Constellation ShortLists™ Highlights Smartsheet on Two Top Lists for 2026

We’re proud to share that Smartsheet has been named to the Constellation ShortList™ Work Coordination Platforms for the 11th consecutive year, while Brandfolder has earned its sixth appearance on the Constellation ShortList™ Digital Asset Management (DAM) for Digital Experiences, underscoring the strength of our vision for the future of intelligent work.

Smartsheet: driving measurable enterprise impact

Constellation projects that the Work Coordination market will reach $46.3 billion by 2031, with 11.4% annual growth, as enterprises manage increasing volumes of work, content, and data across distributed teams. Work coordination platforms are a central hub for enterprise execution, providing the structure and governance required to turn ideas into outcomes. It’s no surprise they’re becoming an increasingly important part of the enterprise tech stack.

Smartsheet was selected for the Work Coordination ShortList for its powerful combination of deep analytics, complex automation, and versatile views such as Kanban and Gantt, built on a foundation of enterprise-grade governance.

Brandfolder: embracing Digital Asset Management’s enterprise evolution

Meanwhile, DAM has expanded from a marketing tool into a full-fledged enterprise-wide content engine that empowers people to personalize assets for their different audiences.

This year’s DAM ShortList highlights Brandfolder’s transition from a creative tool to a dynamic enterprise asset hub. Brandfolder was recognized for its ability to manage emerging 3D asset formats, power AI-driven metadata and natural language search, and accelerate content personalization - all while providing the secure, role-based permissions and compliance guardrails today’s enterprises require.

Pioneering the future of intelligent work

The enduring leadership of Smartsheet in Work Coordination and DAM is rooted in a relentless focus on helping customers solve tough problems and deliver results.

Our technology unites people, data, and content in a secure, intelligent platform designed for massive scale. By integrating Brandfolder into Smartsheet, we bring together marketing, creative, and content workflows that break down execution silos so enterprises can move faster than ever.

As AI reshapes how work gets done, Smartsheet is evolving to guide our customers into this new era of intelligent work. By building AI natively into our platform, we are empowering enterprises to use agentic and conversational approaches to turn vision into measurable outcomes.
