Original Press Release:
Canto Announces Release of Internet Client Pro 2.0.1 and Web Publisher Pro 2.0.1
The customizable Cumulus Options enable Digital Asset Management over Intranet and Internet
April 5, 2005 - San Francisco, Berlin. Canto, the global leader in Digital Asset Management (DAM) solutions, today announced the immediate availability of Internet Client Pro 2.0.1 and Web Publisher Pro 2.0.1. Designed for users who do not merely publish their assets but also intend to use them for marketing and generating business, these options are compatible with Cumulus 6.5. Internet Client Pro 2.0.1 is a component of the Cumulus Business Server Solution and Cumulus Enterprise. Web Publisher Pro 2.0.1 is a component of the Cumulus Publishing Server Solution.
Internet Client Pro 2.0.1 and Web Publisher Pro 2.0.1 enable users to publish their media on dynamic web pages allowing remote teams and customers around the world to comfortably search for images and other documents within Cumulus catalogs using standard Web browsers. Compatibility with all Web browsers is ensured as the category tree is realized by a Java implementation at the server resulting in an HTML output. Customers can search, sort and select items and finally place them in a collection basket. Valuable features such as sorting across several catalogs simultaneously, customizable Quicksearch and searching within category fields remain key features of the updates. The integrated ordering system enables users to choose a preferred method of asset delivery, be it download, email or physical fulfilment, e.g. CD-ROM.
With Internet Client Pro 2.0.1 users, according to their user rights, can also catalog new assets, assign assets to new categories, edit and update stored metadata or check-in and check-out assets for local processing without having to install additional software.
The upgraded Internet Options now allow the use of various Cumulus 6.5 authentication capabilities. User authentication can be based on passwords stored in the built-in authentication method or an LDAP server, on system passwords (e.g. domain passwords), and with the new authentication API, even on any other authentication system.
Like all Option Updates, Internet Client Pro 2.0.1 and Web Publisher Pro 2.0.1 offer significantly enhanced performance and stability. They are based on Cumulus Java Classes. Web pages with very high traffic reveal the real power of this technology as response time becomes extremely fast.
Cumulus Internet Options can be used right out of the box yet are also extremely flexible and completely customizable using high-end HTML editors. They ship with Tomcat 4.1.30 Web application server and is compatible with Tomcat 5 and other Web application servers, such as WebSphere 5.1. Integration with Macromedia Dreamweaver is perfect as the existing possibilities like Custom-Java-Tags and online reference are fully supported.
