Providers
Enterprise-level solutions often involve scalable and configurable products that can handle vast numbers of assets (files) as well as large numbers of simultaneous users, workflows, or use cases (multiple applications simultaneously operating against the system). Enterprise systems may, but do not necessarily, include customized products or features added on to the base system or custom-developed to match an organization's workflow. In many cases these systems enter an organization in one department and eventually expand to others or to the entire enterprise as its utility becomes proven, understood and valued. Enterprise systems are offered as installed software - called on-premise - or as software as a service — hosted, web-based offers managed and maintained externally.
Some image viewers and other media-management applications provide some DAM functionality for individual users, including backing up, organizing, and reading/writing metadata and keywords.

Famous quotes containing the word providers:
“Good guilt is a product of love and responsibility. It is a natural, positive instinct that parents and good child care providers have. If bad guilt is a monster, good guilt is a friendly fairy godmother, yakking away in your head to keep you alert to the needs of your baby.”
—Jean Marzollo (20th century)
