DAM vendors
Digital asset management vendors for product and brand content

How to evaluate DAM vendors
5 criteria- Metadata model and search. Test the metadata schema with your own taxonomy, including SKU and GTIN fields on assets. Run search tests on 500 to 1,000 of your real assets during the evaluation.
- Product content support. Check bulk linking of assets to products, rendition generation per retailer specification and a documented connector to your PIM.
- Rights and provenance. Evaluate licence expiry handling, usage restrictions by channel and territory, and support for C2PA Content Credentials on AI-generated or edited assets.
- Delivery and performance. Platforms with a built-in image CDN serve resized and converted assets on the fly. Model bandwidth and image processing costs against your traffic.
- Security and EU data residency. Confirm EU hosting regions, SSO, permission granularity and audit logs. Verify the sub-processor list for GDPR purposes.

Frequently asked questions
