Why are you here?
Was “DAM” a typo? Digital Asset Management
What is this not? Not a product demo Chance to learn Ask questions

What is an “asset”
Digital Assets, not Financial Assets
When is a file an asset? Purchased or licensed It’s critical. Re-create or re-purchase, if it cannot
be found. (Lost time, money)
It’s only an asset if you can find it! So, let’s “manage” these. Make sense?

5 Concepts of DAM
(Because I like lists.)

#1 - Search
Don’t be “old fashioned” Isolated searches Folder-based searches Filenames
Centralised search One place to find everything Including archives Metadata

#2 - Metadata
A simple definition: Metadata is data about your data. Keywords or “tags”
Metadata can be specific Author or Photographer Name License Expiration Project ID
DAM systems read/embed metadata

#3 - Preview
Quiz: What must you have, in order to view… 100 photos from a Nikon professional camera? An InDesign document? A Keynote presentation?
DAM can preview anything. No costly applications to install Make (and note) decisions

#4 - Sharing
Sharing is vital Reduce turnaround time (less email, etc.) Let others contribute metadata
The DAM itself is shared: Who needs access? What do they need to access? How do they access?
DAM can provide various ways to share.

#5 - Derivatives
We’re the “experts” The right tools and access to files Bottleneck Time better spent
Interruptions? DAM helps: Single “master” file Avoid duplicates: less storage, less
chaos Self-service, faster turnaround Better communication
