Hello everyone,
I’ve recently been diving deeper into digital asset management (DAM) and wanted to start a discussion on how different setups and systems can improve workflow efficiency in managing large volumes of assets. Specifically, I’ve been exploring how to optimize DAM solutions within a Windows environment, and I’d love to hear about other’s experiences or best practices.
In our office, we’ve been using a combination of cloud-based DAM systems and on-premises servers. While the cloud is fantastic for scalability and access, we’ve run into some performance issues, especially when handling high-resolution files or large video libraries. This got me thinking about how to better leverage Windows workstations in our workflow.
We currently use a mix of high-end Windows machines for tasks that require more computing power, like rendering or batch processing large asset files. The stability and processing power of these Windows workstations have been crucial for our team, but we’ve been exploring how to further integrate them into our DAM systems more efficiently.
One of the areas I’m focusing on is the integration of metadata management directly from these workstations, which would allow for faster tagging, categorization, and searchability of our assets. Currently, this is done manually, and while it works, it could definitely be streamlined with the right combination of tools.
Has anyone here had success in optimizing their DAM systems for Windows workstations? I’m particularly interested in software recommendations that integrate well with Windows platforms and can handle metadata management, version control, and automated workflows. Additionally, any tips on how to better manage local storage for heavy files would be greatly appreciated!
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Best regards,
Charlie Katherine
