Change is happening all around us, fueled by the strong tailwinds that technological advancements are providing people with all across the planet. This has meant that in just under 18 months, the workplace you were accustomed to has evolved into a fully flexible, hybrid and inter-connected network of partners you no longer interact with as you were previously used to.
In this changing landscape, it's of paramount importance for any successful organization to provide its workforce with the most comprehensive, effective and usable tool-set that modern technology can offer. This is why for the last year, the primary focus at Pickit has been to deliver on our commitment to developing solutions that meet the demands of administrators and end-users alike and that deliver unparalleled synergies to our customers.
There are many examples of problematic inefficiencies that companies are having to deal with in recent times that weren't much of an issue no too long ago. We know this because a major part of our development cycle is listening to our partners and learning about their challenges. And as mentioned previously, that is where we step in, providing effective solutions to these problems.
One of the most common comments we've received relates to working with assets that are spread out across an ocean of different systems and providers. For example, did you know that the average knowledge worker spends up to 20 hours a month finding and formatting visuals and templates for presentations alone, not to mention sourcing digital assets for documents and other projects? We also know that unnecessary context-switching greatly reduces productivity by up to 80%.
That’s why we've developed our solution with the firm intention of integrating as many of the world's leading platforms as possible, all under one convenient umbrella. Our aim is to provide marketers across the globe with the most complete, versatile and simplest DAM system available today.
If you read on, you'll be able to get a greater sense of the swift rate of development we've undertaken in order to meet our pledge. In just under 18 months we've evolved from being a stock image provider to a full-scale Enterprise DAM system, fully prepared to meet the requirements of the workplace of tomorrow.
