Hi everyone:
I'm performing some digital asset and digital needs assessments in
preparation for DAMS selection and implementation. As I'm interviewing
the staff, it's becoming clear that there are at least two different
types of products that are needed: a DAMS and a document management
system (DMS). The staff has adopted the use of Google Docs, Dropbox, and
other collaborative tools to streamline their workflows, but the
downside of this is that materials and information are scattered
absolutely everywhere. We could also argue for the need for a third
system, a knowledge management system, but those needs can mostly be
addressed through the intranet.
We were sort of hoping that maybe we could implement a DAMS with a DM
overlay, but I don't think such a beast exists. Does it? Or are there
other solutions some of you have already hit upon that allows for the
DAMS to retain all of the digital files while allowing for version
control and collaboration (in an easy-to-use and elegant interface)?
And if some of you have implemented both DM and DAM, I'd love to know
the interplay between these systems.
Thanks,
~Perian
