Digital Asset Management

The Aprimo Drupal Extension (QuickConnect) connects Drupal CMS to Aprimo Digital Asset Management (DAM) to enable content editors to browse, search, and embed approved assets into web pages. This connection helps keep web content brand-compliant and performance-optimized by using centralized approved assets.

What it Does

The Drupal Extension (QuickConnect) brings approved brand assets directly into the Drupal CMS environment. By connecting Aprimo DAM with Drupal, content creators can reduce the manual download and upload cycle. Users can browse and select assets from Aprimo, helping ensure that images and videos are current, approved, and optimized for web use.

How It Works

The extension opens a QuickConnect window that acts as a portal to Aprimo DAM. After authentication, users can browse or search the DAM and select an approved asset. Aprimo then provides a direct link or reference to populate in the Drupal field so the file is served according to Aprimo delivery settings.

Key Capabilities

  • Approved Asset Library: Access the Aprimo DAM library through a QuickConnect window in parallel to working in Drupal.
  • Performance Optimization: Deliver assets that are sized and formatted for web use to support page performance.
  • Version Control: Help ensure the website displays the most recent rights-cleared version of an asset managed in the DAM.
  • Direct Metadata Search: Use Aprimo search and filtering capabilities to locate specific content quickly.

Common Use Cases

  • Managing high-volume media updates for Drupal sites where speed to market matters.
  • Enforcing global brand standards across localized Drupal sites by restricting editors to approved Aprimo collections.
  • Simplifying rich media embedding for marketing teams managing product landing pages.

Requirements

  • Active Aprimo Digital Asset Management (DAM) subscription.
  • Active Drupal CMS environment.
  • Aprimo QuickConnect configuration enabled.
