Digital Asset Library in SharePoint 2010


In this article I am describing the new feature in SharePoint 2010 called Digital asset library. This is a new library added to SharePoint 2010 for keeping our digital assets like video, images, mp3 etc The New Digital Asset Management feature in SharePoint 2010 provides a special central repository to store and manage digital assets like image, audio, or video file. This enables organizations with enhanced control over the digital assets and prevents unauthorized access to its contents by effectively managing these assets.
