Your DAM Journey: Assessing Where You Are and Where You Should Be Going

Wednesday September 13, 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Enterprises are at different phases in their Digital Asset Management journeys. Some are implementing DAM for the first time, others are working to incorporate DAM into a larger technology ecosystem, and still others are using DAM to power their entire content supply chain.

In this session, we’ll describe the phases in an enterprise’s DAM journey and discuss methodologies for determining where you are and how you stack up versus your industry and cross-industry peers. We’ll discuss ways to put the right foundation in place to give you the best chance for success in the short, medium, and long-term phases of your journey. And we’ll look at how to determine your enterprise’s DAM roadmap and strategize practical ways of getting your enterprise successfully to the next phase.
