Consolidating Existing Archives into a Unified DAM

Following up on the last post "Introduction to my Blog" that took a high level look at DAM as an archive of reusable assets this post will take a more detailed look of what companies can do to consolidate existing digital content repositories and allow users a single view of all available digital content.

I want to share some technology architecture approaches that have made it easier to achieve such a consolidated view and also point to some process changes that have proven essential to the success of a larger interconnected content management infrastructure.
