DIGITAL ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

The evolution of the Web and the shift to digital print production have given rise to a widespread increase in the amount of electronic files that companies need to maintain. With all of the different logos, photos, illustrations, audio clips, video clips, and other media in need of digital asset management, it quickly becomes challenging for companies to keep track of these digital assets for use in publications, product catalogs, marketing collateral, Web sites, broadcasts, or other output.
Content DSI can help your company implement a digital asset management (DAM) system that enables you to organize digital files and support their use in multiple output media. DAM systems from Content DSI can help address critical business needs, such as:
  • Providing a central repository for enterprise-wide digital assets
  • Supporting multiple outputs from a single source using comprehensive digital asset management software
  • Automating conversion to different formats and sizes for multiple applications
  • Reducing time spent looking for existing assets
  • Enforcing rights management for both internal and externally-licensed assets


Content DSI builds DAM systems on a solid Enterprise Content Management (ECM) foundation, spanning the entire process from content creation to management to delivery. This approach ensures that the system will support multi-media management from an individual to global level, allowing for more efficient collaboration among users and reducing costs. The diagram below illustrates a typical digital asset management system, which can be tailored to meet each customer's unique requirements:

Publishing solutions from Content DSI can improve workflow, support cross-media publishing, and manage digital assets throughout your organization.
 
  In addition, Content DSI offers a wide range of capabilities that can assist with the implementation of the system and the various business processes involved, such as:

 
  • Data Analysis - Before data conversion can take place, it must be analyzed to ensure that the content structure will appear in a standardized form during editing and when distributed to various output medias.
  • Data Conversion - Standardization of print and digital content into a platform-neutral, electronic format, such as XML, tailored to function efficiently with your company digital asset management system.
  • Data Repository Design - Working closely with your business, Content DSI will develop a data repository that fits your digital asset management needs.
  • Workflow Automation - Streamline processes by tracking changes, controlling access to documents, and eliminating redundant practices.
  • Systems Integration Services - Our Digital asset management software can allow the multiple software tools your company has supporting the processes involved in content creation, management and delivery to work collaboratively with all your standardized data.
  Content DSI maintains partnerships with leading technology vendors to support the implementation of DAM systems. This alliance with vendors provides your business the opportunity to utilize the latest innovations in digital asset management software, creating an organizational system that's easy to learn and user friendly in operation. Where Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) tools are not available or applicable, we custom develop digital asset management software or use previously developed core technology components to provide the required functionality. These systems all offer robust functionality and clear upgrade paths to support future growth and initiatives.

Content DSI can also help you implement a media asset management system to help manage your digital and electronic files.
