“Production” Asset Management offers Producers, Editors, Designers, and Web Developers the ability to access a central database of pre-approved digital assets (logos, photos, film, video, text, audio, animation) as part of the creative process. In addition, “Production” Asset Management allows you and your team to work on the same project in real-time — regardless of where everyone is located.
