What is the purpose of a digital asset management tool ?

A digital asset management solution allows you to centralise and manage digital assets. As they grow, bringing them together in a single interface greatly simplifies their management. And by management, we mean the administration of your corporate digital assets by covering their entire life cycle. From the creation of each of these resources to their distribution to the right people, and including the management of different needs such as storage, transformation, search etc.

By taking control of all the stages in the life cycle of your digital assets, teams can not only increase their productivity by focusing on higher value-added tasks, but also protect these assets. Indeed, the use of digital asset management software limits IT risks such as cyber-attacks or the use of fraudulent or obsolete assets, which can have reputational as well as financial consequences.
