Is anyone using TMS yet to track the location of works that exist as digital files (i.e., computer or video artworks delivered by an artist as files?) At the moment, we have a few works that were delivered on various forms of hard drive, and as long as they reside there, it’s not difficult to track them, in theory. When works are moved onto other drives, servers, etc., that are not dedicated—that’s what I’m starting to think about. Any suggestions are welcome.

Best,
