Canto Releases Cumulus 7.6.1

Canto announced that Cumulus 7.6.1 is available for immediate download with many improvements, while other updates were included to ease the transition to the architectural updates coming in the company's next product release, Cumulus 8. One of the product's new capabilities is the ability for Cumulus to send automated email notifications when category assignments are made or changed. This enables organizations who use Cumulus categories for project management (in addition to digital asset management) to keep selected employees up to date as assets move through their development pipelines. Enhanced metadata support is now available for Microsoft Visio. When Visio files are cataloged, their entire text contents can be extracted and saved as searchable metadata by Cumulus. InDesign CS4 is now supported by Cumulus InDesign plug-in, which ships with all Cumulus servers. Also newly supported is the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM), a specification of the Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Initiative. http://www.canto.com
