The term "digital rights management" (DRM) refers to

and maintaining intellectual property rights in the online
digital world. DRM is becoming a core capability of
digital content distribution: It applies to all media types,
including audio and video, as well as to e-books and other
post-PC Internet devices. It is also an important part of how
print and Web publishers do business with each other, through
syndication and other forms of business-to-business content
distribution.

Digital Assets Management
Wednesday, February 20th
Companies have begun to capitalize media-development costs,
putting newly recognized assets on corporate balance sheets.
Generally accepted accounting practices stipulate that a firm
must show an asset’s reuse for a period longer than 18 months
and must also document development costs and contributions to a sale or
cost savings.
Capitalization of media-related expenses
emphasizes a set of practices called digital assets management (DAM).
DAM solutions can facilitate the tasks required to manage the
capitalization of digital assets;
DAM solutions can also help a firm reduce its time to market for
brand messages and digital goods.
If you are the president or CEO of a media or publishing firm,
or if you are a VP or director of multichannel commerce, e-commerce,
publishing technologies, creative services or content management,
you should make time to attend Digital Assets Management Day.
By attending, you'll get answers to
the following questions:
- How can we use our digital assets to create new shareholder wealth?
