Adobe SwitchBoard

Although I was excited each time a new version of Flex and AIR were available on the Adobe Labs site, I am really excited about Adobe's new AIR/Create Suite project, SwitchBoard.

At work, I'm involved a lot with our Digital Asset Management projects.  Our company deals a lot with high-volume photo shoots.  In almost every aspect of the creative workflow in regards to digital photography, our employees use Adobe products to manage, manipulate and edit our assets.

While we do have a large and expensive Digital Asset Management system in place, we constantly find ourselves writing custom applications to better facilitate the workflow amongst our photographers, image techs, photo editors and our legal staff. 

I think there is a lot of great potential with the announcement of SwitchBoard to really take our DAM applications to the next level!  I'm hoping to do some testing with it in the next couple of weeks to see how we can leverage SwitchBoard's features in our workflows.
