OpenText Content Storage Service - OpenText Core Digital Asset Management Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between OpenText Content Storage Service and OpenText Core Digital Asset Management

OpenText Content Storage Service provides secure, scalable cloud object storage for large volumes of unstructured enterprise content, while OpenText Core Digital Asset Management helps teams organize, manage, and distribute approved digital assets. Together, they can support efficient content storage, controlled asset access, and streamlined collaboration across marketing, creative, legal, and operations teams.

1. Centralized storage for approved digital assets

Data flow: OpenText Core Digital Asset Management to OpenText Content Storage Service

Final approved images, videos, brand files, and campaign assets can be automatically archived from OpenText Core Digital Asset Management into OpenText Content Storage Service as the system of record. This reduces reliance on local file shares and helps ensure long-term retention of high-value assets in a secure, compliant storage layer.

• Supports retention of master files and source assets
• Reduces storage pressure in the DAM application
• Improves resilience and disaster recovery for critical media assets

2. Retrieval of archived assets for reuse and repurposing

Data flow: OpenText Content Storage Service to OpenText Core Digital Asset Management

When teams need to reuse older campaign materials, product photography, or brand content, archived assets can be restored from OpenText Content Storage Service back into OpenText Core Digital Asset Management. This enables marketing and creative teams to quickly locate and repurpose approved content without recreating it from scratch.

• Speeds up campaign refreshes and regional adaptations
• Reduces duplicate production work
• Improves access to historical brand content

3. Lifecycle management for large media libraries

Data flow: Bi-directional

Frequently accessed assets can remain in OpenText Core Digital Asset Management, while older or less frequently used files are tiered into OpenText Content Storage Service based on policy. Metadata and references remain available in the DAM, allowing users to search and request assets without keeping every file in the active application layer.

• Optimizes storage costs for large media libraries
• Maintains user access to archived content through metadata
• Supports policy-driven retention and disposition

4. Secure storage for original source files and renditions

Data flow: OpenText Core Digital Asset Management to OpenText Content Storage Service

Original high-resolution files, raw video, and multiple renditions generated for different channels can be stored in OpenText Content Storage Service, while OpenText Core Digital Asset Management manages the searchable, approved versions used by business teams. This separation helps protect source assets and simplifies version control.

• Preserves original masters for future editing
• Supports controlled access to renditions and derivatives
• Reduces risk of accidental overwrite or loss

5. Compliance and audit support for regulated content

Data flow: Bi-directional

Organizations in regulated industries can use OpenText Content Storage Service to retain immutable or policy-controlled copies of approved assets from OpenText Core Digital Asset Management. Audit trails and retention rules help demonstrate compliance for brand, product, and legal content that must be preserved for specific periods.

• Supports legal hold and retention requirements
• Improves audit readiness for content governance
• Helps manage regulated marketing and product materials

6. Disaster recovery and business continuity for digital asset libraries

Data flow: OpenText Core Digital Asset Management to OpenText Content Storage Service

Critical digital assets can be replicated or backed up into OpenText Content Storage Service to provide a resilient recovery point if the DAM environment is disrupted. This ensures that brand assets, campaign files, and product media can be restored quickly to minimize business interruption.

• Protects against accidental deletion or corruption
• Supports recovery objectives for business-critical content
• Reduces operational risk for global content teams

7. Cross-team content handoff between creative and operations

Data flow: Bi-directional

Creative teams can publish finalized assets into OpenText Core Digital Asset Management, while operations or records teams can move completed content packages into OpenText Content Storage Service for long-term retention. This creates a clean handoff between content production and enterprise storage governance.

• Improves collaboration between creative, marketing, and records teams
• Clarifies ownership of active versus archived content
• Creates a consistent process for content completion and retention

8. Cloud migration from legacy media repositories

Data flow: Legacy repository to OpenText Content Storage Service, then to OpenText Core Digital Asset Management

During migration from on-premises file servers or legacy media repositories, bulk content can first be moved into OpenText Content Storage Service as a scalable landing zone. Selected assets can then be indexed and promoted into OpenText Core Digital Asset Management for active business use, enabling a phased and lower-risk migration approach.

• Reduces migration complexity for large content volumes
• Allows phased onboarding of business teams
• Separates archival storage from active asset management
