I am trying to reorganize our creative assets in the company. And I have been looking into DAMS to use with Adobe Drive 3.
What do you typically do? How does your company organize creative assets.
Main goal is to be able to quickly find something even if you are new to the system. Obviously I want to have the ability to check files in and out as well.

We've nailed our organization process by appointing people from the trenches of each department that use the server ALL day. here's a screen shot and some info. It takes a village, and one village idiot can fuck it up -- everyone needs to transition together.
1) Client Name
2) Department (organized per department)
3) _assets (all currently usable assets and an archive of old stuff)
20__ Projects4) All jobs start with Project number 0000_short description
5) Things that are constantly changing get their own folder with no job#'s
6) This folder contains updated PSDs and archives of the old ones. as well as folders for sliced JPGs/GIFs, FLA, SWF etc.
- It tooks us about 8 months to get every existing client organized into this format, the new ones are easy to implement.tasty
