Need a clarification on DAM
Hi,
I am new to DAM system. I have a very general basic question about DAM. Lets assume I have RDBMS, huge storage space for my content. Lets say I have 3 developers for developing a solution for working on my media content and storing its metadata and location data in the RDBMS. Can I ask what is the other extra value that DAM can provide for people like me.
This is the explaination I am suppose to provide to my company for DAM acceptance. Will someone answer my question.
Thanks,
Warm regards, Shravan
Hi Shravan,
DAM and in general document management is more than just file+metadata. A few things that comes with a full content management system :
- Versionning : One document can have several versions, you need to be able to store them and find them
- Data Structure : One document (or media) is more than a file, you can have several files attached to it (like full res and thumbnail for pic for instance)
- Permission and security (who can access what)
- Worflows
- Business logic (metada inheritance for instance, expiration dateā¦)
- And nice interface to show you all that and also web services to call the same thing from external systems
