Xytech Systems and eMotion Enter Partnership to Bring Complete
Media Management Solutions to the Entertainment Industry
Las Vegas, NV - April 24, 2001 — Xytech Systems Corporation, a leading provider of media asset and workflow management software, and eMotion, Inc., the global leader in digital media management (DMM) solutions, announced they have entered into a strategic partnership to provide media management solutions for the entertainment industry.
Xytech will combine its proven media asset and workflow management software with eMotion MediaPartner™ 4.0, a 100% web-based fully scalable digital media management application. Xytech's MetaVault™ product features a comprehensive database for media content storage, search and retrieval with separate yet integrated tables for titles and elements. In addition, businesses can use the system for additional tracking capabilities outside their walls to large media archive services. MediaPartner's three main features are "Work", a flexible, collaborative project management environment; "Store", deep archiving with a powerful natural language search engine; and "Send", the ability to distribute bandwidth-intensive files easily over the Internet.
"The partnership opens a whole dimension of possibilities for both companies," comments Roger Kleckner, president of Xytech Systems. "Xytech foresees new business opportunities that are currently tied up in physical vault libraries. We plan to work with our clients and eMotion to manage this information and exploit its true market potential. We are confident that our experience in workflow management for physical assets, combined with eMotion's expertise in digital media management, will prove to be a powerful combination."
"Through the unique blend of physical and digital media management,
our partnership with Xytech creates a tightly integrated media management
solution," said Cynthia Francis, chief marketing officer and
vice president of business development for eMotion, Inc."The
combination of our complementary products, technologies, and industry
expertise will set new benchmarks in the DMM market space as we
help clients realize efficiencies in media creation and management."
