Overall Satisfaction with Widen
Acquia DAM (Widen) allows us to create and distribute collateral in a controlled way, allowing and restricting access as appropriate. It is a valuable tool that ensures consistent use of imagery, resources, and branding both within our organization and what we provide for external use. Building out portals that are standalone or integrated into our websites has allowed us to grant appropriate access to business resources.
- Categorization and filtering of assets
- Ability to embed into websites
- Establishing content portals for specific groups of assets and collateral
- In longer-length portal embeds, the ability to link to an anchor (page. htm#section) would be SUPER helpful
- Sometimes searching within the platform is difficult, but that could be our categorization/organization, too.
- Any kind of auto-generation capability is always welcome.
- Quickly share (approved) resources internally
- Quickly share (approved) resources externally
- Excellent search/filtering capability
- Providing standardized/universal resources across the organization reduces use of outdated/sunsetted material.
- Acquia DAM (Widen) has established itself as the 'first stop' on any search for organizational assets.
- Acquia DAM (Widen) makes the Branding Gestapo happy that they can roll out new collateral and know that everyone can use the most current revision at will.
The more functionality that can be built into the portals and how they are displayed/embedded into our websites, the better. Being able to customize links to point to a specific asset or section within an embedded resource would be amazing. The ability to customize how portals layout - carousel, featured/focused resource - would also be a great update.
Acquia DAM (Widen) has saved me, personally, hours of time in resizing images for display, uploading full-size collateral, linking to full-size collateral, and updating (MANY TIMES) existing resources for anything from full rebranding to undiscovered typos. Additionally, it has taken the guesswork out of trying to track down the most current version of a resource because it is used as the repository for both internal and external assets.
