ENDEAVOR, LUNA IMAGING ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP FOR ENCOMPASS™ - INSIGHT® INTEGRATION

Interoperative Systems Provide Advanced Image Retrieval

DES PLAINES, IL AND CULVER CITY, CA - June 20, 2003
Endeavor Information Systems, a technology leader for library software, and Luna Imaging, Inc., the premier name for managing and using visual collections, announced today an exclusive partnership that brings together the best of both worlds to enrich access to all types of library content.

The alliance, announced at the American Library Association/Canadian Library Association Conference in Toronto, creates a premium content gateway between the ENCompass™ system for managing, searching and linking collections and Luna's Insight® software for working with high resolution images, data, video and audio materials. In addition, this allows Endeavor to provide the option for libraries to purchase an integrated version of Insight with their selection of ENCompass.


Libraries that choose the powerful federated search of ENCompass to access content can now incorporate the power of Insight for their users.

When ENCompass users conduct a search it will return results from information contained in Insight collections together with data from other resources. Users who select Insight-enabled results activate Insight's tools for viewing, comparing and organizing full-quality visual resources that are used by leading institutions worldwide for research and classroom use.

"ENCompass is extremely powerful in searching and organizing information from multiple metadata formats while Insight is designed with the core competency to accurately display, in great detail, digital objects. Libraries can be reassured this partnership is the best of both worlds - inherently strong searching and visually appealing and useful image display," said Roland Dietz, Endeavor President and CEO.

"Bringing together Insight and ENCompass complements and extends the strengths of both systems," said Luna Imaging President Michael Ester. "ENCompass can now include Insight collections within its wide matrix of resource discovery, while libraries and their user community can draw on Insight's rich user environment and management capabilities for working with images and other media."
