Ignite

Launch your new DAM system – the right way.

70% of enterprise technology initiatives fail. Don’t let your DAM implementation become a statistic. Ignite is a comprehensive service that ensures your new DAM system is optimized for success from day one.

Our team considered several potential vendors for our DAM initiative. While the proposals were relatively equal in scope and budget, it was clear that AVP was the obvious choice for a partner. AVP has not disappointed – they have been a true collaborative partner and an absolute pleasure to work with. I truly can’t recommend AVP highly enough.

You’ve invested in a DAM system. Now you need to get it right.

Implementing enterprise technology is hard. If you’ve never set up a DAM system before, you may not realize the common pitfalls involved that can lead to:

  • Severely delayed implementation and launch timelines
  • Poor user adoption and even outright rejection of the system
  • Inability to scale and integrate the system
  • Wasted investment
  • Loss of trust

Don’t risk figuring it out as you go.

We know how to avoid common pitfalls and set you on a path to success.

There is a lot that goes into launching your new system. You’ll need to develop:

  • A realistic scope for the initial launch phase
  • Ready-to-migrate assets and metadata
  • Interfaces that align with business and user needs
  • A change management plan
  • Training, onboarding, and support for users

That’s our expertise. While your DAM vendor sets the stage with robust technology, we ensure it’s optimized and effectively integrated into your business.

AVP had a defined process and helped us through making sense out of ‘chaos’ – and providing transparency and a roadmap through entire process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Doesn’t my DAM vendor offer these services?

Great question!

Nearly all DAM vendors offer professional services during the implementation stage. These are often technical in nature: infrastructure set up, configurations, integrations, migration. And they will typically provide training for system admins.

However, most don’t offer in-depth services to design the foundational aspects that will set the platform up for success at your organization. Things like metadata, taxonomy, user groups and permissions, navigation, and workflow design.

They also don’t typically offer custom support for go-live aspects including strategy, launch planning, change management, and user onboarding and training.

That’s our expertise. Your DAM vendor provides a great platform, the technical expertise to ensure it performs, and a roadmap that provides you with the latest technology innovations. We provide the bridge between the platform and your organization.

Does it matter which DAM we get?

No, many of our services are agnostic to the specific DAM system. However, we have been trained in, and have extensive experience with many of the leading platforms.

Can I buy these modules individually?

Yes, we offer Ignite modules individually. Reach out and let us know what you’re interested in.

When is the right time to reach out to AVP?

In an ideal scenario, AVP is engaged before the DAM is actually procured. However, we frequently work with organizations after they have contracted with their DAM vendor. Reach out and we’ll figure out how best to plug in to your journey regardless of where you are.

Why do I need AVP?

AVP implements DAM solutions for organizations all day every day. It’s THE thing we do and we do it better than anyone else. Getting a DAM implementation wrong can be very costly, both financially and otherwise. The financial repercussions of a failed implementation can far exceed the cost of the DAM itself. Additionally, non-financial costs can include loss of trust, damaged morale, career setbacks, and reduced chances of future success. With our extensive experience and expertise, AVP ensures that your implementation is done right the first time.

We have a DAM that was already implemented and isn’t working well. Can AVP help?

Absolutely. In addition to the DAM implementation services detailed above, we offer DAM optimization services. Whether your DAM needs a full on rescue or you want AVP’s help as part of your ongoing tweaking to get every last ounce of value you can out of your DAM we can help. Reach out and let us know what you’re looking for.
