Susie, Please take a look at our open source software, OpenEdit Digital Asset Management. Because it is open source, it is free to download, install and use. OpenEdit is used by small and enterprise organizations, so it can scale to handle the most complex needs. When I mention it can be scaled, I certainly don't mean that we charge for additional modules, they are all included in the software, you only need to turn on the modules you need.
Our user base includes single users with small collections to enterprise users with millions of assets. We have online documentation and a free User Forum to post support questions. You can check out a demo here: http://www.openeditdam.com/DAMDemo/archive/search/resultsthumbnails.html And see some videos here: http://www.openeditdam.com/dam/videos/index.html It can be downloaded here: http://www.openeditdam.com/dam/download/index.html By the way, the permissions are pretty locked down on our demo, this helps us to control the demo from hackers and the like! If anyone would like to see a demo of OpenEdit, let me know. I'll arrange a time to do a remote demo and have a Q&A session. Would love to do it!
