Your platforms
don't talk.
Acorn makes them fluent.

Acorn syncs metadata between your MAMs, DAMs, and PAMs in real time — while quietly building a permanent, immutable record of every change across your entire media stack.

The Platform

Sync. Provenance. Governance. One managed layer.

Acorn drives your next migration, building a broad picture of your content library that can be used for deeper provenance, governance, and visibility across all your platforms moving forward.

ACME

Schema-aware metadata sync

Acorn Common Metadata Exchange (ACME) understands the native data model of every connected platform and synchronizes omnidirectionally across any topology. Add or retire systems without rebuilding integrations.

  • Omnidirectional: 1↔1, 1↔N, N↔N
  • Schema-aware per platform
  • Eliminates manual re-entry
PROVENANCE

Archival-grade audit trail

A continuous, permanent record of every change, event, and access decision across every connected system. The record exists entirely independent of the systems Acorn monitors. When a platform fails, Acorn retains what it held before.

  • Survives platform failures and migrations
  • Millisecond timestamps · user attribution
  • NARA-adjacent · GDPR ready
PULSE

Real-time event visibility

A cross-system event stream with per-event filtering. Specific event types, systems, users, metadata conditions. Reports sync failures and restricted field modifications before anyone has to go looking.

  • Event-level filtering & routing
  • Sync failure detection
  • Live across every connector
GOVERNANCE

Zero-trust at every door

Most environments still ask, "Are you an admin, or not?" Acorn enforces resource-level permissions with immutable policy ceilings. Acorn SSO can be your IdP — or integrate with yours. Compliance controls are structural, not configurable.

  • Full zero-trust IAM
  • Immutable policy ceilings
  • SAML 2.0 / OIDC federation

The Flow

Metadata flows in every direction. Everything stays in sync.

Plugin Ecosystem

Production-ready capabilities. No custom integration.

Transcode, archive, deliver, ingest, manage projects, clean up storage, bridge your PAM. Every plugin snaps into Acorn. No infrastructure to maintain. No middleware to build.

Why not just build integrations?

Connectors break. Acorn adapts.

Custom Integrations

They connect. Then break.

  • Point-to-point. One connection at a time.
  • Break when environments change.
  • No provenance or audit trail.
  • No governance layer.
  • Rebuilt from scratch for every new system.
  • You maintain the middleware.

Acorn Platform

We connect. Then we remember.

  • Omnidirectional. Any topology.
  • Adapts when you add or retire systems.
  • Permanent, immutable audit record.
  • Resource-level governance and security.
  • Schema-aware: understands every platform natively.
  • Fully managed.

Connected Platforms

Your stack. Connected.

Acorn connects to both cloud and on-prem. Any platform with a database and API can be connected.

Why Acorn

Built by the people who understand your stack.

Backed by decades of thought leadership in consulting-led systems integration across broadcast, post-production, enterprise, and federal markets. Our people are former editors, shooters, audio engineers, and producers — the same hands building Acorn today.

01

We Built It

Acorn isn't a third-party product we resell. We designed it, develop it, and manage it. When you have a question, you're talking to the team that wrote the code.

02

Fully Managed

No infrastructure to maintain. No middleware to patch. No upgrades to schedule. Acorn runs in managed cloud infrastructure with everything handled for you.

03

Consulting + Product

Backed by decades of consulting-led systems integration in media. Context is never lost between strategy, build, and operate.

04

Vendor-Neutral

Acorn connects to any platform. We don't care which MAM you use. We care that your metadata is synchronized, governed, and preserved across all of them.

05

Battle-Tested

Deployed at major media organizations managing complex, multi-platform environments. Production infrastructure, not a proof of concept.

06

Grows With You

Add platforms, add plugins, expand governance. Acorn scales with your environment. When your stack changes, the infrastructure adapts without a migration project.
