Hi Jeanne,
At the MFA, Boston, we have never felt the need for a DAM system.
We catalogue all of our media files (digital and analogue) in the TMS
Media Module. To date this includes:
* 455,156 media files;
* of these, 70,373 are for conservation documentation
* and 21,121 are what we term "curatorial snapshots," used for
reference only
Every media file is linked to a record in one of the modules or
sub-modules (like conservation).
Gallery Systems is looking into developing a DAM that will work
specifically with TMS.

Subject: TMS and DAMS
Hello all,
Once again I'm wondering about media and TMS! At this point in time,
we're looking into acquiring a DAMs, and I was hoping some of you may be
able to answer the following questions:
1. What DAMs do you use?
2. Why did you choose it?
3. When did you make this decision?
4. How was the integration with TMS (in other words, how much work
did your IT department have to do to get it running)?
5. If you could go back and change anything, what would you do?
If this is too off topic, please feel free to respond off list. I've
posted over here because our main concern is having our DAMs work well
with the database, and you all have been a wonderful resource thus far.
I promise too that one day I'll stop asking media related questions!
Thank you!!!
-Jeanne
