Tips for Keeping Your DAM System Healthy

A digital asset management system is a great tool for saving time and money. Hosted systems like Mediabox-DAM allow users to manage and share assets from one convenient location with any internal or external guest who has an internet connection.

Want to make sure your DAM system remains healthy? Here are a few tips:

1. Be aware of aliased assets- duplications lead to redundant data
2. Archive old files- access activity reports to see which files are accessed infrequently
3. Reorganize your folders- delete or update old folders
4. Analyze your folders- if you have thousands of assets in one folder you might want to create subfolders
5. Identify required metadata- inform users uploading assets which metadata fields are necessary

Hosted vs. Installed Software

Understanding the differences between Hosted and Installed Software is important in deciding which is best for you. Read below for a comparison of the two applications and what they offer.

PRICE

• Hosted applications charge a continuous fee for the duration of the service.
• Installed software has a one-time purchase fee.

SECURITY

• Hosted applications provide their own security and data backup (often a higher level than you could implement yourself).
• Installed software does not come with built-in security or data backup, therefore, you are responsible for implementing and managing your own system(s).

ACCESS

• Hosted applications offer remote access. This means as long as you have an internet connection you will be able to access the software.
• Installed software is not typically remote. However, a dedicated IT professional could set up and maintain remote access.

UPDATES

• Hosted applications bundle updates, tech support and trouble-shooting into their monthly fee structure.
• Installed software does not include updates, tech support or trouble-shooting. Any after-sale support would be an extra cost.

CUSTOMIZATION

• Hosted applications will offer a certain amount of customizations, but they are limited by the system.
• Installed software does not offer limitless customization either, but you could hire a developer to update the software to your needs.
