Managing digital assets like these require that the librarian have significant technical understanding.  It is a plus for digital librarians to come with some experience as either a developer or DevOps engineer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In <a href=\"https:\/\/sdtimes.com\/softwaredev\/analyst-watch-the-birth-of-the-enterprise-digital-librarian\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/sdtimes.com\/softwaredev\/analyst-watch-the-birth-of-the-enterprise-digital-librarian\/\">an article for SDTimes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idc.com\/getdoc.jsp?containerId=PRF004946\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.idc.com\/getdoc.jsp?containerId=PRF004946\">Dr. Arnal Dayaratna<\/a>, research director at IDC, lists some of the tasks that enterprise digital librarians might be involved with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>enable easy search and retrieval of assets<\/li><li>document the origin, lifecycle and evolution of assets<\/li><li>track asset and associated security breaches and vulnerabilities<\/li><li>ensure that digital assets are part of business continuity planning<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dayaratna said that &#8220;while code is stored in repositories, the surrounding universe of data stores that populate applications, APIs, testing results and production-grade implementations of applications across multiple platforms are not. The entirety of these artifacts are essential to documenting the digital history of enterprises and their management is invaluable both to innovation as well as to legal considerations about the intellectual property of a digital solution.  As digital transformation initiatives intensify, the need for full-time resources to manage digital assets will intensify and become a core component of the developer workforce in all enterprises.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div class=\"lightsocial_element\"><a class=\"lightsocial_a\"
