Empowering Media : Managing multimedia content with Drupal
In this digital age, how does a media organization effectively manage the massive volume of images, graphics, videos and photographs that it gets access to every single day? This inevitably throws up a whole lot of questions.Does the company have a copyright for a particular image? Does the company give image credits? How can the organization know who is tracking the image and how many times it has been already used? Quite often, companies use the time-consuming and laborious method of making calls to determine the answer to these questions. Needless to say, it's an absolute waste of effort and resources.
Where lies the answer?
Today, the media and entertainment industry is faced with the painstaking task of managing exponential volumes of multimedia and rich media content including photography, audio and video clips, and corporate branding assets. So, is there a way to tackle this challenge?
A Digital Asset Management system would surely help to keep track of all the digital assets and ensure that it's easily accessible to users. A Digital Asset Management (DAM) application is a secure, centralized repository for managing digital media. Scalable and flexible, it enables you to easily store, organize, track and distribute your digital assets and offers a host of capabilities for efficient content management including content workflow and collaboration, editorial work flow management, data archiving, subscription management, creative production and publishing and distribution of assets.
