Canto, Partners Break Records in 2011

Canto has announced that last year was one of the biggest sales years ever for them and their partners - 2011 revenue was the highest in the company' s 22-year history - see http://finance.yahoo.com/news/canto-partners-break-records-2011-141100614.html

Part of that success was DataBasics, whose contribution resulted in the promotion of the company to Canto Certified Distributor Platinum, the highest tier in the Canto Partner Program. No other company has ever achieved the rank!

DataBasics, based in Australia, is the Cumulus supporting partner of D.I.Workflow.

Ricky Patten, Director DataBasics says: "There may be a financial crisis for some... but for DataBasics and the Canto Cumulus digital asset management solution, 2011 was a mega year with sales exceeding all expectations. DataBasics generated the largest volume of Cumulus sales for any of Canto's "rest of world" distributors, meaning outside of their native German speaking regions and the USA. For this DataBasics received the highest accolade in being appointed Platinum Distributor status!"

Canto Cumulus DAM system is leading technology used by government, corporate and private companies world wide to manage their valuable digital assets and create image libraries to publish content to the world. DataBasics are Canto's distributor for Australia, New Zealand, SE Asia and Oceania. Based in sunny Queensland DataBasics has been one of Canto's leading partners for more than 15 years.

"I have not enlisted the services of a survey company to work out who is the largest distributor of DAM solutions in our region ... but it would be hard to imagine that anyone else gets even close to the volume of Cumulus business we are supplying," says Patten.

Major new organisations implementing Cumulus in 2011 from Australia included SA Dept of Environment and Natural Resources, Qld University of Technology, Walter & Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Luna Park Sydney... along with Brand Developers from New Zealand and Gitanjali Gems from India. This comprises a very short list of DataBasics customer base.

"What's really great about working with Canto is that they are ahead of the marketplace by as much to two to three years. This allows us to be implementing solutions and opening up new avenues of business on a continual basis." relates Patten. "The mega year for DataBasics is a culmination of building up more and better staff to manage and service the ever increasing needs of our customers, and extending our relationships with resellers and technology partners alike. I think this is only just a beginning - 2012 has already started in a big way for us!"
