Written for IT professionals who have been tasked with the implementation of a Digital Asset Management system. This report is a comprehensive examination of all the major issues to consider. It is divided into two sections: an overview of the opportunities DAM offers and detailed information about how to manage DAM implementation.
The first part covers practical advice on issues such as proxy generations (previews of assets), workflow, systems integration, copyright compliance and metadata schemas. The second implementation considers how much to in-source as opposed to outsource, including the options available for using open source solutions as well as SaaS/Cloud DAM; the project team you may need to assemble, hosting and support as well as an extensive section on scalability and architecture. The full list of topics covered includes:
