Hi James,

This has cleared up most of my confusion.
I was hoping to also find a definition of an Information Management System IMS in this article. Is it the same as a CMS?

thanks!

With respect to your definition of Digital Asset Management, I’d also offer the following update:

“In DAM, a piece of content does not become an asset until it has been classified, indexed, versioned, secured, stored, possibly reformatted or canonicalized in some way, and (typically) assigned a lifecycle state, a unique ID, and an owner. These are the things that make a piece of content an asset.

Key to making it all work is metadata, or information about the content. Simply put, content + metadata = an asset. A digital asset management system provides a secure repository that facilitates the creation, management, organization, production, distribution, and potentially, monetization of media files identified as digital assets”. (source: CMS Watch, ‘The Digital & Media Asset Management Report 2008’).

FYI, Media Equation has a DAM and Digital Rights Management product which is in productive use with over 65 customers.

Happy to discuss this with you.

Sincerely,
Charles Rignall
