n companies there may be various activities that require the\u00a0involvement of external collaborators, professional photographers<\/strong>, for the photographic coverage of institutional events, photo shoots to create new product catalogs, field documentation of the progress of projects, and so on. In all these cases, one of the difficulties that are often encountered is\u00a0how to manage photographic contributions from different collaborators<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Images received via WeTransfer, as an attachment via email or with a hand-delivered disc, perhaps after quite some time has passed since the day of the shooting. Sound familiar to you?<\/p>\n

There is a way to manage collaborations with photographers through\u00a0simple workflows<\/strong>\u00a0that allow you to better organize all the material useful for communication. Find out how\u00a0Digital Asset Management supports multimedia content governance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Build your workflow to manage photos and videos<\/h2>\n

Let’s take the\u00a0example of a company that deals with fashion<\/a>\u00a0to concretely illustrate how to structure a\u00a0well-organized workflow to manage photos and videos<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The steps could be the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The photographers upload all the shots of the fashion shows in a\u00a0private section of the online archive<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Editors receive an email notification<\/strong>\u00a0informing them of the uploads, at which point they view the material on the platform, select the best shots and\u00a0enrich them with suitable metadata<\/a>\u00a0to describe them and make them searchable.<\/li>\n
  3. The marketing staff check the photos complete with metadata, make any changes and\u00a0decide what to make available in the online archive<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Press office colleagues access the approved images and\u00a0choose which ones to publish<\/strong>\u00a0in the various communications<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    One of the main features of a DAM software is precisely that of\u00a0standardizing fragmented processes in a defined workflow<\/strong>\u00a0in order to\u00a0guarantee content control<\/a>, favoring collaboration between teams and involving only interested users.<\/p>\n

    <\/span>Digital Asset Management to increase collaboration between company departments<\/span><\/h2>\n

    The workflow we have just illustrated is very simple and fits in different contexts. Where necessary, it is possible to use additional tools to\u00a0increase collaboration<\/strong>\u00a0between the different teams in the company through Digital Asset Management.<\/p>\n

    For the\u00a0shared management of the digital asset<\/a>, a DAM platform can provide, for example:<\/p>\n
