Explore NASA's successful knowledge management strategy and next generation initiatives with Inmagic

Live Webinar Tomorrow, April 17th at 1:30 p.m. EDT

The NASA Kennedy Space Center is using Inmagic® Presto as the knowledge management platform to store, manage and access more than five million photos, 10,000 videos and up to 7,000 motion picture films vital to the safety of NASA's space shuttle missions.

Benefit from NASA's experience in selecting a vendor for this mission critical application. NASA found that software applications designed solely as digital asset management tools couldn't handle the depth and variety of NASA's diverse document formats and document-centric vendors could not properly address its imaging assets.

The NASA Kennedy Space Center quickly turned to Inmagic® Presto, a Web-based enterprise knowledge management application designed to manage, publish and provide access to diverse and dynamic content within a single integrated knowledge management environment.

Please join us for this informative Webinar and hear first-hand how NASA launched a successful knowledge management mission with Presto, and why NASA and other leading organizations like Newsweek, Cephalon and Lincoln Center have selected Presto as their knowledge management platform for mission critical business requirements.
