SAN RAFAEL, CA—MARCH 25, 2003—Equilibrium, a leading provider of automated imaging servers for the enterprise, today announced that the Indianapolis Zoological Society (IZS) has selected Equilibrium® MediaRich™ Image Server for Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server for the online photo library for the Indianapolis Zoo and White River Gardens. The resulting media asset management solution generates thumbnail previews during search results regardless of the original file format, adds zoom and pan functionality, and provides automated image editing, conversion and delivery for one or multiple images. Equilibrium MediaRich for SharePoint increases business productivity and reduces creative department costs by enabling knowledge workers to easily manage, modify and deploy visual assets in a familiar self-service portal.
Equilibrium MediaRich for SharePoint allows corporations to maintain revision control for a single high-quality asset, create derivatives on-demand, and deliver consistent brand assets for the Web, print, wireless and Microsoft Office applications with accurate color profiles. Utilizing the underlying security mechanisms of Microsoft Windows® 2000 and SharePoint Portal Server, all information in the repository is secure. By implementing Equilibrium MediaRich for SharePoint, the Web team at the Indianapolis Zoological Society will be able to search, update and share relevant images with staff, including administrators, veterinarians, zookeepers, horticulturists and educators for collaboration and maintenance.
"Everyone associated with updating and accessing our thousands of digital photos is thrilled with the implementation of Equilibrium MediaRich for SharePoint, because it streamlines image production and maintenance, while empowering our subject matter experts to work together more efficiently," said Paul Grayson, IZS Chief Operating Officer. "We explored a number of alternative media asset management solutions, but the combination of MediaRich's automated imaging functionality with the collaborative workflow environment of Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server meets our needs and fits our budget."
