You know, I could see how a DAM might feed into a CMS--and it would be a great idea--but would not want to be responsible for digital asset management if the opposite were true--so much of what is required for DAM is irrelevant and usually not present on a CMS.
I am curious, though. Is anyone using a DAM that is usefully connected to their CMS? What is good/not so good about what you've got? ari On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 10:05 AM, TAMSEN SCHWARTZMAN <TAMSEN_SCHWARTZMAN at exchange.fitnyc.edu> wrote: > Hello, > I would be most interested to hear the responses, as we are currently looking > into a new CMS here at MFIT.
