DIGITAL MANAGEMENT

Digital asset management came about as the industry saw the need for a way to systematically arrange, protect, retrieve, and re-use large volumes of electronic files at a moment’s notice.
These digital assets are particularly important to those whose business is highly dependent on computer graphics and images. However, because almost all companies handle digital assets in the form of files and documents, digital asset management has found use in almost all types of businesses.

Digital asset used to refer to valuable proprietary information that your company owns and uses on a regular basis. Basically, they refer to any type of computer file, like sound, video, image, document, application, presentation, etc. Anything that can be found in your company’s computer system is considered a digital asset.

CONVERTING TO DIGITAL FILES

Almost anything can be converted to digital asset as long as you have an input device to do the job. The most common device for converting hard copy to digital asset is the scanner. The scanner captures an image of the file and converts it to a digital asset, readable by a computer.

Digital asset management software facilitates the filing and organizing of your files. This saves your company in terms of man hours as the tedious, repetitive aspect of handling files and documents is left to an automated machine. Imagine the man hours you can save when clerical work is handled by a computer, allowing your employees to perform more important functions in the company.

Digital asset management systems do not only provide archiving solutions. They provide an interface that can be accessed across the board, by any type of program. Your digital asset manager can be customized to integrate with all your company’s applications and programs so that access and retrieval of your digital asset can be achieved in as little time as possible.
