European Football - Our Digital Asset Management Journey 

In 2013 UEFA decided to do something about its sprawling landfill of digital assets. 

• Platforms were many 
• Duplicates ran wild 
• Metadata had no rules

Now - still images have been centralised. A DAM solution has become an essential part of the digital ecosystem. 

Ingestions workflows, data models, and evolutions in line with technology, have made the DAM system a worthy servant of European football, delivering images of UEFA Champions League quality. 

During UEFA EURO 2016 our photography and DAM workflows enabled us to use still images to bring the action from photographer to fan in just 29 seconds. The fastest timeline achieved at any major sporting event.

Join Paul, at this very exciting time in his DAM journey in European football, as he shares with you: an integration-first approach, increased automation, smart utilisation of data and AI. All primed for UEFA EURO 2020 in summer 2021.

Panel: Connecting DAM with the Enterprise

Today, enterprises of all sizes struggle to connect their digital assets with both upstream and downstream applications. We all need a guide: to know the best practices, successes, and failures of DAM integration, in order to achieve our desired futures. Most enterprises are at least at a roadmap stage, while others are further along, having already connected their DAM to many other applications.

In this session, join Theresa Regli as she discusses with the panel the challenges of connecting DAM with the Enterprise. We'll look at best practices for connecting DAM with your enterprise, as well as pitfalls to avoid. You'll be equipped with ideas to plan your own DAM integrations, or enhance the ones you already have.
