microsoft acquired iView Media! Does this mean they're readying an iPhoto combatant?
Open letter from Yan Calotychos, founder of iView Multimedia
-----------------------------------------------------------
Today marks an exciting new chapter for iView and its relationship
with our customers. We?re announcing that iView has been acquired and
is now part of the Microsoft Corporation. With Microsoft?s purchase
of iView, we are in a position to enhance our industry-leading
product, whilst strengthening our customer service and support.
As digital asset management has become an essential requirement for
all creative professionals, many of you have told us that iView
MediaPro is a critical component of your business. We take that
responsibility very seriously.
In my view, this Microsoft acquisition affords us an unprecedented
opportunity to be even more responsive to a thriving market and
ensure that iView MediaPro continues to perform to its full
potential. Our engineering and marketing team here at iView are
energized and excited to be joining the Microsoft team, and I
personally will continue to be involved in the evolution of the
product for years to come.
What this acquisition will mean for you, our customers, is that
together we face a bigger and brighter future in managing your
creative workflow. The product that was born on the Mac will remain
on the Mac as well as on the Windows operating system. All iView
products will continue to be sold on the iView web site and through
our partners and channel. Bottom line: You all can continue to use
and buy iView products knowing that they will be fully supported as
Microsoft evolves the products in the future on both the Windows and
Mac platforms.
Your feedback and suggestions have been integral to the development
and tuning of our software, and as always we welcome your comments
and questions - please email us at <[email protected]>. We
have provided an FAQ regarding this announcement on our web site
and
we will keep you informed through regular newsletters and blog
postings as appropriate.
Thank you again for your support and we look forward to sharing with
you the evolution of iView MediaPro ? the industry?s true standard
for digital asset management.http://www.iview-multimedia.com/micr...cquisition.php
