So, your new digital asset management (DAM) system is all up and running. You’re ready to start boosting your business’s productivity and reap the rewards of having a centralised repository of files. But no one actually knows or understands how to maintain and make the most out of the DAM.
The solution? Having a dedicated digital asset manager can keep things running smoothly and avoid wasting time and money fixing simple issues. What exactly does having a digital asset manager entail, though? Keep reading to find out…
Simply put, a digital asset manager is responsible for all things digital assets. From the effective naming of specific files to the maintenance of a management system, a manager can take care of it all. Essentially, an asset manager acts as a librarian for digital assets – organising, archiving and storing all your company’s digital files.
While a digital asset manager is responsible for keeping tabs on the management system, they are also in charge of how employees, and even the public, can access, use and interact with the files.
If your business manages and uses a sizeable digital asset management system, then chances are, you’ll benefit from a manager. This is especially important for larger companies and organisations, who have several departments and many employees accessing the system.
Having a dedicated digital asset manager ensures that nobody can access files they shouldn’t be, and each department within your business can access the files they need. A digital asset manager will act as a bridge between departments, providing useful information for any issue with digital assets.
Generally, most companies hire someone with experience or knowledge in the field of technology to be a digital asset manager. A manager will need basic technology skills and an analytical mind along with a keen eye for detail and good project management skills. But other than that, anyone can become a manager, with the right training.
