IntraNet Solutions, Inc.,announced that its Intra.doc! Web-based document and content management system now supports the MrSID (Multiresolution Seamless Image Database) Portable Image Format developed by LizardTech, Inc. LizardTech provides imaging technology and solutions to allow instant access to massive high-resolution digital images and multimedia content. This partnership enhances Intra.doc!’s ability to easily, publish, access and manage all of an organization’s corporate information, including complex images from sophisticated engineering drawings to four-color photos on intranets/extranets and the Internet.The MrSID Portable Image Format enables Intra.doc! users to reduce massive high-resolution images down to at least 3 percent of the original image size without any visual image degradation. This capability lets Intra.doc! customers import, export, manipulate, transmit and store reproduction quality images — even within Adobe PDF-based documents — while preserving the entire image’s integrity.Since the MrSID files are a mere fraction of the original size, transmission times and storage requirements are decreased dramatically. www.intranetsol.com, www.lizardtech.com
