Do you want to streamline the management of your digital assets while standardizing and automating your marketing processes? Then you’ll be very interested in collaborative Digital Asset Management.

But, among all the solutions on the market, which one best meets your expectations and needs? Should you opt for software installed on your servers or a SaaS Digital Asset Management solution?

Before making a decision, take a moment to evaluate the benefits of SaaS to ensure you get the most out of your digital content.

First of all, what are we talking about?

SaaS— Software as a Service —contrasts with the traditional model of software as a product. SaaS software is accessible remotely and hosted by the provider rather than by the company. You therefore pay a usage fee in the form of a subscription. For Digital Asset Management solutions, the subscription cost generally varies based on the number of users and the storage capacity required to host your data.

Given the volume of data to be processed and the need to scale the service, the SaaS model is therefore perfectly suited to DAM.

Yes, but what does that mean in practice?

You are freed from hosting and maintenance

Updates to the solution are provided by the service provider on a schedule defined in advance. You are completely relieved of technical issues. Everything is transparent for your organization. Updates are scheduled during time slots that do not disrupt your operations.

You will no longer waste internal time managing the maintenance of your Digital Asset Management solution.

Your costs are clearly identified and controlled

By operating on an all-inclusive subscription model, you are now protected from unpleasant surprises and the risk of cost overruns.

Generally speaking, this includes:
- access rights to the platform (license)
- maintenance and technical support
- access to new features
- the latest updates

The SaaS subscription therefore includes all services and offers complete visibility into medium- and long-term costs.

You benefit from greater scalability

New features are regularly added to SaaS solutions. All users benefit from them automatically. For example, the Keepeek DAM offers monthly improvements, fixes, and/or new modules that benefit the entire community.

Storage capacity adapts to your needs

More flexible, SaaS Digital Asset Management solutions adapt better to your needs and the evolution of your business. Do you need more storage space for your digital assets? Do you want to add new users? With a SaaS platform, all you need to do is upgrade to the next plan.

You gain greater freedom

All you need is a browser and an internet connection to access a SaaS solution. They even adapt to mobile use. A SaaS platform is fully responsive.

As a result, you can access your data wherever you are and at any time. A SaaS Digital Asset Management solution is perfectly suited for users working remotely. It’s also very convenient when you need to consult a document during an off-site meeting.

Your data is better protected

With a SaaS solution, the provider is responsible for hosting and, therefore, for the security of your data. This is a top priority for them. They even have a dedicated team consisting of experts for whom this is their core business.

The servers hosting Keepeek's DAM data are located in France.
