What is Digital Asset Management?
Digital Asset Management (DAM) refers to technology which helps us to manage the mass of data which we work with in our personal and professional lives.
Digital assets include documents, emails, pictures, MP3's, online movies, and any other content which we store on a computer.
Digital Asset Management applications try to help with one or more of the typical file management tasks:
- Searching for a digital asset
- Organizing digital assets
- Backing up digital assets
- Securing digital assets
- Verifying the integrity of digital assets
- Discovering duplicate copies of digital assets

 Digital Asset Management |
Content and media asset management systems are core back office applications of the modern day broadcaster, yet there is little information available on the control and management of these systems and how content can be delivered over a variety of different channels: television, iTV, internet, webcasting, mobile phones and wireless PDAs. This book explains the potential for applying asset management systems to content creation models for distribution over a variety of outlets and the benefits gained from increased efficiency and lowering of costs.
Taking an unbiased view and focusing on core principles rather than specific systems, David Austerberry presents the business case for digital asset management systems, demystifies some assumptions regarding the technology and provides a thorough introduction to the system components required, such as indexing, searching, middleware, database and rightsmanagement and web portals.
