Overall Satisfaction with Acquia DAM (Widen)
Our organization uses Acquia DAM (Widen) for its digital asset management services. Because we have a plethora of assets including and not limited to assets for our social media usage, stock images, in-house images and photography, icons, templates and etc., we moved to an Acquia DAM (Widen) Collective site for more organized management. While establishing and maintaining a cohesive organizational brand, we found it helpful to have a platform where we can host everything we have in one place. Acquia DAM (Widen) also allows for customization, and the platform has a very intuitive tagging system to keep our assets categorized!
- Metadata tagging system is intuitive.
- The provided PrintUI extension for InDesign is incredibly helpful when it comes to template-making.
- Easy-to-use and navigable interface.
- Customizable design.
- When importing assets, I sometimes encounter the problem of accidentally adding the wrong files. From what I've used, there doesn't seem to be a confirmation or a way to double-check that before it starts to upload automatically.
- I think it would be helpful to have a 'recommended image size and resolution' for dashboard messages!
- Asset categorization and navigation.
- Customizable dashboard messages for a brand-specific style.
- Portals which we can create to send to shareholders and also to client service managers.
- We definitely see a positive on the overall organization, but we have yet to launch the service officially to employees. We hope there will be positive feedback all around!
As our organization expands, we are hoping for the Widen platform to be a one-stop source for all sales and marketing collateral. This means that new employees can easily and intuitively create content without needing to go through trillions of other resources we have. With templates and brand style guides on the front page, we hope the collective site will offer a brand-specific overview.
We are currently updating and repurposing our old graphics for the purpose of transferring them over to the DAM system. One thing we've noticed is relatively easy ease of integration: simple drag and drop, and tagging functions. We have categorized our assets accordingly (social media collateral, email collateral, photographs, etc).
