Hello FreeBSD, Below is a press release announcing a new product/site called MediaDepot.com. Is this news you can use for FreeBSD? Thanks, Matt Hockin, MMG mailto:matth@mmgco.com http://www.mmgco.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE. Contact Information Shelley Campbell, Director of Marketing Communications scampbell@emediait.com Phone: 602-602-1033 New service = new business for content producers Vancouver, BC - June 30, 1999 - The first of its kind, MediaDepot, a web based content management system, delivers new opportunities to content producers such as web developers, graphic designers, and multimedia authors. "This isn't just an application," explains Dave Wolstenholme, president and founder of eMedia-IT Solutions, "this is a new way of doing business - a way to add value to relationships between producer and client. We have provided content producers with a FREE service that they can deploy in their everyday interactions with clients from around the world." eMedia-IT launched its service June 1st, and in doing so, has managed to redefine content management and its sister industry, media asset management. Gone are expensive client/server installations. With MediaDepot, the only thing required is a browser (no proprietary software to purchase) and an Internet connection. The 29 year-old Internet entrepreneur, Wolstenholme, and his company embody the attitude of the Internet - time and knowledge are the currency of today's economy. "Did you know that approximately 20% of a team's files, are likely duplicates? And, did you know that a creative professional typically spends at least 3 hours per week sending files back and forth between colleagues? Add it up and you have lost revenue opportunities in time and maintenance costs." When asked if he would consider his company an Application Service Provider, he quickly nods and continues, "It's like I always say, there are three things happening in the world - convergence of technologies, exponential growth of content, and the mobility of people and with them, knowledge. MediaDepot services all three trends, and does it without ascribing to the old desktop software model." How does all of this equate to new opportunities for content producers? Wolstenholme explains, "Content producers can put their content in one place - where they know it's secure - and then they can invite their colleagues and clients into their "community" to view files and share comments and changes." As Wolstenholme puts it, producers can add a new service to their clients without spending a cent.
