Tackling the Workflow Challenge --McIlroy

That's the strength of Version Cue. Adobe has created a single underlying system for (the basics of) DAM and CMS, and built it into their "Creative Suite" of software.

If you're a "power user" of DAM or CMS then Version Cue will remind you of the early '90s. The functionality is sparse. Any DAM system or CMS today could run rings around Version Cue. But that's not the point. The most important aspect of Version Cue is that Adobe has, overnight, made this a standard, and has instantly changed the landscape for the future of graphic arts workflows.
