Tuesday, July 5th, 2011Technically it’s not a Monday, but coming back from the holiday weekend, this Tuesday sure feels like a Monday. So we’re going to give you another DAM Mondays tip anyway, as a little pick-me-up to start out this short week.

Feature in Focus: Administration…In Batch!
Tuesday, May 24th, 2011Tight deadlines and the constant demand for quicker results in shorter time frames are realities in today’s all-digital business world. WebDAM has an arsenal of tools available to help companies meet these needs, delivering DAM results quickly and accurately.
The search tool in WebDAM is the go-to tool for system users trying to find the digital assets they need. The Power Search page gives users the ability to further specify their query with date ranges, file orientations and more. These same search tools are also available to the system administrators and contributors in the backend of the system. The difference with the backend search lies in what can be done with the results…in batch!
What’s New in WebDAM: Upload Notifications
Wednesday, May 11th, 2011In a large organization with designers, photographers, publishers and marketers all accessing and uploading creative collateral daily, it can get overwhelming! How do you know when a photographer has completed a job? Are any images awaiting metadata? Upload Notifications are here to help!
Breaking Down DAM (Digital Asset Management) Distribution
Thursday, May 5th, 2011
Partners, distributors, media outlets, web producers, ad agencies, publishers—all of those groups depend on your digital media every day. How do you manage these needs? Surprisingly, many companies—both small and large—have no process in place to manage these requests, resulting in project delays and bottlenecks.
This process is known as digital media distribution and is a key component to digital asset management. A DAM’s core functionality includes managing, searching, organization and archiving assets, but what happens when you’re inundated by internal and external requests? (more…)
Feature in Focus: Lightbox
Thursday, April 28th, 2011Allow me to show you the Lightbox!
Lightboxes are the solution to so many distribution challenges, for several reasons, but most importantly, Lightboxes save you time! No more cumbersome downloading, burning images onto a CD, and overnighting disks that may not even be the ones the recipient was hoping for… Or worse, getting lost in the mailroom shuffle!
In my past life in publishing, this would happen time and time again. The photographer would overnight a CD of high resolution images for review… only for our photo editor to say, “I can’t use any of these! Do they have anymore they can send?” Should this happen once and sometimes twice (as it often did), you’ve eaten up a week up precious production time!

5 Best FTP Programs
Wednesday, April 21st, 2010FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is commonly used by designers, photographers and other types of creatives to transfer large files between servers. Since WebDAM fully supports FTP transfer as one method of uploading to your online digital asset management system, I often get asked for my recommendations of the best, free (or cheap) FTP programs. Here are my picks:
FETCH SOFTWORKS

Fetch is a full-featured file transfer client exclusively for Mac users. Fetch supports both FTP and sFTP file transfer protocols to ensure compatibility with most internet providers, web-hosting companies, publishers, and more. The Droplet shortcuts and Dashboard widgets make it easy to upload files and track the progress of the upload through the user friendly interface. (more…)
