Has anyone enabled the link between Artesia digital asset management (DAM) tools and MDM? We keep all our product images in Artesia (tool is called TEAMS) and would like to point our MDM-based product info repository to Artesia so that we don't need to import images directly into MDM.
Also, we use Documentum for management of our product literature. Does anyone have experience integrating MDM and Documentum?
Thanks.

Hi Michael,
I have come across the similar case once but not using DAM.
First let me understand your requirements clearly.
You dont want to import images to MDM repository. Instead you want to point the product data stored in MDM to its corresponding image stored in DAM.
This is simple if your environment is applicable to any my assumptions mentioned below.
My assumption 1:
You have implemented DAM tool for managing images newly and no application or data base linked with DAM.
My suggestion 1:
Artesia should be storing images in a database with a field for "image id" right? In that case we can add a new field for "Product id" in the DAM database (if not exists) and map the image in the DAM with the Product data using "Product id" field from source data (DAM) and "Product id" field in MDM. Syndicate MDM with DAM database. So that when ever you add a new product data, a new product id will be added in your DAM database.
My assumption 2:
You have already inplemented DAM tools and developed application (Say .Net) for managing the product data. Now you are planning to move the product imformation to MDM and view the product detail in the portal (Say SAP EP) iview.
My Suggestion 2:
If you are planning to view the product data and images in the portal, we can develop coustom iview which retrieves product data from MDM and image data from DAM.
Same case appicable to Documentum management.
Let me know in detail if have some other scnarios.
Thanks,
Prabhu
