New Digital Asset Management eBook Published by Picturepark

Aarau, Switzerland - 28 January 2014 - Swiss digital asset management (DAM) software provider Picturepark has published DAM Prep in 7 Steps, an all-new eBook that aims to reduce the mystery and confusion that can accompany the planning and launch of a DAM initiative. The 35-page eBook is available for download in PDF, Kindle and ePUB formats at http://picturepark.com/dam-prep

There is much more to planning for digital asset management than choosing the best DAM software, said Picturepark Americas sales director, Hector Medina, who has worked in the DAM industry nearly 20 years. Most of the people I meet have little or no idea what DAM actually involves. This eBook will help them understand what to expect, which I think is good for everyone involved.

DAM Prep in 7 Steps is the first Picturepark publication released under the guidelines of the company's #LearnDAM initiative, which provides digital asset management educational materials that are neither sales-focused nor specific to any particular DAM solution.

Picturepark would rather educate than convince, said Picturepark marketing director and DAM Prep author, David Diamond, who also authored DAM Survival Guide. People who have a better understanding of digital asset management are better equipped to choose the right DAM software for their needs. If Picturepark fits best, that's great; if not, then at least we have done something to help that organization find the DAM solution that works best for them.

DAM Prep in 7 Steps topics include:

Making sure DAM is really what's needed

Finding trusted guidance to help users throughout their initiatives

Managing expectations so that everyone is happier with the DAM

Basic taxonomy and metadata design practices and ideas

Preparing for the DAM configuration project

Launching and supporting the DAM

The Picturepark Web Services API enables developers to integrate Picturepark with other systems.
