The Georgia Museum of Art (GMOA) at the University of Georgia is soliciting proposals to establish a contract with a qualified supplier to provide a Digital Asset Management System (DAMS) to address current inefficiencies in digital asset storage and management. Currently, digital assets are scattered across various platforms, including The Museum System (TMS), external organizational hard drives, personal hard drives, third-party websites, and internal servers. This fragmentation leads to inefficient workflows, lack of data redundancy, difficulty locating files, and inefficient accessibility. The goal of this solicitation is therefore to procure a DAMS that can be customized and implemented for the Georgia Museum of Art to accomplish the following goals and objectives: consolidate digital assets into a centralized DAMS, streamline workflows across departments, ensure consistency in metadata and taxonomy, enhance operational efficiency, improve user access to digital assets, ensure long-term preservation of digital assets, integrate with existing tools, particularly TMS and eMuseum, accommodate growing collections and evolving digital needs, implement strategically aligned metadata and taxonomy standards, enable sharing of assets across departments and with external collaborators.
