Abstract: When renewing digital asset management (DAM), development is not the only action to plan for. Migrating assets and metadata from shared drives or a legacy DAM to a new one is a laborious process that is sometimes not adequately planned for and can tend to be overlooked. This use case represents a practical example of migrating assets and metadata from a legacy DAM system to a new one at Ubisoft, a leading global producer, publisher and distributor of high-quality, cutting-edge video game titles. It encompasses the reasons behind Ubisoft’s choice for renewing its DAM, how the migration was planned for, accomplished and also how metadata values were enhanced during the process.
