Managing these assets effectively with essential protocols requires a centralized system that has features such as:

 

  • Directory mapping
  • File hierarchy
  • Browser-based interface
  • Optimal findability
  • Ease and speed of import / export
  • Preferred display options
  • Categorization and configuring models
  • Well-defined naming conventions
  • Customizable taxonomies to allow for industry-specific classifications
  • Metadata for search optimization
  • Accessibility permissions and controls
  • Security functions
  • Detection of duplicates
  • File lifecycle tracking
  • Administrative tools including file transformation, resizing & transcoding
  • Auto-generated notifications and alerts
