1. Open-source DAM
Open-source DAM is DAM software that gives you full access to the original source code. This gives you the chance to add new features and update existing ones in the DAM system.
But, keep in mind, in order to make changes to the source code, you’re going to need programmers to help you.
2. SaaS DAM
SaaS DAM is DAM software that is developed and maintained by a third-party provider. You won’t be able to access and modify the codes.
With this type of software, you’ll need to pay for the license through a subscription payment. No need for a development team here since your DAM provider takes care of that.

1. Centralize
A DAM system lets you centralize all of your digital assets in one single location so that you don’t have to work across multiple folders stored in different places. This means your team can work together in one place without worrying about out-of-date assets.
2. Manage
With a DAM, you can easily organize digital content through folders, tagging, and naming conventions. If you’re working with a large collection of assets, you can easily search and filter your assets to quickly find what you need. That way, you’ll know exactly what digital assets you have without the mess of searching through scattered files.
3. Optimize
Whether your digital assets need to go on a website, in a PDF, or on a sales channel, you’ll need to optimize the asset for wherever it’s going. With a DAM system, you can resize, transform, and format your digital assets, so that they’re optimized and ready for their final destination.
4. Distribute
DAM makes sharing digital media easy no matter where it needs to go—whether it's to agencies, publishers, sales channels, or retail partners. Depending on the DAM system, you can share your media through links, feeds, exports, or even integrations.
Better team collaboration
Your team can collaborate even better when working with a DAM solution. You can all work from the same place in real-time, avoiding unnecessary issues like asset redundancy (or duplicates) in your media collection or sharing out-of-date media.
Improved security
DAM systems make sure you have a secure place to store your digital assets where only users with the right permissions have access to your media.
Storing your assets in a safe place like a DAM also prevents any data loss—no need to worry about accidentally deleting or losing important media.
Increased efficiency
Your team can create, review, and format all your digital media directly in the DAM system, meaning they won’t need to hop around between complex file systems trying to complete all their different tasks.
Plus, your designers will have an overview of your assets so they can quickly update and repurpose old media.
Better user experience
Whether your digital media is for your website, marketplaces, or clients, you want to make sure your assets are high quality, consistent, and formatted perfectly for wherever they are going.
DAM makes that possible, so you can give customers an experience that makes them excited to buy.
Brand consistency
Using a DAM system can help, not only build a brand identity but also keep it consistent. With a full overview of all your brand assets, you can easily identify what media breaks branding guidelines or just needs some updating.
Plus, you can store your branding guidelines directly in your DAM so everyone who needs it has access.
