This is how we can support you in the DAM system implementation

1. Scoping Workshop

Define requirements
and project goals

At the beginning of the project, a 1 to 2-day workshop covers topics such as system demonstrations for all stakeholders and key users, analysis of the current process situation at the client, as well as the integration of TESSA into the existing system landscape. In addition, specific customer requirements for the Digital Asset Management System are discussed.

The workshop establishes the foundations for a successful project implementation.

2. initial Mediaimport

We bring all digital media on board

In the second step of onboarding, all your existing company assets are imported into the DAM. We utilize diverse sources such as existing servers, FTP/SFTP directories, e-commerce systems, CMS, Akeneo PIM, as well as physical storage media like hard drives and SSDs.

At the same time, we begin the categorization of media in the DAM together with you.

3. Product associations (optional)

Linking digital media with product data

If you intend to integrate TESSA DAM with Akeneo or another PIM system, in this optional phase of onboarding, we focus on linking all digital assets in TESSA with the desired products in the PIM system.

Additionally, there is the opportunity to collaboratively define a set of rules to enable automated mapping of TESSA assets to Akeneo products.

4. DAM-Rollen definieren

Roles and Rights
in DAM

We develop a customized rights and roles concept for users in the DAM system for your organization. Our consulting includes a detailed definition of functionalities for each role, ranging from administrator to editor, photographer, and sales role.

We ensure that each user sees only the content intended for them.

5. Designing the media portals

We bring your brand into the media portal

Together with you, we design your media distribution portal in a 1 to 2-day process. We integrate the corporate identity of your brand into the portal. There is also the option to set up multiple brands as templates in TESSA to allow versatile use and customization.

If TESSA BrandHub is being used, we will also configure the settings here.

6. TESSA-Trainings

Training for Key Users in the DAM System

Our experts in Digital Asset Management provide comprehensive training sessions of up to 8 hours for a designated user group. Whether remote or on-site, we specifically prepare power users and administrators to efficiently use TESSA from the first day after the go-live.

7. Support during Go-Live

We stand by your side during the go-live

In the final step of the onboarding project, the most exciting phase is approaching – the go-live of the DAM system. After determining a suitable date, we prepare everything together with you for this significant step. Our experts are well-versed in the necessary measures and are available to you at any time on the day of the go-live.

If any issues arise in your organization, we are immediately available to provide prompt assistance.

Additionally, we continue to offer support as needed after the implementation of the DAM system.
