MICROSOFT TECH-ED 2005, ORLANDO, FL.—JUNE 7, 2005—Equilibrium, the leading provider of automated media processing and delivery solutions for the enterprise, today announced that Equilibrium MediaRich® for Microsoft® SharePoint Portal Server won the 2005 People's Choice Awards for Best Imaging software for SharePoint from MSD2D.com, a resource for the Microsoft SharePoint community. Equilibrium MediaRich for SharePoint reduces costs and increases business efficiency by enabling information workers and remote business partners to quickly locate, manage, modify and deploy digital media assets in a self-service portal.
"Equilibrium is pleased to win MSD2D's People's Choice Award for outstanding imaging product for Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server for three years in a row," said Sean Barger, founder and chief executive officer of Equilibrium. "We look forward to building upon our success with the SharePoint integrator community and Microsoft's product teams to offer the most powerful, scalable and flexible solutions to meet the growing high-volume and on-demand dynamic media processing and delivery needs of our customers and partners."
Equilibrium MediaRich for SharePoint Portal Server 2003 extends the collaborative experience of Microsoft SharePoint products and technologies with brand management and image automation. The resulting Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution 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, mobile devices, and Microsoft Office 2003 applications. Equilibrium MediaRich accomplishes this by ingesting the image metadata, and extends SharePoint Portal Server 2003's search capabilities to recognize this metadata and return thumbnail previews, no matter what the original file format was. This gives information workers and remote partners a means to edit and deploy assets either as single images or in batches, from a familiar user interface and fully utilizing the existing document file repository.
"The fourth Annual People's Choice Awards recognizes the best products and companies in our industry. Visitors to our website cast their vote for the products they view as the very best in their respective category," said Jackie Nguyen, Vice president of Sales. "MSD2D has over 25,000 unique visitors a day. Many are interested in learning more about how to extend the power of SharePoint using solutions for Imaging/Scanning. Their vote serves as a solid peer-to-peer recommendation of the winning product."
