Ad Agency Digital Asset Management – Advantage Software to the Rescue!

Advertising agency clients of all sizes are embracing our Advantage software and technology with questions like, “What exactly is Digital Asset Management?”

Digital asset management (DAM) consists of management tasks and decisions surrounding the ingestion, annotation, cataloguing, storage, retrieval and distribution of digital assets. Digital photographs, animations, videos and music are samples of media asset management (a sub-category of DAM.

Digital asset management systems includes computer software and/or hardware systems that aid in the process of digital asset management.

The term "digital asset management" (DAM) also refers to the protocol for downloading, renaming, backing up, rating, grouping, archiving, optimizing, maintaining, thinning, and exporting files.

The term "media asset management" (MAM) is a sub-category of "Digital Asset Management," mainly for audio, video and other media content. Generally the "asset" being managed is collected and stored in a digital format.

Advantage includes a built-in and fully integrated document and digital asset manager. You can now upload and track documents or creative assets by simply linking to key levels within Advantage. A folder system is created and maintained automatically. Metadata is created and attached to each document, making it searchable as well as exportable.

Search for all assets by client, product, campaign, job, etc. Additionally, a complete audit trail of document transactions by job illustrates why it may have gone over budget!  Security may be applied to protect confidential documents such as contracts, so that all information can be safely stored in the system.

New Ad Agency Project Management Tool Routes Assignments Outside of Your Main Workflow Schedule!

The Advantage Software Company has just released the Beta Version 3.20 of our Webvantage web-based agency management software with some powerful new features that will help increase workflow efficiencies and job turnaround times!


Alert Assignments is a new feature that enables agency project managers to quickly assign and track workflow details outside of the main schedule. You can use Alert Assignments with built-in, user-defined workflow to 'route' tasks and issues automatically to team members.

Project managers can spend more time managing and less time entering data!

Alert Assignments allows you to gain complete visibility into all projects from a single, interactive view. Task and issue routing are automatic based on the state assigned by each team member and the workflow defined.

This feature can be used to track any task or issue that requires routing, accompanying documents or collaboration, including the creative and production processes, contract or RFP participation, and issue tracking on digital or other programming projects.

This slick feature speeds time to market and tracks progress, but eliminates the need to update every interaction in the project management schedule manually. In other words, you get more work done…with fantastic tracking and accountability…in less time!
