Getting Started
Feeling lost about digital asset management? Don’t choose a digital asset management (DAM) system until you have all the answers you need—even if you don’t yet know what to ask. Choosing the best system is the result of a partnership between you and the team of Cumulus professionals that will assist you through the purchase process, and thereafter.
Step 1: Meet your Canto Cumulus Team
It’s never too early to start a conversation the Cumulus experts at Canto or one of Canto’s worldwide partners.

Step 2: Organize your Purchase Team
It’s helpful to identify everyone who will be involved in your DAM system decision. Everyone has different questions, and no one wants to be left out. Users might have questions about usability, while your IT pros want to know about security and integration options. Your Cumulus team can make sure everyone gets the information that’s needed, so everyone is on the same page.
Step 3: Buy Just Enough Now, Grow when the Time is Right
Some customers launch DAM initiatives designed to attack a specific pain point, knowing they can grow their Cumulus systems at any time afterward. There’s no need to overbuy, and your Cumulus team can help ensure that doesn’t happen. Cumulus can be upgraded at any time, ensuring earlier investments are never lost. This makes it easy to get into Cumulus and make sure it’s a good fit for your organization.
And remember: With Cumulus, you’re never trapped a long-term contract or recurring monthly fees that you might regret down the road.
Proven Technology
For nearly 20 years, Canto Cumulus has dominated the industry it helped establish. Today, more than 14,000 Cumulus Servers have been sold, and more than one million user licenses have been distributed.
Our customer list includes giants like Lockheed Martin, Saab, Lufthansa, Apple, the US military, scores of worldwide governments and more. That’s not only proven technology, that’s proven success.
Total cost of ownership is always under control for Canto Cumulus customers, because there are no monthly fees. You pay Canto an affordable one-time license fee, which includes your first year of customer care and support. After that, you pay annual maintenance based on locked-in renewal pricing that offers no surprises down the road. You can cancel maintenance at any time, though the longer you stay with it, the better your ROI.
Cumulus starts at only a few thousand dollars for smaller organizations, while larger enterprises that need more functionality and services typically invest fifty thousand dollars. Services, add-ons, user license additions and more can be added at any time, with minimal or no system downtime.
Easy start up, easy expansion, and no financial commitments.
