Instead of shoeboxes of photos, many businesses employ specialized software to manage their images.
These Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems can make life a bit easier than flipping through prints spread out on a table — especially since many businesses have thousands, if not millions, of media assets stored as digital files, somewhere.

Besides photo files, digital assets can include audio/music files, video clips, graphic files, or presentation files.
