DAM Services in the Key of D
We’ve developed a DAM approach and every step begins with a “D” to make it easy to remember. We can work on any or all of them, in any order, depending on what’s best for our clients. We are platform agnostic, which means we can truly help you choose the right DAM, and then make it work for you. From stand-alone projects to ongoing managed-services, our staff makes managing media an intuitive part of your workflow.
We start with a conversation about your current process. Together, we’ll assess what’s working, what’s hurting, what’s on your wishlist, and how Aldis can help.
So many options! From RFP management to helping with platform selection, we can streamline the decision-making process, in three phases: Engage, Explore, and Evaluate.
The next step in the process involves the layout and configuration of the system – optimizing the user experience and its infrastructural backbone (e.g., DAM software and hardware, and a hosting strategy) – and a governance plan that ensures your “people system” is well-designed, too.
The next step in our service approach is to customize your DAM solution for your team’s unique language and work rhythms. We begin by implementing some key automation processes – industry asset management best practices – and then we adapt search fields, filters, types of metadata, and tagging structures to ensure assets are consistently saved for intuitive searchability.
The key to a good DAM is to NOT “set it and forget it.” It needs to be a living library that evolves and grows as your company does. Once we’ve deployed your new DAM system, we can stay with you to provide the training and to make system changes and optimizations where necessary. You won’t know what works (or doesn’t) until you’ve had a chance to live with it!
If you’re like most companies, you have media assets - photographs, film, tape on multiple formats - that could be reused in your media production today, if only you could access it. And some of it might be of priceless historical value. Aldis can help. Whatever the format, we can digitize it for you – and then archive it in your DAM so you can find it when you need it with minimal time and effort expended. Don’t let your valuable assets go unused… or become lost to history.
