Lund, August 2003. The Danish company Yawah.com has appointed Studentlitteratur Software AB as distributor and partner for the introduction of eRez Imaging Server and ImageExpress for Cumulus .

Just-in-time imaging
Manually preparing and distributing images for different media (such as web, PowerPoint and professional printing) is a time-consuming and expensive task and often leads to errors caused by misunderstandings or change of plans. Now there is a solution that pleases external partners, makes the company’s products and services more visible and at the same time frees time for other tasks.

Colleagues, clients, partners or the press can quickly retrieve cropped images optimized for the job at hand in various resolutions and formats - no matter what, when and where.

With the eRez Imaging Server you only need to create and maintain a single version of each image. The eRez Imaging Server automatically creates endless number of variations in from the master image as needed.

Zoom-able images on the web
In addition to offering a perfect platform for image catalogs on the internet, eRez also supports zoom-able images on the web. This means that a company can allow visitors on a web site to take a closer look at the products and services being offered.

As the internet becomes a more and more important marketplace, fast loading web pages with professional high quality images becomes more and more important.

The eRez Imaging Server enables users on the internet to zoom in and examine details of high resolution images in a bandwidth efficient manner. Even images taking up hundreds of Megabytes or more can be examined in detail through a regular dial-up connection.

This allows potential customers to examine details such as buttons and seams of clothing, the state of antiques on an auction or details of a complex technical drawing. No Plug-ins or Java applets are needed.

"As a distributor of Canto’s software we meet a growing demand for image management among our customers", says Geir Larsen, CEO of Studentlitteratur Software AB. "The right software not only saves a lot of time within an organization - the ability to share images with partners on the internet also leverages the company’s previous investments in high quality images".
