Step 6. Vendor Selection

Once you’ve identified what you lack, what you already have, what you want and how to achieve this, you are better prepared to approach DAM vendors.
Each of the previous five steps is designed to ensure that your users are achieving the outcome they desire.
Your stakeholders are aligned, users understand their role within the DAM and you have identified exactly what you hope to achieve.
When each of the previous five steps have been closely followed you can make an informed and ultimately correct decision selecting a vendor and successfully implement DAM.
DAM is not just a software system decision, it’s about people, information, processes, systems and a whole range of requirements and considerations.
The CDC database combines gap analysis data, requirements data, technical attributes data and 10 Core Characteristics scores to calculate the best fit vendors.
10 Core scoring is a measure of proficiency which becomes a powerful comparative tool when combined with the aforementioned data; data which focuses less on how proficient a vendor is and simply on the functionality and tools they have.
Users can map out their specific requirements, denote ‘must haves’ and ‘nice to haves’, filter by technical requirements such as coding languages and deployment methods, group vendors together by price, usability and customer service proficiency and have a personalised report on our 37, 10 Core accredited vendors.
