Video shows off efficient image delivery
SEATTLE, Wash. — December 2, 2008 — LizardTech, a division of Celartem Inc. and a leading provider of software solutions for managing and distributing digital content, announced the launch of a series of videos the company will be posting on its website regularly, beginning with “Express Server at Work”, a video featuring Express Server in action using applications such as AutoCAD Map 3D and other programs to access imagery via WMS. Visitors to the LizardTech website can click here to view the video: http://www.lizardtech.com/video/exp_v1.php
“We’ve had many customers ask us which applications can integrate with Express Server, and now by watching a video they can see many of the different ways imagery can be efficiently served. In this video, in addition to seeing our other integrations, we showcase our compatibly with AutoCAD Map 3D, which is exciting since the Autodesk University 2008 conference is taking place this week in Las Vegas,” said Jon Skiffington, senior product manager. “This way users can get a sneak peak of the applications working together on our website then come visit us in booth 417 for more information.”
Additional videos, each focusing on different aspects and features of LizardTech applications will be posted in the weeks to come.

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.HERE IS THE DEAL
This month my column (see "keeping an open eye" www.geoconnexion.com/uploads/
keepingopeneye_ukv7i3.pdf) may not be for the faint-hearted. I’m afraid the gloves are off and I am going to have a go at some licensing practices but I’ll try to offer some alternatives along the way. There is one in particular where I’m throwing down the gauntlet (what’s with these gloves and gauntlets!?) to all of you who have issues with public sector derived data licensing.
