Original Press Release:
INSCI Debuts WebWare ActiveMedia 5.0 Software for Digital Asset Management
Newest Version Wins Frost & Sullivan's Product of the Year Award for Excellence in Information and Communication Technology
LOS ANGELES, CALIF. (November 17, 2003)---INSCI Corp. (OTCBB:INSS), a leading provider of enterprise content management (ECM) solutions, today announced the release of WebWare ActiveMedia(tm) 5.0: the latest version of its award-winning Internet-based digital asset management (DAM) software. ActiveMedia 5.0 was introduced at the Henry Stewart Digital Asset Management Conference, held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
"ActiveMedia 5.0 builds on the industry leading price/performance of our ActiveMedia 4.0 platform and delivers features that redefine workflow, collaboration, and interoperability in the DAM industry," said Henry F. Nelson, president and CEO of INSCI. "ActiveMedia 5.0 will allow us to extend our lead in media and entertainment, pharmaceuticals and consumer package goods, while opening new markets in the enterprise pre-press, government, and marketing services industries."
ActiveMedia 5.0 was recently named the 2003 Product of the Year Award for excellence in information and communication technology by industry analysts Frost & Sullivan. The award will be formally presented in 2004.
The newest version of WebWare ActiveMedia establishes a new threshold in compound document support, providing unprecedented management for QuarkXPress(r) files including the ability to ingest, version, and maintain links between an Xpress document and all linked files. Identical handling is available for files created by Adobe InDesign(r), Adobe PhotoShop, and even HTML files and their associated images and links.
"The lack of proper management for Quark files costs businesses millions of dollars every year," said Michael Moon, president of GISTICS, a leading authority on digital asset management and publisher of definitive industry reports DAM-based strategies. "Quark's detailed sub-files such as graphics, photos and fonts routinely get lost and/or separated, causing businesses enormous headaches in reconstructing or recreating these key print files. ActiveMedia 5.0 delivers on the promise of managing files and workflows from a robust DAM repository."
With the new ActiveShare(tm) folder and file sharing features, ActiveMedia 5.0 users can collaborate with other registered users on a more personal, flexible and creative basis and still enjoy the industry's highest level of security.
ActiveMedia 5.0 includes a new e-mail feature that enables users to email links of archived files to recipients inside or outside a firewall. It allows teams to collaborate more effectively, minimizes security risks and eliminates data-heavy files from unnecessarily clogging e-mail servers.
"ActiveMedia 5.0 is a significant milestone in digital asset management," said Mark Wells, director of technology for TranTech. "Its XML/SOAP-based architecture and object-based metadata model allow us to deploy advanced visual information systems quickly while giving us the flexibility to customize and extend system capabilities into a broad range of mission- or agency-specific requirements."
Interoperability has been extended by the expansion of the ActiveMedia SOAP APIs, adding over 65 individual methods to support the development and extension of ActiveMedia's functionality and interoperability. Through SOAP, systems integrators can easily integrate ActiveMedia with existing document, file, and web content management applications or enterprise transaction and scanning solutions.
Key features include:
o ActiveShare file sharing and folder (collection) management
o E-mail asset links
o Easy metadata management
o Compound file support for QuarkXpress and Adobe InDesign files
o File transformations via Adobe Graphics Server(r)
o Full-text document search
o Rapid deployment
o User friendly, web-based interface
o SOAP API-based SDK
