Vancouver, BC, October 4, 2018--(T-Net)--MediaValet Inc. (TSX-V:MVP), a leading provider of cloud-based enterprise digital asset management (DAM) software, announced this week that it has completed migrating 100% of existing customers to its upgraded platform, MediaValet V4, announced in May 2018.
All MediaValet customers now benefit from V4's benchmark application speed and platform scalability, along with powerful new innovative features, including Advanced Search, Multi-Libraries, and in-app Interactive User Guides, said the company in a press release.
"V4 is the single largest R&D project we've completed in the history in MediaValet," commented David MacLaren, Founder and CEO of MediaValet. "Today, we offer the fastest, 100% cloud-based, enterprise-class, DAM system - on the planet! We're available in-country, on more data centres, than any other DAM; And, we're the only DAM that offers unlimited users, support and training, triple redundancy and geo-replication. We do all of this and still adhere to the highest security standards in North America and Europe. As our competitors are realizing, it's simply hard to ignore us today. Thanks to V4 and the hard work of our R&D team, our sales funnel and conversion rates are the highest they've ever been."
Migrating from V3 to V4 was a significant milestone for MediaValet as it represents a complete backend rewrite using Microsoft's next generation cloud application platform, Azure Service Fabric. This is the same foundational platform at the heart of various core Microsoft Azure products, including SQL and Cosmos DB databases, and Event and IoT Hubs.
In addition to providing a longer planning horizon for architectural and infrastructure product updates, some of the other benefits to MediaValet and its customers include:
"V4's speed boggles the mind! Sometimes I forget MediaValet's a cloud-based application as it feels more like an on-prem solution; and in many cases, it even beats those," commented James Word, Business Analyst at IO Integration.
"What previously took us months of coding can now be done in a matter of days, enabling us to innovate and address customer requests at lightening speeds and at less cost," commented Jean Lozano, CTO of MediaValet.
Continued Mr. MacLaren, "We set out to make the next evolution of MediaValet truly ground-breaking. With the overwhelmingly positive feedback we've received from customers managing from as little as a few 100 GBs to well over 50 TBs, across teams of dozens to tens of thousands, believe we've not only achieved this goal, but have gone well beyond. In addition to the positive feedback, we're also seeing customer adoption and usage numbers steadily increasing. We believe this is the ultimate measure of a system's success."
Mr. MacLaren added, "From a cost perspective, we're now able to reduce our operating costs, while still continuing to provide the industry leading levels of support and innovation for which we are known. With V3 being fully retired, we expect to see an annualized reduction in cost-of-sales of $150,000, bringing gross margin back to a healthy 80% range. In addition, we are now able to lock in an annualized reduction of $400,000 in R&D costs compared to fiscal 2017 levels. With all legacy platform code now retired, we're able to achieve this cost savings without sacrificing our innovation roadmap which includes a multitude of exciting new features in the months to come. We expect that these innovations will further increase growth rate, our market share, and our customer adoption."
