For example, a product shot may require a different background colour depending on whether it is intended for a marketplace or proprietary e-commerce<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>the conditions of fruition of individual users<\/strong>, who access digital touchpoints with different devices, browsers and connection speeds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1290\" height=\"944\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thron.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Articolo-37-DAT-technology-1-1290x944.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13028\" style=\"width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thron.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Articolo-37-DAT-technology-1-1290x944.webp 1290w, https:\/\/www.thron.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Articolo-37-DAT-technology-1-650x476.webp 650w, https:\/\/www.thron.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Articolo-37-DAT-technology-1-768x562.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thron.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Articolo-37-DAT-technology-1-1536x1124.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.thron.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Articolo-37-DAT-technology-1-350x256.webp 350w, https:\/\/www.thron.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Articolo-37-DAT-technology-1.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DAT technology: some concrete examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking a digital asset of the image type as an example, software that can rely on DAT can act dynamically on various attributes such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the <strong>format<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the <strong>background colour<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the <strong>size<\/strong>, i.e. cropping a content according to specific height, width or proportions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the <strong>focus<\/strong>, i.e. focusing the image on the product(s) it represents, eliminating excess image sections<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the <strong>quality<\/strong>. By favouring sharpness or weight as the case may be; furthermore, some platforms allow the quality of assets to be transformed on the basis of predetermined levels (high, medium, low), i.e. based on combinations of attributes configured in advanced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-5ca99053 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" autoplay loop muted src=\"https:\/\/www.thron.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/01_DAM_crop_embedcode_.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Business impacts of Dynamic Asset Transformation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The implications of Dynamic Asset Transformation for companies are significant and manifold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, it significantly improves the <strong>user experience <\/strong>because every piece of content &#8211; regardless of channel or connection &#8211; is always enjoyed in the best possible way. This leads to greater user engagement and, as a result, higher conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dynamic optimisation of digital assets also has an impact on the <strong>performance of the various touchpoints<\/strong>: one of them, for example, is the loading speed of web pages, a hot topic for Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned at the outset, Dynamic Asset Optimisation is also fundamental for <strong>optimising work processes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to DAT, in fact, one can distribute and update assets quickly on different platforms and channels, <strong>without having to waste time<\/strong> formatting by hand, exporting and finally importing <strong>multiple versions<\/strong> of a content on the various channels to suit different devices and resolutions.
