With the
SAP Marketing Cloud 1902 release, we are excited to announce the availability of the simple content repository feature. This simple content repository feature enables you to choose and upload images from your local drive to a simple content repository.
This feature enables you (for a marketer) to upload images directly from Content Studio while designing marketing content. These images are then also available to any email recipient when they choose to open an email in their respective email clients. It is also possible to map the repository to any of the Content Delivery Network (CDN) providers like Akamai CDN for efficient marketing content delivery.
If you also have the role of marketing administrator on SAP Marketing Cloud, you can use the
Content Repository Configuration app to enable the simple content repository feature and maintain the configured CDN Domain name in the app. For more information, see:
Configure Simple Content Repository.
Generally, enterprises these days depend on CDN for efficient content delivery over the internet, whether it is general web content, higher resolution images, and promotional videos, or for a web-shop supporting business.
Before you proceed with this set-up, check with your IT Administrator, the IT landscape and get to know the CDN which may likely or already is being in use.
You can choose from a vast array of CDN providers. If you are looking at a global presence, then you could go with Akamai, MaxCDN, AWS CloudFront, Cloudflare, Edgecast, Fastly, or choose among many others.
The set-up is simple and the configuration should be complete in a day or two for both CDN provider’s console and SAP Marketing Cloud.
Here’s a list of the some of the quick help links from different CDN providers:
