Question 1

How do you calculate ROI on a DAM platform?

Accepted Answer

DAM ROI is estimated across four levers: search time recovered (people × hours searching × reduction × 48 weeks × loaded rate), asset recreation eliminated (new assets × duplication rate × production cost × 70% recovery), approval-cycle compression (cycles × hours saved × rate), and tool consolidation (point tools replaced). Gross benefit minus annual platform cost gives net benefit and payback period.

Question 2

What is a typical ROI for digital asset management?

Accepted Answer

Using conservative industry defaults, a 25-person media team commonly sees net annual benefit in the low-to-mid six figures with payback under three months. Even halving every benefit assumption typically still returns well over 100% ROI, because search-time recovery alone tends to exceed platform cost.

Question 3

Is the ioMoVo ROI calculator free and private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The calculator runs entirely in your browser, requires no email or sign-up, and sends no data anywhere. Every input is a conservative industry default until you change it.
