Press Syndication Group Uses Merlin Hosted DAM to Distribute Content Worldwide

Quincy, MA, August 10, 2009 - Press Syndication Group (PSG) is using the Merlin hosted digital asset management solution to distribute content to its newspaper sharing customers as well as make it available for licensing world-wide.

"PSG, while originally concerned with the syndication and licensing of photos, video, and multimedia produced by our newspaper partners, rapidly expanded our interests to include literally all of the content produced by any given daily newspaper in any given day," commented PSG President N. Warren Winter.

"Most of the hosted platforms PSG had considered previously were only able to handle photos so most hosted services were non-starters due to their lack of basic capabilities. In the end, PSG chose MerlinOne because the Merlin 5 client dramatically improved our workflow efficiency, and integrated easily between newspapers currently using Merlin picture desk systems (or any other major system for that matter). The Merlin hosted digital asset management solution is capable of handling anything we may need in the future including text, graphics, illustrations, page designs, headlines, and most importantly video," added Winter.

Merlin is a complete digital asset management system that allows users to organize millions of photos and other multimedia files using fast, precise searching with easy and flexible workflows. Access to Merlin is via thick or web clients.

The Merlin web hosted DAM (digital asset management) solutions are physically housed in a top-notch co-location facility with high security, generator backups and connections to 4 Internet backbones. MerlinOne provides performance assurances, fault-tolerance and can include an interface to pre-press production systems. Merlin customer service staff can directly support end-users.
