. Backed by premier customer support and service, ClearStory’s award-winning products are easy to use and readily align with our customers’ business objectives for both a rapid return-on-investment and low total cost of ownership.

Our HistoryClearStory Systems was founded in 1989 as INSCI Corporation on a revolutionary idea. We pioneered the notion that the vast storehouses of digital content contained in most modern corporations could be actively managed and transformed—not only into profitable assets, but also into a sustainable competitive advantage. The company became a premier provider of content management solutions for the enterprise. Recognizing a growing opportunity in the digital asset management (DAM) market, INSCI acquired WebWare in 2002. In 2004, the combined entity became ClearStory Systems.

The Growing Digital Media MarketAccording to IDC, one of the fastest growing sub-segments of the enterprise content management market is digital asset management (DAM), with a projected CAGR of 26% by 2009, outperforming the overall software industry. Market demand for managing digital media content is driven by: a) the rapid proliferation of devices and applications for creating and distributing digital media; b) operational pressures to decrease costs; and c) need for decreased time-to-market and increased revenues. Managing rich media, including video, audio, marketing collateral, graphics, and compound documents has become a critical business requirement.

These applications are not well addressed by most content management companies. ClearStory, having invested significantly in product development over the past several years, is positioned to capitalize on these market opportunities with its recent releases of new, next-generation versions of its software.

The Story of Our Unique NameIn architecture, a “clerestory” (pronounced “clear story”) is supporting structure that lets in light through a gallery of windows. Clerestories can be found in cathedrals, Tudor mansions, train stations, even modern skyscrapers. They are designed to admit natural light into large interior spaces. Our name – ClearStory Systems – continues this tradition by helping clients shed new light on their digital assets.
