Although there are many tools that offer help in a specific situation, the key is to understand the actual problem in the first place. Are scattered and messy files throughout your organization the problem? Or is having to spend valuable time searching, finding and sharing files the real problem?

Defining the solution to any one of these symptoms is the easy part. But to find the long-term remedy, you need to take a deeper look into your company and see where the main frustrations lie.
Together with Survata, we interviewed over 500 CEOs from small and medium-sized organizations. We discovered that approximately 75% of marketers struggle to manage assets effectively, but only 10% have adopted a DAM. The main reason? Limited budget.
So, if you’re aware of the challenges that your organization faces, understand how it negatively impacts your work efficiency, but can’t afford the solution, what do you do?
After building our main Bynder solution, we also learned that, in general, everyone wants to be more effective and efficient at work. That's why we reinvented digital file storage and made it accessible for everyone.
