Abstract
A method and computer-readable medium are provided for jointly managing digital assets and non-digital assets. According to the method, a database is maintained that includes one or more digital assets and records corresponding to one or more non-digital assets. A request may be received to perform an action on an asset identified in the database. In response to the request, a determination is made as to whether the request is to perform an action on a digital or non-digital asset. If the request is to perform an action on a digital asset, a first workflow is performed for completing the action on the digital asset. If the request is to perform an action on a non-digital asset, a second workflow is performed for completing the requested action on the non-digital asset.
