Is your DAM a Horror Story? from MerlinOne on Vimeo.

Digital asset management (DAM) systems are designed to help organizations efficiently store, organize, and manage their digital assets such as images, videos, and documents. While DAM systems can be incredibly useful, they are not immune to problems or issues that can arise. Some common issues with digital asset management systems include:

• Poor user adoption: If employees do not fully adopt and use the DAM system, it can lead to inconsistencies and inefficiencies in managing digital assets. This can result in employees storing files on their local machines or in disparate systems, making it difficult to locate and manage assets.
• Inaccurate metadata: Metadata is essential for organizing and searching for digital assets in the DAM system. However, if the metadata is inaccurate or incomplete, it can lead to difficulty in finding and using assets, resulting in wasted time and resources.
• Insufficient permissions: Inadequate permissions can lead to security breaches, unauthorized access, and the risk of loss or damage to digital assets.
• Limited scalability: As organizations grow and digital assets increase, the DAM system may not be able to handle the volume of assets or the number of users. This can lead to slow system performance or even system crashes.
