At Endeavor Health, we are committed to delivering convenient access to pioneering, world-class care paired with a seamless, personal experience — every patient, every time. Motivated and inspired by our patients and the expert care provided by our team members, we take pride in sharing the stories of the impact we’re making. To do this, our teams rely on a digital asset management (DAM) platform that provides easy access to high-quality, impactful creative assets. Finding the right partner to guide us in selecting the best DAM system was essential. AVP stood out for their deep expertise in digital asset management, as well as their collaborative and holistic approach. They supported us through every stage of the selection process — from understanding our requirements to evaluating the DAM platforms available in the market. We’re grateful for AVP’s guidance, which has ensured we’re ready to implement the right solution for our health system.

You’ve decided it’s time to invest in a new DAM system. Maybe your organization is new to DAM, or perhaps you’ve outgrown your current solution.

Where do you start?

Don’t make these mistakes:

  • Buying based solely on a recommendation: Every organization’s needs are different.
  • Buying the cheapest DAM: You’ll likely get what you pay for.
  • Buying the DAM with the best UI: A good DAM system does more than just look pretty.
  • Buying based on internet reviews: DAM is a major investment and a long-term relationship, not a household appliance.

WHY SELECT?

For 18 years, we’ve guided organizations through the process of finding tailor fit, scalable solutions.

We’ve perfected a proven process based on our experience and industry best practices.

  • Identify your “differentiating” requirements and future-state workflows
  • Create a solution shortlist that aligns with your needs and industry
  • Use a solicitation method that works for you (whether its an RFP or straight to demo)
  • Use an apples-to-apples approach to compare options

We’ll make sure your DAM selection process is efficient and effective.

There are a lot of DAM systems out there. But only a few have the potential to be the perfect fit for your organization. We’ll help connect you to the right one.

TAILOR FIT

The right DAM system will grow with you, offering the features and performance you need now, while anticipating the ones you will need tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve already documented our requirements, can you skip the discovery process?

Discovery is the time where we get to know you. Our projects always include a discovery period so that our team members can learn about your organization, your users, and your assets. This step helps to ensure that we are matching you with right candidate vendors, and can effectively participate in the proposal evaluation and demo process.

We only need help with some parts of the DAM selection process, not the whole thing. Can you create a custom proposal for us?

Yes! Let us know where you need help the most, and we can create a tailored proposal for you.

How do you stay up to date on the DAM market and vendors?

We do this in a few ways:

– We hold regular demo sessions for our entire consulting team with leading and emerging vendors in the DAM space

– We actively participate in industry conferences, which we use as an opportunity to stay up to date on the current state of the market, build new vendor relationships, and strengthen our knowledge of existing products.

– Our leadership team speaks with vendors regularly to learn about their latest developments and roadmaps

If you are a DAM vendor that we haven’t met, reach out so we can get to know each other better!

Explain how your selection process is vendor-neutral. Don’t you also offer implementations of specific systems?

While we do work closely with clients to implement and scale DAM platforms, we don’t work exclusively with any specific vendors, and do not participate in any paid referral programs.
