Let's get things centralised. It's the first step towards making the most of what you already own and being able to see everything clearly. The initial act of moving your digital files over to a DAM solution is the perfect time to delete old and outdated files and start afresh. It's a great feeling. Bright's DAM solution, Asset Bank flags any duplicates and automatically pulls out metadata to make saving files a doddle.

Metadata (titles, descriptions, etc.) assigned to your files makes them searchable. Bright DAM includes a wealth of features to super charge searching including:

• auto-tagging
• search within documents (PDF, Word, PowerPoint)
• search filters (to reduce the results you see)
• advanced search
• searching on common word variations

With a DAM you will be able to find anything at lightning speed.

With a DAM you'll have an ever growing library of great content that your users can choose from. You can also protect precious assets by making them available for download after approval, to ensure they are only used for great things and not over utilised.

A DAM will become your single source of truth for all things digital. Staff and partners will come here to get the right files, first time. This can also include rights information (e.g. which country an asset can be used in), embargoed assets that become visible on a given date and auto-expiry of content you are no longer licenced to use. Also, when you upload a new version of a file, like your company brand guidelines, users who recently downloaded the old version will get an automatic email letting them know. It's helpful like that.

We find that companies working from multiple offices or from home, typically have a more pressing need for DAM as staff cannot access a single location to get hold of approved materials. With a DAM solution, staff and partners that you want to share content with will have 24/7 access from wherever they are.
