What is an Asset Lifecycle Plan (ALP) and How to Implement One … Key Change Management Tips and Lessons Learned

March 24, 1:40 PM PDT

What happens when we have the conversation around ‘Don’t Delete My Content!’ and why does it matter? Why is it so important to make sure a DAM Manager has a clear understanding of:

  • How an asset travels from inception to historical archive
  • The purposes the asset serves when it’s active
  • How the asset survives when it has become inactive

Rus Martin, Digital Asset Specialist, Marketing Technology at Esri, the makers of geographic information systems and location intelligence and geospatial mapping, will take a deep look at how to quell the unknown for stakeholders with a clear explanation of what happens to the content when it goes offline. Rus will share the pitfalls of implementing an ALP to stakeholders and how to develop a customized archiving workflow for the DAM.

Rus is a marketing specialist in the video and marketing asset department and has first-hand experience of improving workflows through custom APIs, scripts, and expiration date metadata that serves as a search filter for locating inactive content. We’ll learn:

  • How to use a metrics-based dashboard to ensure that each asset has met the ALP timeline
  • How to inspect each asset’s digital performance
  • The importance of correct ALP and the communication it takes to understand what it means for stakeholders, including the minutiae of how to craft, develop, test, and implement, one

What others say

Before attending a HS DAM event, I never knew the true impact or importance of DAM. For the first time it felt like I wasn't alone, but part of something so much greater. I left inspired and motivated to take what I had learned and apply it our DAM system. I look forward to the event every year!

I have over 10 years of experiences as a DAM, and  I am always looking forward to the Festival of DAM or any other event organized by Henry Stewart. The conferences are always presented by experts of the matter. Anyone interested in DAM should attend.
