MetaCommunications Releases Spark! for Creative Concept Review

MetaCommunications has announced the November 2, 2009 launch and availability of Spark!, a browser-based tool designed to facilitate collaboration between content creators and their clients. Spark! will help enable creative concept review workspaces where document content, including PDFs and graphic files, can be collaboratively discussed, revised, and routed for final approvals. Spark! is specifically designed for advertising, marketing, creative design, packaging, prepress, and web design. Spark! addresses issues surrounding collaboration between content creators who need to iteratively work through a design and then route that design through final approvals. The new Spark! requires no installation, special knowledge, or training to use. Spark! renders PDF and many image-based file formats on the fly. Whether it's a Balsamiq mockup, a magazine spread, logo designs, or packaging ideas, Spark! aims to circulate and discuss creative and concept files. By using commenting and annotation tools, all users reviewing a Spark! document should be able to annotate and discuss with each other in real-time, entirely within their web browsers. The Spark! Workflow Spark! plugs in to Approval Manager workflows to provide creative teams with feedback on concept and creative files. Reviewers responsible for giving feedback work from notifications delivered to their email inboxes or from review dashboards in their web browsers. Whether following links from email or using the dashboards, all reviewers open the same document in Spark! and share each other's comments, annotations, and approval statuses. http://www.meta-comm.com/
