North Plains' TeleScope(TM) Digital Asset Management Platform Named KMWorld Promise Awards Finalist

TORONTO-(Business Wire)-October 2, 2008 - North Plains Systems, Inc., the leading provider of digital asset management (DAM) and video asset management (VAM) software solutions, today announced that it has been selected by KMWorld as a finalist for the 2008 Promise Awards. Chosen for its achievements in the technology area, this recognition further validates North Plains’ leadership within the DAM market as well as demonstrating its commitment to its customers, business improvement solutions and technological advancement.

KMWorld Promise Awards are given to organizations that provide customers with innovative technology solutions for implementing and integrating knowledge management practices into their business processes. Selected organizations demonstrate how they go beyond simply delivering technology to working with clients to ensure that both the technology and knowledge management improvements are embedded into business-altering work processes.

“We are proud to be selected as a finalist for KMWorld’s Promise Awards,” said Hassan Kotob, President & CEO of North Plains Systems, Inc. “North Plains works diligently with its customers to ensure we are delivering on the promise of providing value to their organizations through the streamlined management of their digital assets. Our award-winning DAM solutions give our customers the tools they need to efficiently manage, repurpose and distribute all their digital assets across any size organization. We’re pleased to help them improve their business processes – saving precious resources, both capital and human, that can be redistributed to address other mission-critical projects.”

North Plains’ award-winning TeleScope platform provides logical and effective workflows that can handle the creation, approval, storage and distribution of customers’ content. The platform’s interoperability with industry-standard content creation tools allow creative professionals to work in the environment they’re most comfortable in while TeleScope’s sophisticated metadata tagging capabilities allows them to quickly find assets and repurpose them “on-the-fly.” The integration of rights management and security features allows organizations to protect vital assets and limit their use to people responsible for these assets.

“TeleScope gives us a way to centrally manage, collaborate on and efficiently distribute our digital assets across multiple groups with the click of a button,” said Matthew Bennett, Director of Strategic Publishing Operations, Hachette Book Group. “North Plains delivered the solution we needed to take control of this once productivity-draining process so we can get more done in less time. On top of that, TeleScope’s ability to integrate with Adobe Creative Suite also means we can better manage the creative portion of the asset life cycle – an essential business requirement for us in today’s convergent technology environment.”
