The solution
After an involved search, A+E Networks chose Orange DAM. “We looked at several solutions, and Orange DAM was the one that was all-encompassing. We could ingest video, share video, and photography and the talent approval capability was there,” Kelli said.
Currently, the digital asset management system has rolled out to the Photography Team and is starting to reach other teams in the organization. The photo team at A+E Networks shared a few of the ways Orange DAM platform is helping them reach their goals:
Talent approvals combined with asset management
The team shared that work has become much easier with both asset management and talent approvals on the same site. Metadata can be uploaded along with assets from the start of an asset’s life cycle, and since both asset management and approvals happen in the same place, the asset is attached to its metadata throughout approvals, editing, and distribution.
Easy-to-use interface
Kris shared, “We've done a lot of work upfront with Orange DAM to optimize how it works.” They added that Orange Approvals has some advantages over their previous system. “There are a lot of things like that that either didn't exist with our [previous talent approval system] or that are things we wished could have been resolved or optimized that we've been able to do with Orange DAM.”
Partnership with Orange Logic
The Photography Team has worked closely with Orange Logic to customize both the digital asset management and talent approvals workflows set up. “We've had a lot of help from our implementation specialist and her team,” Kris said.

The results
Though they’re still in the early stages of opening up the DAM to teams at A+E Networks, the DAM platform has already resulted in improvements to the Photography Department’s workflows.
With Orange DAM, A+E Networks has been able to eliminate several systems, including their old talent approval system, for considerable savings.
The approval system is easier to use, with a clean, modern interface that lets agents and other representatives securely review assets. At the same time, the DAM platform connects files with their metadata throughout their lifecycle, ensuring continuity of information.
