DAM solutions can manage almost all digital asset types, including:</p><div class=""><cto-list icon="plus" color="orange"> <cto-list-item><strong>Images and photos</strong> of products, models, locations, and more.</cto-list-item> <cto-list-item><strong>Branded content</strong> like illustrations from creative teams.</cto-list-item> <cto-list-item><strong>Logos, colors, typography, and other brand elements</strong> often stored inside brand guidelines.</cto-list-item> <cto-list-item><strong><a href="/video-asset-management/">Video</a></strong> for product tours, sizzle reels, and webinars.</cto-list-item> <cto-list-item><strong><a href="/blog/audio-file-types/">Audio files</a></strong> for podcasts and customer interviews.</cto-list-item> <cto-list-item><strong>PDFs and text-based documents</strong> such as blogs, eBooks, and sales decks.</cto-list-item> <cto-list-item><strong>Creative files</strong> from Adobe CC apps.</cto-list-item> <cto-list-item><strong>Other digital assets</strong> such as CAD, 3D image files, and even rich media.</cto-list-item></cto-list></div><h2 class="">Why you need a digital asset management platform</h2><p>There are numerous <a href="/blog/10-benefits-of-digital-asset-management/">benefits of digital asset management</a>, including productivity boosts, better collaboration, improved brand consistency, and even greater content ROI.

DAM software simplifies and accelerates <a href="/blog/content-lifecycle-management/">content lifecycle management</a>, maximizing content production and content ROI. Here’s a sneak preview of how digital asset management software works:</p><ol class=""><li><strong>Upload digital assets into a centralized library:</strong> Migrate all your digital assets (and attached metadata and folder structure) into a single DAM library from your <a href="/cloud-file-storage/">cloud storage</a> platforms, on-premises servers, local storage, and other storage platforms.</li><li><strong>Organize content with AI tools and metadata:</strong> Next, use a DAM solution’s auto-tagging and optical character recognition (OCR) tools to generate additional metadata while populating custom metadata that can’t be captured, like campaign names and use case information.</li><li><strong>Search and access digital assets:</strong> To keep content searchable as your library expands, DAM software functionality includes metadata search and facial recognition tools. Some best-in-class DAM solutions also include AI-powered search to scan and retrieve media instantly.</li><li><strong>Collaborate on content projects:</strong> You need to work on content efficiently across time zones, languages, and work environments. DAM solutions streamline collaboration by providing a multi-language, self-service library, <a href="/blog/digital-asset-management-workflow/">digital asset management workflows</a>, private digital workspaces, comments, and annotations.</li><li><strong>Manage and control your brand assets from one place:</strong> Once content is produced, a DAM platform helps with efficiently managing digital assets, with intuitive tools like approval statuses and digital rights management (DRM) for handling licensed and copyrighted content.</li><li><strong>Distribute and analyze content performance:</strong> DAM software functionality also helps organizations speed up content distribution. Automate distribution onto storefronts and platforms with built-in CDN capabilities or create branded content collections via portals. DAM platforms include reporting features to analyze content performance for future content strategy.</li><li><strong>Archive or refresh content:</strong> Don’t let content get stale with DAM software. With a DAM solution, you can set expiration dates on content and guarantee it gets removed from circulation for sales, partners, distributors, and more. Content can also easily be refreshed for new campaigns, channels, and use cases. When content isn’t valuable anymore, you can move it to cold storage.</li></ol><h2 class="">Key features of digital asset management systems</h2><p>Digital assets management systems come fully loaded with the features every team needs to optimize content workflows and meet marketing goals.
