MyMediabox Cloud Questions Answered

As a provider of hosted licensing solutions it is important to us that our clients and prospective clients know the following about our cloud services:

1. MyMediabox applications do not add internal IT complexity

According to the article, "Cloud Computing Myths Explained, Part 1", companies tend to resist a migration to the cloud, because they believe that it will complicate their IT processes. However, this is not the case. When you adopt MyMediabox applications, your IT department will not have to take on extra responsibilities. MyMediabox applications are hosted and managed 100% on our servers.

2. MyMediabox monthly licensing costs actually SAVE you money

It is easy to hear "monthly subscription" and assume that purchasing an installedapplication would be cheaper, because you think of it as a one time cost. Why is this thought process incorrect?

a. When purchasing installed applications, you are required to host the software on your servers. This means your IT team has to take time away from other projects to manage the new software.

b. Upgrades are not included. You will have to continually purchase upgrades.

MyMediabox applications start at a base price of $500/month* or $25/day (based on 20 working days/month). After personnel time savings (Mediabox-PA moves the entire creative approval process online to one central location), as well as outside savings (Mediabox-DAM allows online delivery of assets-- eliminating courier, packaging, mailing expenses),it is easy to see savings of over $25/day.
