A Digital Asset Management (DAM) system can help organizations overcome various challenges related to managing digital assets. These challenges may include difficulties in finding specific files, using outdated assets, licensing and copyright issues, and sharing large files with external contacts.

To configure the system to check file integrity, users need to have full file checksums configured, the ResourceSpace cron script configured to run frequently as a cron task or scheduled task, and the file integrity verify window enabled to set the hours between which the script will run.
