Digital asset management software is a game-changing investment for any business. To get the most out of your DAM, you need to choose a platform that meets your needs-and hosting is a big part of that.
There are cloud based DAMs, those that are hosted on-premise (i.e. with you), and a hybrid of the two. Start by identifying the problems you're trying to solve.
To help you choose the most suitable DAM, we've looked at the benefits of the three most popular hosting options.
This is a cloud-based DAM system. It means you don't have to worry about investing in on-site servers. You also don't have to worry about maintaining or repairing them when something goes wrong. Usually you won't need to take care of back-ups either.
A cloud-based DAM is scalable too, allowing you to add or reduce storage whenever you need to.
A SaaS DAM is right for:
An on-premise solution is when the DAM is hosted on servers that you own. It needs a reliable network, as well as an in-house team to maintain it.
If you've got a dedicated development team and your DAM is open source, you can even modify the system and introduce new functionality.
Another benefit of an on-premise DAM is that it doesn't rely on an internet connection. This can help reduce downtime and avoids issues with slower connections.
A hosted DAM is right for:
You can combine the functions of a cloud and on-premise DAM which means you can rely on its SaaS capabilities to share files from the cloud, while sensitive data remains secured with extra protection on your in-house server.
Here are some important points to consider ahead of choosing a Hybrid DAM, though:
A Hybrid DAM is perfect for:
