Why is Digital Asset Management Critical for Sports Teams, Leagues, Universities and Associations?

For content owners and producers having a Digital Asset Management strategy has become an essential part of doing business and touches upon virtually every aspect of the team’s operations and future multi-media ROI opportunities.

A well constructed digital asset management strategy provides organizations with a single point of management for rich media assets and the life cycle of the production process including acquisition, editing and distribution for all digital media files and underlying metadata.

This infrastructure provides the tools to create the digital content essential to take advantage of new technologies and distribution outlets through a centralized efficient digital work-flow. It also enables real time collaboration and coordination throughout the organization using video assets like never before, increased output with less time spent and better utilization of staff.

The system will protect the video assets for the long term and provide the ability to create new marketing capabilities and revenue streams through increased advertising inventory, sponsorship opportunities, in-venue promotions, social media exposure and e-commerce platforms across broadcast, web and mobile distribution platforms. A well-constructed DAM plan drives new branding opportunities and significantly increases the ability to reach fans on any platform, anywhere they want to consume your content.

As an internal competitive benefit, DAM also enables management to provide the coaching staff and players with the latest tools and innovations for video capture and display in the locker rooms, coaches’ offices, team meeting rooms/theaters, family lounges and with minor league and remote scouting operations.
