A hotel and winery resembling a chateau in the French countryside surrounded by vineyards, but actually situated north of Atlanta, served as the perfect backdrop for Kodak to toast its appreciation for feedback from nearly 200 customers at its 2013 Graphic Users' Association (GUA) North American conference on April 22-26. Chris Payne, director and VP of marketing, Commercial Imaging Business, provided an overview of Kodak's growth strategy.

While continuous digital presses are a long way from the (close to) mile-a-minute of paper of the fastest offset web presses, they are closing in on the 1,000 feet-per-minute mark.

Media dissemination and consumption have gone through an immense transformation in the last decade, and InfoTrends estimates that one-third of ALL business content requires a multimedia approach today. As new channels of business communication emerge, an explosion of digital assets is creating fresh challenges for marketers, agencies, publishers, and printers alike.

Digital Asset Management (DAM) technologies offer a differentiator for printers looking to build value-added applications such as Web-to-Print, remote proofing, and multi-channel brand management.

In this Printing Impressions webinar, InfoTrends will address the explosive growth in multimedia creation and consumption, discuss strategies and recommendations for digital asset management (DAM), and introduce real-world DAM success stories from printers and agencies.

Come to this session armed with your questions about digital asset management. You'll be able to submit them directly to our panelists for a live Q&A session during the hour.
