Effectively managing digital assets is crucial for delivering engaging and consistent brand experiences across various online platforms. Dynamic Media with OpenAPI capabilities enhances digital asset management by enabling seamless integration between AEM Sites and AEM Assets as a Cloud Service. This innovative feature allows you to easily share and manage different types of approved digital assets across multiple AEM environments, streamlining workflows for sites authors and content editors.

Dynamic Media with OpenAPI capabilities allows sites authors to use assets from remote DAM directly within the AEM Page Editor and Content Fragment, simplifying content creation and management processes.

Users can connect multiple AEM Sites instances, without any restrictions on the maximum number, to a remote DAM deployment, a notable advantage over the Connected Assets feature.

Dynamic Media with OpenAPI capabilities offers several other benefits such as accessing and using remote assets in Content Fragment, fetching metadata of the remote assets and much more. Know more about the other benefits of Dynamic Media with OpenAPI capabilities over Connected Assets.
