Artesia is an enterprise-grade asset management repository, containing functionality far in advance of the capabilities of the built-in CMS Asset Manager. That said, generally few organisations will require the power of an enterprise-class asset management system and not already have one. So the likelihood is that you would not implement Artesia (or Cumulus for that matter) as part of a CMS project, but rather as a project unto itself. Mostly these systems are used by media-heavy or marketing-heavy organisations (newspapers, TV stations, magazines, industry bodies, etc).
We have just deployed with Canto Cumulus and have found a few areas of the integration a bit lacking. Having done it I would offer the following advice: 1) CSS supporting images (buttons, backgrounds, borders, shading, icons, etc) should stay in the CMS Asset Manager for speed, only corporate image and video assets should go in the DAM 2) Not all DAM tools integrate smoothly with CMS as they rely on an integration component to be plugged into the CMS called an "External Folder" and these are of varying quality 3) Don't assume that because you can implement a CMS, you can also implement DAM - like all things the quality of the implementation depends on the skills of the solution designer, so *when* you get it wrong (and you will) it will come back to hurt you; get help from people who do it for a living and know the technology in question PS. DAM = Digital Asset Management HTH.
