We’ve Answered Your DAM Questions
Thursday, October 20th, 2011
There were a lot of great questions in our last digital asset management webinar on User Adoption and we’d like to share them with you, along with their answers. As always, the webinar recording and slides are available for download here. As you can tell from the questions, User Adoption is an important topic that many organizations struggle with.
Q: How many people need to be on the DAM team?
A: It isn’t really about the number of people but rather who is represented. If your DAM is just for the Communications team, then you may only have a couple of people on your DAM team. But if you have an enterprise implementation across teams, you will want to include representative from each of those teams. Especially if you have geographically dispersed teams, it is important to include their feedback.
Q: When you talk about gathering feedback and integrating it back into your digital asset management system, what kind of feedback are you referring to? We have a vendor that we work with for our DAM and can’t easily make changes to the software. (more…)

Top 5 Digital Asset Management User Adoption Metrics
Thursday, October 20th, 2011
User adoption is a key factor for digital asset management success. In fact, a DAM is only as useful as its users. Administrators could have the perfect folder structure, a superb controlled vocabulary and keywording system, the best metadata strategy around…but without users, all that amazing organizing goes to waste. It’s like inventing and implementing your own customized dewey decimal system, and no one stepping foot in your library.
So how do you know if your system is gaining user adoption? We’ll provide the metrics you’ll need to monitor and gauge usage of your web-based digital asset management system so you can see if your campaigns and promotions have caught on. Here are different key performance indicators (KPIs) for measuring user adoption.
