Digital Asset Management System





GENERAL INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONALITY


Digital Asset Management is still a fast-growing market with rapid technical evolution, hence many different types of systems will be labeled as DAM systems although they are designed to address slightly different problems or were created for a specific industry. A variety of commercial systems for DAM are available and numerous groups are trying to establish standards for DAM.

DAM systems generally support functions for ingesting, managing, searching, retrieving and archiving of Asset s. DAM systems may also include Version Control and asset format conversion capabilities (i.e. dynamically down-sizing a large, high-resolution image for display on a website). DAM systems are related to and can be considered a superset of Content Management System s.

DAM is a combination of workflow, software and hardware which organizes and retrieves a company's digital assets.
