Aarau, Switzerland – 04 December 2012 – Digital asset management (DAM) software maker Picturepark® is offering for free through the end of the year a special download edition of the popular digital asset management book, “DAM Survival Guide.” The book, first released in June of this year, offers in-depth guidance for those planning digital asset management initiatives at their organizations.
“The most important thing those new to DAM can do is educate themselves,” said Picturepark CEO, Ramon Forster. “No other resource offers such a complete overview of digital asset management planning, so we’re pleased to be able to provide this free download for members of the DAM community.”
DAM Survival Guide was written by DAM industry veteran, David Diamond, who now directs global marketing for Picturepark. Diamond is also a monthly columnist for CMSWire.com. DAM Survival Guide is the author’s second book.
“In the 14+ years I’ve been in this industry, I’ve seen too many
organizations make bad decisions about DAM,” Diamond explained about his
reason for writing the book. “DAM Survival Guide is meant to help
readers cut through the half-truths and misinformation that’s out there
so they can make better decisions about their DAM initiatives.”
The unabridged book is available in printed and Kindle editions at Amazon.com.
