DAM News Round-Up – 21st October 2024
A selection of DAM-related articles from around the web, sourced by the DAM News editorial team.
In case you missed it, my colleague and seasoned DAM professional Ralph Windsor has recently written an article for French Digital Asset Management vendor Wedia. Ralph presents a detailed look at the emerging trends within DAM, covering AI, large language models (LLM), multilingual metadata, advanced search, provision for 3D assets, and localisation. The article also highlights how DAM’s traditional role as a document and media repository will diminish as it becomes more of a strategic hub, orchestrating content operations and interoperability across the broader digital asset supply chain.
5 Key Trends shaping the future of Digital asset Management
Continuing with the theme of emerging trends in DAM, this blog post from software provider QBank highlights five key trends that they presented at their recent DAM Day conference. Aspects and features covered include DAM’s increasing scope across the whole organisation, AI-assisted metadata management such as autotagging, improved governance, rights and compliance mechanisms, the benefits of an API-first DAM, and how a growing focus on sustainable technology is impacting the way DAM operates by reducing its environmental impact.

DAM veteran and metadata specialist John Horodyski presents a brief history of Digital Asset Management, and looks towards a future where DAM sits at the centre of the martech stack.

Digital Asset Management platform provider and DAM News sponsor Fotoware take a look back at their 30 year history, from a small Norwegian start-up to a global software company operating in over 40 countries.
