Informative Graphics Corp.'s Net-It™ Central Chosen
for Web-Based Document Publishing by Viewpoint Technologies
PHOENIX, Ariz.; April 2, 2001--Informative
Graphics® proudly announces its Net-It Central Web-Based Publishing
solution has been chosen to power document publishing by the award
winning website development firm Viewpoint Technologies.
Viewpoint Technologies specializes in a total approach
to website creation. As part of their process, Viewpoint Technologies
personnel work closely with customers to determine goals, choose
components, design databases, develop and deploy sites to help clients
expand their reach in the global marketplace. Viewpoint Technologies'
tools make it easy to maintain a professional appearance in the
ever-changing climate of the World Wide Web.
The company saw a need in the industry for tools
to help maintain the currency of documents and other information
on websites. Net-It Central will play a major part in Viewpoint
Technologies' expansion of this vision, according to Vice President
Jim Braun. "Our philosophy," he said, "is that most of our clients
that want websites want second, third or fourth generation sites.
It's difficult to update and maintain documents, and it's usually
done by the IS staff. What we've done is create tools that let the
people that create the information make their changes and updates
themselves, without requiring the skills of a Web developer or an
IT staff. We don't want to be in the loop of publishing content
for our clients. We want them to be able to do it themselves.
"We found our tools apply to a variety of clients,"
Braun continued. "City and county governments, healthcare, school
districts, alumni associations, anybody that has lots of information
they need to communicate to constituents, members or clients, anybody
that needs to communicate with each other more effectively, Net-It
Central has proven to be a great tool, along with our other services,
to act as a repository for that. It's been successful across a variety
of different situations."
The Net-It Central deployment enables Viewpoint
Technologies' customers to post documents, presentations, spreadsheets
and other vital information quickly and easily, without converting
the files to HTML, without having to create specialized Web pages
for each and without installing special client software or plug-ins.
Best of all, documents and other information published using Net-It
Central are dynamically updated and always current.
Net-It Central expands Informative Graphics' mission to provide
the highest quality thin client Web-based applications on the market.
With more than 1,000 installed customers, Net-It Central continues
to be adopted by traditional enterprise environments and is achieving
rapid incorporation into the world of online portals.
"Viewpoint Technologies is a major innovator in
the field of website creation for organizations," said Gary Heath,
Informative Graphics CEO and President. "Their selection of Net-It
Central is a great validation of the type of solution we have sought
to provide. Viewpoint Technologies' dedication to making things
simple yet robust for their customers makes Net-it Central a perfect
fit, and makes us proud to be associated with them."
"We picked Net-It Central because we develop intra
and extranets for our clients," Braun said. "In that process, we
were looking for solutions where we could easily publish large numbers
of documents in many different formats to the Web. After reviewing
many, many solutions, this was by far the most intriguing and the
most flexible. Other programs do documents in a number of different
ways, but this is the only one that keeps the formatting accurate.
Some products use XML, but converting documents to XML is not quite
there. It's not the same on all browsers, and this approach is a
lot more flexible. When I go present our variation of Net-It Central,
it loads incredibly fast, of course, and it loads page by page.
It was really a no-brainer for us to go this way."
