How are Digital Asset Management Platforms Different from Sharepoint

1. Purpose: SharePoint is a collaboration and document management platform, while digital asset management platforms are specifically designed for the management, organization, and distribution of digital assets such as images, videos, and audio files.
2. Functionality: SharePoint provides basic file management, version control, and collaboration features, while digital asset management platforms provide advanced functionality such as metadata management, automatic metadata extraction, and analytics and reporting.
3. File format support: SharePoint can handle a wide variety of file formats, but digital asset management platforms are specifically designed to handle rich media formats such as images, videos, and audio files.
4. Access control: SharePoint provides basic access control features such as permissions and user groups, while digital asset management platforms provide more advanced access control features such as metadata-based access control, and the ability to set fine-grained permissions on individual assets.
5. Scalability: SharePoint is typically used for intranet and document management within a company, while digital asset management platforms are designed to handle large amounts of digital assets and can be used to manage and distribute assets across an entire organization or even externally.

In summary, SharePoint is a collaboration and document management platform that provides basic file management and version control, while digital asset management platforms like HIVO are designed specifically to handle rich media formats and provide advanced functionality such as metadata management, and access control, scalability and integration with other systems.
