Xytech Introduces Enterprise v11 At NAB 2008

Xytech Systems Corporation, a leading provider of software solutions that improve, streamline and automate media operations including business workflow, resource scheduling, media library management and digital workflow automation, have announced that they will launch Version 11 of its flagship software, Xytech Enterprise at NAB 2008.
Version 11 offers a new web-based Service Request module that provides internal and external users - such as customers or remote personnel - with automated self-service capabilities. This includes the ability to:

• Request and reserve scheduled services or resource packages,
• Search for physical or digital media assets and request media service,
• Specify and request delivery of selected media assets,
• Review details and status of requests, jobs, billing and other pertinent information.

With this Service Request module, a requestor can now choose from a variety of available services, browse and select any associated media assets from the library, specify delivery due dates/times and receive cost estimate of the requested services. After submission, Service Requests can be reviewed by production personnel or automatically converted into Xytech resource work orders and shipment requests. As the service requests progress through the fulfillment process, any status changes are automatically reflected in the Service Request module, and the requestor can optionally receive status change updates by email.
Also new in Xytech Enterprise Version 11 are enhanced digital workflow management capabilities, enabling the further integration and expansion of Xytech Enterprise as the business workflow backbone for digital content management systems and media operations. These new capabilities allow for the streamlining and advanced automation of media content aggregation, management, preparation and distribution operations.
Via industry standard Web Services, Xytech can integrate with and trigger tasks to be performed by third party applications necessary to prepare and deliver the media content. Once each step of the fulfillment process is completed and delivery of the specified media content has occurred, acknowledgement is provided back to the Xytech Enterprise software resulting in a media order or project being marked complete, and the optional auto generation of an invoice.
Ron Peeters, Executive Vice President of Xytech Systems Corporation, states: "Xytech Enterprise already provides a modular, best of breed solution for automating and streamlining mission critical media operations, including business and project workflow, resource scheduling, media library management, and digital content distribution enablement. Now with these new capabilities in Version 11, Xytech continues to expand the core functionality by extending into sophisticated self-servicing functionality for end users as well as the further automation of digital distribution processes based on business workflow."
Xytech is headquartered in Burbank, California and has regional offices in New York and London. They will be exhibiting at NAB 2008 in Las Vegas at Stand SL4326.
