5 Things Thursday: Digital Asset Management Edition

I just returned from a wonderfully informative time at the Henry Stewart Events DAM LA conference (#DAMLA). Here are more than five takeaways for those interested in managing digital assets:

1. Did you know you there is an app designed for accessing SharePoint on your iPad or iPhone? SharePlus is an app employed by companies like Skechers to remotely access their DAM content.
2. Check out this awesome digital collaboration and editing tool for photographers called GLOBALedit.
3. Do you need help selecting a DAM system? Materials from Theresa Regli and The Real Story Group can help your company pick the best tool.
4. Did you know you can customize the XMP info on Adobe files? The Marketing Store employs this in their creative workflow to effectively incorporate metadata for their DAM.
5. Are you craving more information on taxonomy and metadata? Check out this blog from Earley & Associates.

BONUS: The DAM Daily by DigitalAssetManagement.com features a lot of the topics from this conference.

DOUBLE BONUS: Here is an awesome article about a project featured at the conference - Tagasauris crowd-sourcing metadata for Magnum archive.
