DAM platforms with marketing resource management (MRM)

Compare DAM platforms that add marketing resource management: planning, budgets, workflows and content operations in one suite.

In short

MRM-oriented DAM suites add campaign planning, budgets, briefs and work management on top of asset management. They suit large marketing organisations that want one platform for the content supply chain from plan to publish. The breadth comes with longer implementations, so phase the roll-out and start with the DAM core.

How to evaluate dam with marketing resource management

  1. Planning, budgeting and briefing linked to the assets they produce.
  2. Workflow engine that covers legal, regulatory and brand approvals.
  3. Reporting on content production volume, cost and cycle time.
  4. Modular licensing so you only pay for the modules you deploy.
