Dean Brown • Aug 25, 2021

Did you know that the Digital Asset Management (DAM) industry is set to grow by nearly 20% in the next few years? You might be wondering what all the fuss is about, but DAM tools like the Aprimo DAM help create an efficient workflow process. 


Many industries such as Finance. Higher Education, Real Estate, Pharma, and Technology use DAM tools to organize their media assets. 

Keep reading to learn more about the Aprimo DAM and how it could benefit your business.

What Is Digital Asset Management?

First off, let's tackle what DAM actually is. A digital asset management (DAM) solution includes many exciting features that can help you and your team succeed. 


These features include:

  • Storage
  • Organization
  • Management
  • Accessibility
  • Distribution


The features of the best DAM tools allow you to manage your digital asset with a clear overview. 


Types of Digital Assets


Digital assets include a plethora of different categories. But, in reality, it comes down to what industry you and your team specialize in. Let's look at a few examples.


An architect agency's digital assets include CAD files that contain blueprints and designs of the buildings of their commissions, while a photographer's assets are their photos and portfolio. Many lawyers prefer paper-free offices now; a law firm may use it to digitalize their case files.


As you can see, there are plenty of ways to utilize DAM tools, and the possibilities are endless.


How Does DAM Work?


There are a few different steps to using DAM systems and some of the examples where the Aprimo DAM can help.


First, you need to create the digital assets you wish to store. You can use create content in digital format, text scanning, or audio recording. Aprimo has plugins that allow you to connect straight to your Adobe Cloud created content.  


Secondly, you will need to implement an indexing system. This is often achieved by tagging different categories, called metadata tags. They summarize the details of an asset for easy location. 


Third, the indexed data becomes accessible and becomes part of the workflow process. This means that it is ready to be used by you and your team. Either by selling the assets, as a photographer or architect would, or edit and access the assets to aid in further use.


When assets are edited, you will need to add version control to your process. This means that when a client likes the product but requires a few customization changes, you will then create and index that file.


However, it is important to note that version control needs to make sense. Categorize each file with its parent file, for example, if you need to return to the original.


You can set permissions as well to protect your assets. Not everyone in your team should have access to the assets that generate the profits of your company.


How Can It Help You?


The digital world is expanding each minute. If you are reading this, you are likely looking for a solution to organize your assets. Many industries can benefit from DAM systems.


Aprimo specializes in, and customizes several management systems for different industries. In all of these industries, productivity, planning, and protection are essential to the business's success. 


Let's take a look at the Finance industry and how it can benefit financial institutions. 


As a financial institution, most of your assets nowadays are online. These include banking, wealth and asset management, and insurance. Therefore, each of your clients needs a profile that includes the information, details, and services they use. 


If you do not have a DAM system in place, you can quickly lose track of the valuable information that should be secure. With a system like the Aprimo DAM, you can access the information fast, set permissions on who can access what, and protect your clients from identity theft. 

This is the same for each industry that owns digital assets. It will lead to productivity, protection, higher morale, and professional services.

IT leaders are in a strong position after digital initiatives saved many businesses. But now, what businesses are asking for is evolving again. Digital Transformation has helped companies become more flexible and resilient in the face of worldwide recession, leaving the more digitally mature among them better placed to prosper in the post-pandemic era . After years of being promoted, piloted and implemented with varying degrees of urgency and success in organizations, digital transformation enabled a rapid pivot to remote working and put the digitization of business processes, including customer and employee experience ( CX and EX ), to a serious stress test. In its IT Spending & Staffing Benchmarks 2021/22 report, market research firm Computer Economics described technology's role in the rapid recovery from the pandemic as "nothing short of a miracle". Digital transformation passed the test, it seems. Going forward, Computer Economics suggested that the "low-hanging fruit" in cloud migration is now picked and that "We are now in the stage of digital transformation where we are not just replacing existing tools -- we are now enhancing them." In this article we'll examine where digital transformation is likely to go next. What the analysts say ... Towards the end of 2020, in the grip of the pandemic and with vaccine deployment still to come, IDC published its predictions for digital transformation (DX) for 2021 and beyond.  The headline prediction was that direct DX investment will total over $6.8 trillion between 2020 and 2023 -- a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.5%. IDC says that that translates into nearly two-thirds (65%) of global GDP being digitalized by 2022. By 'digitalized', the analyst firm means "the inherent value that digital brings to existing products and additional digital services that companies might offer," explained Bob Parker, senior vice president at IDC, in an accompanying webcast . "This is why digital transformation is really a CEO priority -- more so than a CIO priority," Parker added.

In software development , agile (sometimes written Agile) is a set of practices intended to improve the effectiveness of software development professionals, teams, and organizations. It involves discovering requirements and developing solutions through the collaborative effort of self-organizing and cross-functional teams and their customer(s) / end user(s) . It advocates adaptive planning, evolutionary development, early delivery, and continual improvement , and it encourages flexible responses to changes in requirements, resource availability, and understanding of the problems to be solved. It was popularized by the 2001 Manifesto for Agile Software Development . The values and principles exposed in this manifesto were derived from and underpin a broad range of software development frameworks , including Scrum and Kanban . While there is much anecdotal evidence that adopting agile practices and values improves the effectiveness of software professionals, teams and organizations, the empirical evidence is mixed and hard to find.
