eRez Imaging Server 2.0 released

The key topic of this newsletter is the new version 2.0 of the eRez Imaging Server that was released earlier this month.

Version 2.0 is the first major update since version 1.0 was released back in 2001. Many new features have been added including a ground-breaking new web-interface that makes sharing, editing and creating images easier and more enjoyable than ever.

The eRez Imaging Server 2.0 can be used both as a cost-effective standalone “picture bank” and as an integrated part of a general purpose asset management or content management system.

YaWah’s quality products and highly successful customers in the northern part of Europe are a direct result of the smart new product technology that Yawah has developed over the last years.  I’m proud to be a part of YaWah and I look forward to contributing my sales and marketing expertise to expand this success of into the rest of Europe.
