As the world’s leading conference dedicated to digital asset management (DAM), DAM New York<\/a> is a unique environment to share knowledge, exchange experiences, and build long-lasting professional networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a great time connecting with DAM professionals across industry sectors who are also thinking about the future of digital asset management. During the event, I had the opportunity to present a session<\/a> about how a digital-first DAM helps resolve key asset management challenges and adds value for every user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legacy DAMs are a good example of the old saying, \u201cIf it ain\u2019t broke, don\u2019t fix it.\u201d They can still do the job for many enterprises and add value. However, legacy DAMs weren\u2019t built to keep up with today\u2019s fast-moving digital-first visual economy. Teams relying on legacy solutions are faced with ever-increasing costs of maintaining their DAM and are quickly being left behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
