  • Print Drives Dyson's Asset Choice
    DAM ● ● ● DYSON Print drives Dyson’s asset choice Dyson had specific needs from a new digital asset management system and workflow system and found the answers in the software of censhare, a system already proven in Germany hen Dyson started looking for a new digital asset Wmanagement system three years ago, its requirements were quite specific: the system it chose to manage what is now around 60,000 assets had to be conversant with print. That might seem obvious, since the vacuum cleaner and hand dryer company creates huge quantities of marketing and technical information about its products, including in-store point of sale, packaging, and manuals to go in the box for every sale it makes, but finding a system that speaks the language of print was not straight-forward, according to Dyson’s Creative Services IT manager Gary Bidwell. “We still use a lot of ink on paper so we needed a company that understood print. There are many digital asset management systems but only about 10 that work well with the print industry. Most brand management systems don’t understand print. Content management systems are ten to a penny and have all sorts of functionality, but we were Bidwell adds: “There is nothing more censhare presents a and the existence of a good development specifically addressing the print production demanding for a DAM than a newspaper, gallery view of images, team and back-up behind the software with a large preview of side of things. We take great pride in the so the robustness was proven.” a selected image was also vital.

    FALL 2020 Customer Success Report Digital Asset Management Category Digital Asset Management Category Most companies accumulate huge volumes of files that are important for their needs. These files are called digital assets. To keep their digital assets and data organized, businesses use digital asset management (DAM) software.
