The company boasts of more than 380 clients in 28 countries including Goodyear, L’Oreal, Volkswagen, Sanofi-Pasteur, P&G, Toshiba and the US Army. While many vendors were hurting because of the economy, celum reported a very impressive 30 percent growth in 2009 revenues over 2008. The company added around 60 new clients in 2009 including DAIICHI SANKYO, Helvetia Insurance, Lanvin, Max Planck Institutes, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, Praktiker, SCA Group, Sport Eybl, STO AG, Styria Multi Media, Toyota Motor Europe, Tretyakov State Gallery, Cologne University of Applied Sciences, University of Greifswald, US Department of Energy and Victorinox.

The company has been building a strong presence in Europe and now increasingly in the Americas. With the market for hosted DAM solutions growing rapidly, the company has capitalized on the opportunity and also provides a cloud based DAM which accounts for a quarter of its business. The company focuses on the enterprise market and brand owners as well as the government market.

The solution has very strong multilingual support. The company's enterprise digital asset
management solution, celum IMAGINE, has connectivity to Microsoft SharePoint and SAP and strong integration with a host of other third party applications such as Adobe InDesign – making it an easily integrable solution within an enterprise’s IT infrastructure. The company focuses on brand management, enterprise video management, presentation management, marketing and sales processes, creative workflows and web based interactive content to target emerging business practices among its customer base.

celum has been identified through this analysis as having tremendous potential for growth over the next 12 months due to its current initiatives. Companies are put on the Hot Company Watchlist by virtue of strategies initiated by them over the past 12 months which have put these companies in a good position to strengthen their market position significantly over the next 12 months. Though currently these vendors do not necessarily have a leadership position in any one criteria, proper execution of initiated strategies are expected to have the potential to propel these companies into a leadership position in the near future.
