Jason Wehling, President of DAM vendor NetXposure has posted an article in the wake of the recent devastating fire that ravaged Notre-Dame in Paris.

7 Digital Asset Management Market Trends 2020
Eunbyeol Koh, Marketing Coordinator at DAM solutions provider FotoWare, has posted an article presenting 7 DAM market trends for 2020. To be honest, I’m struggling to see anything new in this list, with many of her vague statistical observations having very little to do with Digital Asset Management.

IPTC 2019 Spring Meeting: Day 1
Members of IPTC, the global standards body of the new media, recently gathered for their bi-annual meeting to discuss a range of topics affecting the industry.

Other topics included a review of updating the IPTC’s vision and mission statement, and recent updates to the body’s Sports Content Working Group specification.
