Go Beyond DAM’s Initial Roots

A DAM platform is a specialized type of database manager that stores images, videos, documents and other digital asset files. A DAM also stores metadata, which includes descriptors and metrics associated with each asset.

Early DAM apps were built to enable users to view, search and manage digital images in their marketing efforts. The front-end user interface and the back-end database of the applications were indistinguishable. Modern DAM vendors remain loyal to their roots as they stress marketing and brand management in their positioning, but there is a lot more to DAM technology.

Move Your DAM to a Higher Level

Over the years, DAM vendors have added support for many different types of digital assets and metadata as well as programmatic interfaces (APIs) that enable developers to create applications that access and manage assets and metadata.

Torino uses these APIs to connect the Torino application platform to various DAMs. The platform includes modular building blocks that we use to build DAM applications for our customers that go far beyond the marketing roots of the DAM market. Over the years, we’ve built a wide variety of DAM apps for our customers.
