Session 3: DAM Data Integrations

Typically, DAMs need to connect with systems such as Product Information Management, Collections Management, Rights Management, and Marketing Resource Management in order to fully facilitate marketing and production workflows. This session explores the nature of those integrations, as well as best practices for both human and AI-assisted metadata tagging.

 

Session 4: DAM and Marketing Automation
