For many businesses that use Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Assets, one of the biggest struggles they face is managing workflows pertaining to the creation, use, storage, and dissemination of their digital assets. This can stem from a number of reasons, ranging from siloed teams to differing workflow methodologies, but they typically result in inconsistent practices that muddy the waters when trying to find and utilize digital assets.
The overarching strategy to address these problems is to agree on a single source of truth for inputting metadata and storing assets. This will allow your organization to standardize workflows to make the content more searchable and accessible to your internal teams regardless of what platform they’re in, making it more functional and efficient for your business as a whole. This is why many businesses that already use AEM Assets are turning to
Workfront to manage the workflows related to their digital assets.
Businesses who are experienced in using AEM Assets, but are new to Workfront can often be daunted by the prospect of developing, launching, and maintaining a new asset management system tied to work management. Hoodoo Digital built the original connector between Workfront and AEM, and when Adobe acquired Workfront, they built upon the functionality of the original connector. It is now called the
Workfront for Experience Manager enhanced connector, and it shares assets and their metadata between Workfront and AEM to simplify asset creation and management. We have helped many businesses navigate this integration, and we have found that there are three plug-ins you should take into consideration that will help make your integration more successful.
By integrating Workfront and AEM Assets, you can not only make your team more efficient in delivering assets, but you can create standardized processes for people throughout your company to more effectively create, find, and distribute your digital assets. However, using these three plug-ins effectively as part of your integration can help optimize efficiencies and ensure that you’re getting the most bang for your buck.
