Does This Situation Sound Familiar?
The deadline for one of your current projects is quickly approaching. You need to
illustrate some statistical data and so you want to include a pie chart you created
in times past. You know you last used this pie chart in a slide presentation you
developed for a workshop you gave last spring. The chart will be a perfect match
for your current project and you want to re-use it now. You search on your hard
drive. You look through your Web site to see if perchance you posted the chart
there. You even rummage around for an old copy of the paper handout you used
for your past workshop. You can't find your perfect pie chart. You have now
devoted more time to looking for it than you care to admit. What do you do? You
re-create the chart from scratch and insert it into your current project. You finish
your project. The deadline is met. Days pass. You suddenly stumble upon your
original pie chart, while looking for something else.
Has this ever happened to you? If you had researched and developed a Digital
Management System, chances are it wouldn't have. Find out why not. What is
DAM? What does it mean? How would you use it? What other groups use it?
