Comstock Integrates MediaRich Image Server to Streamline Its Production Workflow for Dynamic Self-Service Image Catalog
SAN RAFAEL, CA,- JANUARY 31, 2002 - Equilibrium, a leading provider of automated imaging solutions today announced that Comstock Images, a global provider of premium-quality stock photography, has selected MediaRich to dynamically generate and serve millions of images per month for their online library.
"MediaRich enables us to dynamically create multiple comping and thumbnail images of our photographs for searching, viewing and purchasing on our self-service website," said Derek Sasaki, Director of Web Development for Comstock. "MediaRich helps streamline and automate our production workflow. It saves our Production department time in pre-processing the derivative images and decreases file system maintenance by the Web department. Most importantly, since customer service is our primary goal, MediaRich increases the quantity and speed at which imagery can be made available to our customers online."
MediaRich is server-based imaging software that automates image production and enables the dynamic delivery of images to virtually any output device. With the power of MediaRich, companies are able to set up templates to rapidly perform the gamut of image processing functions normally done off-line by a team of technical resources. MediaRich has dynamic imaging features such as zoom/pan, colorization, mixing and matching, 360-degree rotations and text overlays. MediaRich streamlines image production workflow, resulting in dramatically reduced costs and faster time-to-market for producing rich visual content.
"Equilibrium is extremely pleased to be working with Comstock," said Ron Wood, President and Chief Revenue Officer for Equilibrium. "Comstock has one of the world's largest collections of premium quality commercial images and a client base in the tens of thousands that stretches from the largest advertising agencies in the world to desktop designers in every corner of the planet. MediaRich is the ideal application to serve them."
