2 You should be getting more from your investment So wouldn t it be great if you could combine these two solutions into a single integrated platform that increases return on investment by unlocking new and even greater benefits? If you re already using ADAM and/or Sitecore, or thinking about adopting these solutions, you can expect all the benefits of two of the most flexible Digital Asset Management (DAM) and customer experience management (CXM) platforms available. ADAM Software develops intelligent software for marketing/media creation, management and distribution, and is pioneering the next generation of enterprise class DAM Software. ADAM s highly flexible and scalable platform solves your business problems, and brings an intelligent, intuitive and organised approach to media and marketing workflows, including extensive media management, Product Content Management (PCM), global brand management, enterprise marketing collateral localisation, omni-channel catalogue publishing and corporate video management. Sitecore is ideal if you want to deliver relevant brand experiences and have thoughtful, personalised customer interactions. The platform integrates marketing automation to manage the frequency and personalisation of interactions over any channel at any time, native capabilities helping individual customers along the buying process, web content management delivering unique customer experiences, and social media integration to further personalise your conversations. Keeps the look and feel expected by ADAM and Sitecore users for both internal and external users Allows users to browse ADAM assets from within Sitecore, delivering a great user experience Gives you deep management of all digital, image and video content, from a single integrated source Offers complete control over digital rights management and versioning ADAM + Sitecore Connector is the result of collaboration between HintTech, ADAM Software and Sitecore. It transforms your users experience of ADAM and Sitecore, by bridging the divide between these (typically) standalone solutions, and letting users view and manipulate the assets being managed by both solutions from within the comfort zone of their existing environments. As a CONNECTED enterprise solution, ADAM + Sitecore Connector effectively integrates DAM and CXM to deliver measurable bottom line value. Helps you listen to your audiences content choices and deliver more of what they like... how they like it Facilitates high ROI from use and re-use of content in your business

3 How the CONNECTED environment works Without ADAM + Sitecore Connector With ADAM + Sitecore Connector Your users experiences of ADAM and Sitecore will typically look something like this. Your ADAM solution will have a web-ready taxonomy set which Branding will use for assets that are fit for purpose, including all the metadata specifying where each asset can be used, and a workflow enabling these assets to be shared with Sitecore users. To obtain an asset, a user in Marketing (and/or an external agency) will go to ADAM, identify what they want, download it onto their local drive and import it into Sitecore. But because the two ends of this process (asset rights management in ADAM and asset usage in Sitecore) don t have a common set of controls, this can have serious implications for your business. DAM ADAM Manual workflow Local asset silos Rights blind spots User-defined processes CXM Sitecore By comparison, in a CONNECTED environment, ADAM and Sitecore users have visibility into the assets being held and managed in each other s solutions including free and controlled flows of content and information between the two, and common views of rights management and asset usage. As well as giving your business control over the entire rights and asset management and web publishing processes, this has specific benefits for your ADAM and Sitecore users. Your ADAM users will benefit from: Enhanced distribution and workflow Insight and visibility into all content use Updates to centrally held assets are automatically notified and published to Sitecore Versioning and timed-out/duplicate assets are easily flagged Access to analytics on what works and what doesn t Your Sitecore users will benefit from: With no direct link between the two systems, internal and/or external users can be forced to create workaround processes to bridge the divide. These often depend heavily on manual intervention; are inconsistent, ineffective, and crucially, can limit the value you receive from your intellectual property (IP). Just some of the visible (and not so visible) results of this include staging drives, additional protocols, language and asset silos, third party copies, unsecured transfer processes, and rights blind-spots over which you have little or no control. Improved workflow and efficiency Deep digital asset and video management capabilities Advanced search of all assets and metadata held in ADAM Bullet-proof management of IP rights across all sites All assets are centrally managed and visible from within Sitecore
