13. Why use DAM?
Digital Asset Management (DAM)
13
Before DAM After DAM
Waste too much time searching for the same
digital assets repeatedly
Save time/money finding needed digital assets
Re-create or re-acquire digital assets repeatedly
at huge costs
Reuse and repurpose digital assets
Access free-for-all cause security nightmares Access control to digital assets and role-based
permissions
Increasing exposure to liability as the volume of
digital assets increase
Minimize liability with clarity on usage rights and
permissions
Build silos and fiefdom Consolidate silos of information with access to a
single source of the truth
Communication of the correct version of assets
buried in folder structures and limited by file
naming conventions
Communication scales as needed and
collaboration among team members becomes
easier
Storage increases as volume increases with no
asset lifecycle
Manage assets, not just store them
14. What are the common issues we keep hearing?
Digital Asset Management (DAM)
14
Why are most of
our own digital
assets managed
by an outside
agency?
Where is all this
metadata going
to come from?
Who is going to
manage all of these
digital assets on a
daily basis?
Who owns
this process?
Have a DAM, but
not using it. Why?
Is this the latest
version of this
digital asset or a
past model from a
few years ago?
Only a few people
are using the
DAM
I can’t find the
digital assets
quickly and easily
Where is my
centralized
repository of
digital assets?
What is the
value in doing
all this DAM
stuff?Where is the
digital asset I
need?
15. Common pitfalls
Digital Asset Management (DAM)
15
How do you avoid doing the same mistakes as prior companies have?
“Having good advisers on board and a good network of people you can ask, “How do we manage
this? How do you do that?”
Common Pitfalls
• Assume too much
• Believe DAM only involves technology (forget people, process, and information)
• Inability to filter searches to relevant results
• Lack of realistic budget, buy-in, manpower, scope, timeline, and/or understanding
• Service Level Agreement (SLA) does not cover this or that
• No version control for assets nor metadata
• Keep all silos open and expect user adoption to increase
• Not dealing with stakeholder nor user dissatisfaction in priority order
• Lack of readily available training, ongoing support, and documentation
• Forget this is supposed to make our lives easier.
