How Hosted Digital Asset Management Affects your Business

Over the past few years, DAM or Digital Asset Management systems have evolved and emerged as a widely accepted technology. Digital Asset Management is an efficient extension of SaaS or Software as a Service. It implies that your software system is hosted externally with a third party service and you get the rights to deploy your resources to their platform on a shared basis. Traditionally, DAM was an on premise service, but with the advent of technology, services like SaaS and DAM have moved to an online platform making it more economical and hassle-free.

To begin with Digital Asset Management, you need to adopt a simple three-step procedure:
  • Discover a Digital Asset Management network provider
  • Install all the plug-ins and import all records and files
  • Explore the software and compile your files to work with it

This system of operation is very effective and simple because all the technical complexities and functioning is handled by the host. Being an on-cloud feature, you just need to login into the system and start working. Moreover, you can get your interface customized with the company’s logo and choose a design you prefer from premade templates. Managing assets on a third-party server might seem risky but you can safeguard your data with appropriate safety features.

Nowadays, many corporate businesses have adopted Digital Management Software for their work as it offers a wide range of benefits. This allows you to accelerate your company’s growth while also saving costs. Some of the other features and uses of this technology are briefly described here.

  • Remote Accessibility: Software products hosted on a cloud-based platform can be accessed remotely. The employees get the freedom to work from anywhere and anytime they want.
  • Reusable Digital Assets: You can reuse the space created after deleting obsolete data. It has the capability to manage thousands of data objects without any downtime or system failure.
  • File Support: The DAM system supports multiple file formats like .png, .jpeg, and even TIFF for images and .doc, .txt, etc. for text files.Customized Interface: One can get the user interface of the login page and dashboard customized as per company’s policies and template.
  • 1-Click Sign-in: It has a feature of one-click sign-in by redirecting the browser to the login page from the official website.
  • Reduced Data Redundancy: To avoid ambiguity, it ensures data in the record is not duplicated. Redundancy in data is minimized by creating a single database of the whole system and individually updating the records in the secondary backup.
