• Reduces manual file transfers and version confusion
• Creates a clear intake process for creative submissions
• Supports faster review and approval cycles for campaigns

2. Approved brand assets distributed to business users through OneDrive

Once assets are approved in Adobe Experience Manager Assets, selected renditions or campaign packs can be published to OneDrive for easy access by sales, regional marketing, and field teams who primarily work in Microsoft 365. This gives business users a familiar place to retrieve current collateral without accessing the full DAM.

• Improves self-service access for non-creative teams
• Ensures teams use the latest approved materials
• Reduces requests to marketing operations for file delivery

3. Centralized document collaboration before asset finalization

• Keeps final approved documents under DAM governance
• Improves alignment between content creation and asset management

4. External agency file exchange with controlled asset governance

This creates a structured workflow for external production teams.
