Discovery & Strategy for a Future-Ready DAM
We begin by understanding your creative operations, technology environment, and governance needs. This ensures your DAM is designed to support how your teams work today and to scale for your future aspirations.
Our Discovery & Requirements process covers everything from metadata and taxonomy design, search facets, and security/access controls to renditions, transformations, and version retention. We also evaluate portals, workflows, and business processes, design for integrations, conduct asset inventory and audits, and establish governance frameworks tailored to your organization.
DAM Implementation & System Optimization
Our development team handles every technical aspect of DAM implementation, ensuring seamless configuration and integration with your existing tools. We specialize in unifying scattered systems and designing intuitive experiences for end users.
Implementation services include core configuration, UI customizations, and asset ingestion from dozens of legacy systems. We also develop custom workflows and approval processes, enable automated asset transformations and dynamic templating, and provide tailored reporting and analytics. Our integrations span BI, BPM, CMS, CRM, ERP, ecommerce, PIM, studio management platforms, and more.
Change Management & User Enablement
The number one reason for DAM failure is insufficient training, change management, and enablement.
Northern starts the enablement process with robust user acceptance testing that goes beyond validating documented requirements and forces client teams to perform key business processes end-to-end prior to launch. This approach often uncovers unanticipated friction points and undocumented requirements that can be resolved prior to launch, guaranteeing user satisfaction from the start.
Detailed end-user and administrator training is part of every engagement, including live exercises and step-by-step guides for all common system functions.
