5. Benefits and Challenges of DAM DAM Strengths Efficient storage and searching for assets whether they are images, documents or final artwork Especially well suited to accommodate a substantial number of large video files. Strong user management to control access Advanced metadata appending to enhance access Check-in/check-out functionality for collaboration Version control and format conversion for multi-venue use DAM Challenges Limitations for organizations with distributed marketing networks Altering previously stored artwork results in the creation of new versions of the asset and new associated metadata = DAM systems begin to bloat Gained efficiencies slide For distributed marketers, updating each local version of an asset with new copy or new images can become unmanageable
