Improve Communication Between Stakeholders For More Effective Digital Asset Management

Henrik de Gyor discusses how Digital Asset Management within organisations can often be sub-divided into three (or more) perspectives: Business, Creative and Technical.  He contends that by improving communication between stakeholders in each of these groups, especially in regards to how each group will interact with each other, the effectiveness of a DAM solution can be enhanced considerably:
