But with so many options in the market, how do you find, test, and implement the right tools and services for your needs? Born from our research and development efforts, AVP has developed a comprehensive approach to helping organizations answer that question and successfully achieve their AI implementation goals.

    AVP strives to connect people with data, taking a human-centered, pragmatic, and real-world approach to AI DAM tools to help create meaningful metadata and enhanced search and discovery of assets.

    The Power of AI for DAM

    How can DAM AI be leveraged? Some applications include:

    • Generating new metadata for existing collections, making it easier to locate and repurpose existing assets
    • Automating tasks like content type and dead-air detection in media files to make them easier to navigate and use
    • Enhancing discovery and navigation of assets in the digital asset management system
    • Removing personally identifiable information from digital assets to eliminate the risk of exposure
    • Detecting copyrighted content to maintain legal compliance

    DAM AI for digital asset management can create greater efficiencies and possibilities if done thoughtfully and correctly. AVP’s approach to technology evaluation and selection ensures your organization implements the right tools for the job. 

    Human-Centered Design for DAM AI

    AVP approaches human-centered design as a problem-solving process grounded in empathy and iteration. This focus on empathy helps us create solutions that solve pain points, improve performance, and create real value and impact for system users. The results lead to an organization’s fulfillment of goals, objectives, and mission. 

    Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test

    We follow a four-step process to ensure AVP’s solution reflects your needs:

    • Empathize: Identify user needs, motivations, and technical constraints.
    • Define: Document testable problem statements and define success.
    • Ideate: Brainstorm possible solutions and weigh the benefits and risks of DAM AI for the users.
    • Prototype: Develop ground truth data and run them through candidate solutions.
    • Test: Measure the results of testing against set evaluation criteria.

    When combined with AVP’s activation services, the application of DAM AI can transform your digital asset management program for all key stakeholders.
