What is Digital Asset Management (DAM)?

Digital Asset Management (DAM) is a software solution for managing, organizing, and distributing digital media such as images, videos, audio files, and documents. DAM systems provide companies and organizations with features like metadata management, powerful search capabilities, and tools for sharing and collaboration. They also typically include access control functionality to manage file permissions.

Modern DAM solutions are often integrated with PIM (Product Information Management) systems and e-commerce platforms and can deliver digital assets directly via a Content Delivery Network (CDN). For more foundational information and definitions on Digital Asset Management, click here.

Overview of TESSA DAM Features and Functions

A DAM system offers comprehensive features and smart tools for centralized storage and management of digital files. These capabilities optimize the entire lifecycle of digital assets—from storage to search to version control—enabling businesses to manage their digital content efficiently and effectively.

Centralized Storage and Media Management

With TESSA, companies can store their digital files in a structured manner at a central location. This simplifies access to all media content, as all files are managed in one place. Detailed metadata management and tagging enable clear categorization and organization of files, making them easier to find and maintain. This allows even large volumes of content to be managed and structured effortlessly.

Search and Filtering Functions

The TESSA DAM system offers powerful AI-driven search capabilities, allowing users to quickly and easily find the files they need. The integrated artificial intelligence analyzes file context and content, speeding up the process of locating specific assets. Advanced filtering options further refine searches, providing precise results. These filters make it easier to browse file properties and select assets based on relevant criteria.

Versioning and File History

TESSA's version control allows users to access previous versions of a file and track changes in detail. The version management system documents every modification, providing a comprehensive overview of the file’s editing history. All versions and changes are traceable and can be restored as needed. This feature ensures transparency in the editing process and facilitates efficient teamwork by documenting all adjustments and allowing for easy rollbacks when necessary.

Sharing and Distribution

Customizable Sharing Options for Files or Groups:
TESSA enables the definition of specific approval processes for individual files or entire groups, ensuring that only reviewed and approved content is distributed across channels. Approved assets are automatically exported once they meet the defined status.

Download and Access Control Based on User Permissions:
The integrated rights and roles system allows for individual access permissions to be set, ensuring that only authorized users can access and download specific files. This enhances the security and integrity of digital assets.

Automation and Workflows

Automatic File Format Conversion:
TESSA can automatically convert files into various formats, simplifying content delivery for different channels and reducing manual effort.

Automated Workflows for Optimized Processes and Routine Tasks:
Workflows can be defined within TESSA to automate routine tasks and streamline workflows. For instance, approval or editing processes can be created directly within the media database, with modification requests attached to the relevant asset.

Rights Management and User Roles

User Rights and Access Control for Different Groups:
TESSA simplifies the creation and management of roles and permissions, ensuring that various user groups can access the files and functions they need based on their responsibilities.

Customizable Roles and Permissions for Secure File Access:
Individual roles and permissions ensure that each user can only access files and features relevant to their role, enhancing security and preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data.
