1. Master asset management in OpenText Core DAM with delivery optimization in Scaleflex

Direction: OpenText Core Digital Asset Management to Scaleflex

Marketing and content teams can store approved master images, videos, and brand files in OpenText Core DAM, then automatically publish selected assets to Scaleflex for optimization, transformation, and fast global delivery. This supports a clean separation between asset governance and content delivery.

• OpenText Core DAM remains the system of record for approved brand assets
• Scaleflex generates resized, compressed, and format-optimized renditions for web and app use

Business value: Faster page load times, reduced manual media handling, and stronger brand control across digital channels.

2. Automated publishing of newly approved assets to digital channels

Direction: OpenText Core Digital Asset Management to Scaleflex

When a campaign image, product photo, or video is approved in OpenText Core DAM, the integration can automatically push it to Scaleflex for immediate use on websites, landing pages, and mobile applications. This reduces delays between creative approval and live publication.

• Triggers can be based on approval status, metadata tags, or folder location
• Scaleflex can apply channel-specific transformations for different devices and layouts
• Publishing teams avoid repetitive upload and reformatting tasks

Business value: Shorter campaign launch cycles and fewer operational handoffs between creative and digital teams.

3. Bi-directional metadata synchronization for asset governance and delivery

Direction: Bi-directional

Asset metadata such as product codes, campaign names, usage rights, expiration dates, and language variants can be synchronized between OpenText Core DAM and Scaleflex. This ensures that delivery assets remain aligned with governance rules and that downstream teams always work with current asset context.

• OpenText Core DAM maintains authoritative metadata and compliance information
• Scaleflex receives the metadata needed for search, filtering, and delivery logic
• Usage rights or expiration updates can be reflected across both systems

Business value: Better asset traceability, lower compliance risk, and improved searchability for digital teams.

4. Product content syndication for eCommerce and retail channels

Retail and eCommerce organizations can manage product imagery, lifestyle photography, and rich media in OpenText Core DAM, then syndicate approved assets to Scaleflex for high-performance delivery on product detail pages, category pages, and marketplace listings.

• Product teams can attach assets to SKUs or product families in OpenText Core DAM
• Scaleflex can generate channel-specific renditions for thumbnails, zoom views, and responsive layouts
• Updates to product visuals can be propagated without manual rework

Business value: Improved product page performance, consistent product presentation, and faster merchandising updates.

5. Campaign asset distribution across regions and brands

Direction: OpenText Core Digital Asset Management to Scaleflex

Global enterprises often need to distribute localized campaign assets across multiple regions, brands, and business units.

Business value: Better user experience, lower media delivery costs, and reduced technical workload for content operations.

7. Asset lifecycle management with archival and delivery separation

Direction: Bi-directional

OpenText Core DAM can manage the full lifecycle of assets, including approval, retention, and archival, while Scaleflex serves only active delivery assets. When an asset is retired or replaced in OpenText Core DAM, the integration can remove or deactivate the corresponding delivery version in Scaleflex.

• Expired or obsolete assets can be removed from public delivery automatically
• Replacement assets can be published without breaking content references
• Governance teams maintain control over asset retention policies

Business value: Reduced risk of outdated content being published and cleaner asset lifecycle governance.

8. Self-service content operations for marketing and web teams

• Users can select approved assets from governed DAM collections
• Scaleflex automatically prepares the asset for the target channel
• Teams can update web content faster without compromising control

Business value: Higher team productivity, fewer bottlenecks, and faster content updates across digital properties.
