Inmagic announces introductory discount on Genie Express Web-based catalog solution

Buy before June 30th - and receive a significant discount!

Genie Express is a Web-based application that provides online access to a single database, catalog or archive, quickly and without requiring IT support or any development effort on your part. Genie Express supports the management and publishing of both traditional and non-traditional research assets such as documents, news, URLs, images, books, and more.

For many years now, Inmagic has provided products for publishing catalogs to the Web. We have seen customers publish their catalogs in many shapes and forms. Some customers have built outstanding interfaces, while others have been less successful in creating a user experience that meets what they and their user community expected. Still others have hesitated to go to the Web, fearing that they would not be able to achieve a high-quality result.

With the introduction of Inmagic® Genie Express, everyone has the ability to achieve great results. To address the evolving demands and requirements around publishing catalogs to the Web, we have combined "best of breed" features from many of our customers along with a set of new features. The result is a highly-configurable catalog application. Genie Express ensures that every customer's Web-based catalog will look world-class and include advanced capabilities - in just a few weeks.

Genie Express is based on the OPAC from Inmagic® Genie (Inmagic's Web-based integrated library system). This means that your search, display, and edit screens are pre-built and ready to go. You even get advanced features like InfoCart, file upload, and image reports on the Web.

Inmagic can help you quickly configure Genie Express to fit your database and its fields - and then you are ready to go!

Because Genie Express is fully Web-based, maintenance enhancements to the product will automatically be available to you and your users with each maintenance release. Whether you are a Windows customer going to the Web for the first time, or a current WebPublisher PRO customer wanting to take your catalog to the next level - consider Genie Express.

We would love to show you how easy it is to "take it to the next level" with Genie Express!

Inmagic® Presto v1.1 is now available
In February of 2006, we released version 1.1 of Presto, our Web-based research asset management system. Presto was designed for information centers where managing multiple collections of information in diverse formats and locations is of strategic importance. The information-intensive organizations that use Presto typically have high-value and dynamic content that needs to be centrally managed and made available to a wide audience 24/7 - library automation and workflow are not a central concern.

Organizations that have selected Presto include Newsweek, Cephalon, and Kennedy Space Center/NASA. For details, check the press release about these Presto clients.

Join a webinar to learn about best practices in research asset management

More than ever...your organization's success depends on quickly finding and acting on various kinds of research assets: the high-value internal and external information that professionals at all levels use to gain insights, plan, and execute.

However, based on Inmagic's conversations with hundreds of organizations in a variety of industries, the management of internal and external "research assets" remains challenging for most organizations - including sizable organizations with otherwise sophisticated capabilities.

How do the "best practice" organizations manage their research assets?

How can your information center be an invaluable resource across the organization?

Join us to hear about seven best practices in research asset management. We'll also discuss return on investment (ROI): how those best practices organizations (and especially those who lead them) gauge the impact of effective research asset management.

Check our Events Calendar and register for a webinar about better research asset management.
