Webinar to Explain Simple Digital Asset Management

) April 2, 2009 -- MetaCommunications, a leading software developer of collaborative workflow and productivity solutions, announced its next webinar series today.


"Find that File!" will be presented as part of the company's introduction to Workgroups 2009™. Ideal for prepress and high-volume production departments, creative agencies or any organization ready to streamline their production data management, files are automatically tagged with comprehensive metadata. This robust solution allows users to search text and graphics for quick file retrieval, even if the original file has been archived offline.

Our digital asset management solution focuses on the production process, easily cataloging in-process versions and project elements instead of just the final file. This comprehensive file capture allows users to find and repurpose files quickly, saving time and enhancing creativity

Obviously a benefit for remote users, our online access makes it simple for workgroups to share information with vendors, freelancers, offsite offices and others, simplifying the brand management process
