Giving a Dam

Unlike conventional DAM systems, Ryan explains, the Content Manager combines three solutions in one: workflow management, content management, and the Prinect Printready System Archiver for shared central management of archived data.

The Content Manager will permit users to manage any data format by key word and context, coordinate data easily and access it faster. "All parties can access all data at any time, anywhere," Ryan says. "All external users need is Internet access and a Web browser." He adds that the Content Manager database will include a "Job Watcher" function that 'sees' all parts of the job and monitors privilege, permissions and access accordingly.
