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.

Magan Arthur: Intro to My Blog

What readers can expect from my blog is unbiased evaluation of trends and technology with real life stories of large scale DAM projects. I work with various vendors in the area of digital media creation, manipulation, management and distribution. While I have personal opinions about the technologies, architectures, and even people behind the products, I follow a simple principle: Every project is unique and the right application or technology is determined only through unbiased analysis and “down-to-earth” approach.
