Abstract

Public sector companies face many of the same challenges that private sector companies do when managing digital assets. A growing dependence on electronic information as a basis for decision making, along with growing stores of data, have made managing digital assets a priority for companies, countries, and international organizations alike. Yet additional constraints and increased pressures further exacerbate these issues for government organizations. This paper explores the challenges impacting public sector organizations and profiles the use of practical DAM solutions in the US by the Bureau of Land Management and the Bonneville Power Administration.
