Digital Asset Manager Launch

The new Digital Asset Management (DAM) system for all of our photos, logos, testimonials, and videos will officially launch December 1. This system will replace Mediabin which will be discontinued by December 30, 2014.

The main purpose of the new DAM is to have an asset system that is fully metadata/keyword searchable. Additional features include*:

•  Improved search functionality with multiple filters.
• The option to add images to a basket for a bulk download.
• Multiple views of results page
• The system will be connected to Drupal for ease in adding images to webpages (coming after launch).
• Completed testimonials (photos with words) for marketing and recruitment campaigns (coming after launch).
• The addition of videos to download related to the Expect MORE. Engage MORE. Experience MORE brand messaging
• The ability to download images at various sizes and resolutions
• The ability to “share” assets directly onto social networks and via email

* Not all of these features will be available upon the initial launch.

We are offering training sessions for those who would like an overview of the new DAM. We encourage everyone to attend a session as this new system will be the only way to retrieve high quality images for communication pieces.
