DAM News contributing editor, Ralph Windsor, has written another special feature exclusively for us.  This piece is called: DAM Vital Signs – Performance Review Techniques To Enhance ROI.  The article examines several different methods for auditing DAM systems and combining that data with user feedback to meet the wider objective of improving ROI.  Points covered include:
