SEATTLE, Wash. - February 4, 2008 - LizardTech, a division of Celartem, Inc., and a leading provider of software solutions for managing and distributing digital content, today officially launched a portal site where existing GeoExpress users can upload imagery to Express Server 6. The portal site can be found at http://portal.lizardtech.com/

The key new feature in the recently released version 7 of GeoExpress is its integration with Express Server, specifically the ability of a GeoExpress client to upload imagery directly to Express Server 6. To showcase the benefit and ease of using this feature, LizardTech deployed a public Express Server portal site for GeoExpress users to publish their imagery to on a 30-day trial basis. Upon publishing, users can instantly view their imagery in WMS applications, ArcIMS, and several Web applications, including Javascript, Flash and Ajax. This results in increased productivity by reducing the effort and time it takes to distribute imagery to the decision makers who need it.

"One of the most exciting new features of GeoExpress 7 is being able to encode and publish imagery to Express Server in one simple operation," said Jon Skiffington, LizardTech senior product manager. "With the new Express Server portal site, our current GeoExpress users can see just how quickly they can publish their imagery and make it accessible."

Customers who do not currently have the latest version of GeoExpress and would like to take advantage of the Express Server portal site can contact their sales representative at http://www.lizardtech.com/purchase/other.php and request an upgrade. Those who do not own GeoExpress can download a trial version here: http://www.lizardtech.com/products/geo/pretrial.php
