The Evolution of Digital Asset Management: Expanding in Scope and Importance
This recent post from DAM provider Wedia maps the evolution of Digital Asset Management, from its lowly beginnings as a standalone media library, through its role as a single source of truth, and on to its current manifestation as the central hub for digital content management and omni-channel marketing technology stacks, also referred to as a Digital Experience Platform (DXP). Moving forward, one notable absence from Wedia’s vision of the future is the ability for DAMs to integrate with content providers such as stock libraries, and via the use of AI, to even generate its own synthetic content on demand.
Recently acquired Digital Asset Management software provider Widen have published a guide to content operations. Information includes a brief description, who needs it, how it’s implemented, and how content operations strategies relate to the digital asset content lifecycle. A worthwhile read for anyone looking for an easy-to-digest overview of this broad, and often vague series of processes, people, and technologies.
