The Akamai Connector for Digital Asset Management (DAM) is a specialized bridge between Aprimo’s asset repository and Akamai’s global content delivery network (CDN). This integration automates the distribution of digital assets to Akamai’s edge servers, ensuring high-speed access for global audiences. Organizations benefit from reduced latency and centralized data-driven insights into how their brand content performs across different regions.
What it Does
The Akamai Connector for Digital Asset Management (DAM) bridges the gap between your central content repository and global delivery infrastructure. By integrating Aprimo DAM with Akamai’s Content Delivery Network (CDN), organizations ensure that high-fidelity assets are delivered with low latency to end-users regardless of their geographic location. This integration eliminates the manual effort of moving assets between systems, ensuring that the latest approved versions are always available for high-performance web and mobile experiences. Additionally, the connector provides a feedback loop for performance data, allowing marketing teams to see how their content is performing in the wild.
How It Works
The integration functions through a direct API connection between Aprimo and Akamai. Once users authenticate their Akamai credentials in Aprimo, they define specific synchronization rules for assets or folders. Assets designated for delivery are automatically cached on Akamai’s global edge servers. When an asset is requested via a public URL, Akamai intercepts the request and serves the file from the geographically nearest server node, while simultaneously capturing delivery data and performance metrics for reporting back within the platform.
