Consolidating DAM Systems and Enabling Scalable Digital Experience for Colliers

Client Overview

Colliers is a global organization operating multiple digital platforms and brand environments, with dependencies on content management through Sitecore and distributed asset libraries.

The Challenge

Colliers was managing multiple digital asset management (DAM) systems, which created inefficiencies across their organization and digital ecosystem.

Disparate DAM environments required consolidation into a single, unified platform.

Existing systems relied on Azure Blob storage and Sitecore media libraries, creating fragmentation between platforms.

There was no fully defined integration model between their CMS, Sitecore, and DAM environment.

Metadata synchronization, taxonomy alignment, and asset structuring required significant planning and coordination.

Additionally, Colliers faced uncertainty in how to:

• Map metadata fields across systems
• Enable consistent asset usage across regions
• Build a scalable, future-proof content ecosystem

The Solution

Spinakr partnered with Colliers to lead the discovery, planning, and implementation of a centralized DAM strategy using Brandworkz, combined with deep integration into their Sitecore environment.

1. DAM Consolidation Strategy

• Guided Colliers through selecting Brandworkz as the single DAM platform
• Established a roadmap for migrating assets from multiple DAM systems into one unified repository
• Conducted discovery to define governance, content structures, and migration processes

2. Structured Asset Migration and Governance

• Led content audit and migration mapping to ensure clean asset organization
• Defined and aligned metadata and taxonomy standards prior to migration
• Provided governance documentation, training, and project coordination to manage the global rollout

3. Sitecore and Brandworkz Integration

• Designed an integration model using REST APIs to connect Brandworkz with Sitecore XM and XM Cloud
• Enabled asset synchronization between systems, including:
  • Media library connections
  • Metadata field mapping
  • Authoring experience alignment
• Supported development teams with ongoing retainer-based services for integration and troubleshooting

4. Optimization and Automation

• Configured image auto-resizing and optimization workflows within the DAM
• Established scalable processes for bulk ingestion and asset lifecycle management

The Result

Because the available enterprise data does not include quantitative outcomes such as KPIs, cost savings, or performance metrics, the results below are limited to explicitly supported outcomes.

Operational Outcomes

• Colliers successfully selected and committed to a single DAM platform, Brandworkz
• A structured roadmap was created to migrate assets from multiple systems into one unified environment
• Integration planning established a path for seamless connectivity between the DAM and Sitecore platforms

Strategic Impact

• Defined a scalable architecture for managing digital assets across global teams
• Established governance foundations for consistent metadata and taxonomy usage
• Enabled a more cohesive digital ecosystem by aligning CMS and DAM workflows
