Features commonly found in dedicated Digital Asset Management (DAM) Software.

Ingestion of digital assets into a DAM platform can typically be made individually or in bulk and can occur through a native browser interface. Drag-and-drop features can streamline file ingestion.

Downloads allow for role-based file conversions into multiple formats. Download settings can be configured to ensure compliance with licenses and copyrights. Assets may also be embedded into design files (like Adobe) for auto-updating other assets when versioning occurs.

Assets can be organized in drop-down menus to assist in discovery and grouped with related assets for greater utilization. Most DAMs offer AI and machine vision tagging tools to automatically recognize key data in visual elements which automatically sets tags and metadata fields.

Centralized storage capacity and accessibility for centralized storage of marketing and brand assets. These can be anything from documents, audio files, videos, images, creative files (Adobe, etc.), etc. Outdated assets can be archived.

The ability to share and distribute assets with internal or external partners using sharing links attached to emails and messages, as well as portals. Data and assets can also be syndicated to third parties. Some DAMs enable asset publishing directly to end-user sites for more efficient distribution.

Provides users with access to content and branded assets through filters and predictive keyword searches. Search filters may include file formats, date ranges, and metadata values. Advanced metadata and custom field options allow for assets to include unlimited details that allow for rich search parameters.

The ability to label assets with keywords makes them easier to find. Tagging can be automated and may offer bulk tagging capabilities.

Templates and text editors facilitate the creation and publication of branded copy as well as asset cropping and modification. Version tracking should also be available for assets with duplicate names, along with their usage history. Some DAMs offer integration with editing tools so that high-fidelity edits can be made outside the DAM and automatically synced back as a new or updated version.

Blocks of HTML code that facilitate the inclusion of videos from third-party sources on websites.

Descriptive information about data that can be indexed to assets to facilitate discovery and automation. This also allows asset use cases to be identified.

Enables users to create and share customizable asset collections with internal or external partners.

Time or role-based access to stored and downloadable assets. This helps ensure that content is both up to date and accessible to only authorized individuals or groups for a predetermined amount of time.

Key integrations for Digital Asset Management can include out-of-box software integrations with CMS, CRM, PIM, Marketing Automation, etc.

APIs act as an interface between apps and enable the creation of customized integrations that connect DAM platforms to other software. Digital assets can also be accessed and managed through other tools in a user's tech stack.

Collaborative workflow with role-based permissions as well as tracking and monitoring of asset usage, requests, and assignments.

Automated ranking capabilities driven by metadata enable the quick discovery of assets related to those being visualized by users. The different assets that users have assigned to a particular product may also be displayed, facilitating connections between assets and products.

Users can report on and analyze usage, performance, ROI, and/or other metrics of success.

Users can create, customize and share dashboards, which provide an overview of the most important metrics.
