Does your company need a DAM system? 

Do you find yourself continuously creating databases to try to better organize your media resources? Are you using all sorts of free management and storage tools to preserve your data, to the point that the situation has gotten too complex? Clearly, you need to migrate to a collaborative platform for managing your media content! No doubt, what you need is a DAM solution. 

Below are several situations that suggest that you’d benefit from better organization of your media content management. If any of them describe you, then there’s a problem and you should get on Ephoto Dam ASAP!

Here are 12 signs that a DAM solution is right for you:

• 1. You’re constantly exchanging emails between coworkers and external partners to share visuals that have increasingly large file sizes.
• 2. You’ve become a frequent user of WeTransfer, Dropbox, Box, and other file sharing solutions, and you’re now on the verge of subscribing to the paid versions of these tools.
• 3. Your digital resources (photos, videos, infographics, written documents, etc.) are produced by teams different from those in charge of distributing them.
• 4. For lack of an adequate solution, you’re still using USB flash drives or memory cards to share photos, videos, and large files with other teams or departments.
• 5. The process for creating and approving your media resources is still manual, with exchanges via instant messaging, email, or phone calls to indicate that a file has been approved and that the campaign can go live.
• 6. Your servers, including network access servers, are bursting at the seams due to the increased volume and size of the media being stored.
• 7. You’re wasting precious time searching for visuals or files to be able to reuse them, and you can never find the right version.
• 8. You never really know what user rights are associated with the visuals you have. Do you have permission to use them? With what references? Under what conditions? With what restrictions?
• 9. You’ve been told before that the visual or logo used in a recent campaign was not the current version.
• 10. Among your files, you have visuals going back several years sand you continue to reuse them to illustrate certain campaigns and creations.
• 11. Your communications are fragmented by distribution channel (displays, social media, print, direct marketing, etc.), by product line, or by geographic region. As such, your media are created independently by each team and each one has to start from scratch.
• 12. Finally, you regularly distribute large volumes of media and you have several distribution tools (an ad server, a CMS, an email tool, etc.) to which you have to add files manually.

So, are you convinced?
