PRODUCTS

Pixami has many years of development invested in our products and technologies. A relationship with Pixami provides our partners access to state-of-the-art online imaging solutions, without the significant costs of development and maintenance. Pixami's offering includes the licensing of advanced online photo-related products and technologies, custom digital imaging development, and site planning and construction. Pixami also drives volume print production in the online photo industry, for products like books, greeting cards and calendars.

By maintaining extreme flexibility in all aspects of our solutions -- from custom branding, to template-driven content, to input and output variables, and scalability -- Pixami enables our partners to meet their goals without compromise. A relationship with Pixami also allows our partners to decrease both development cost and time-to-market; two critical factors for any online business.

When developing or implementing products Pixami places internal emphasis on professional features, with consumer-level ease-of-use. This philosophy allows us to meet the needs of multiple markets, with solutions that are more immediately successful.

Pixami's current offering includes a suite of online products that are used to acquire and maintain volumes of online images, and generate revenue through various online functionality and options for printed output. Pixami's products can be deployed individually to add functionality to an existing site, combined and re-skinned to develop a new, full-featured site, or integrated at a feature level into a custom development project.

Current Pixami products are broken into the following categories:

Photo Uploading: advanced functionality for quickly and easily uploading large numbers of images, from various locations, to a web server. Online Photo Enhancement: key functionality for correcting online digital camera images in preparation for print, plus fun and creative effects. Online Layout: powerful online page editor for creating composite images from design templates, photos, text, and other graphic elements. A wizard-based experience instructs the user in the creation of specific products such as photobooks, greeting cards and calendars. Order Administration: Commercially-scalable back-end functionality that receives print orders from an online shopping cart, and manages file-prep and delivery, production status and customer service.

TECHNOLOGY

The foundation of all Pixami software products is our proprietary Bandwidth Independent Processing technology (BIP). This revolutionary technology solves the bandwidth problem for online digital imaging, allowing users to obtain consistently fast performance regardless of photo size or connection speed.

BIP eliminates the need to ever pass high-resolution photos over the Internet, using low-resolution previews for all on-screen photo and page processing. Once the desired modifications have been achieved, only a small proprietary script file is uploaded to the server, where the high-resolution photo or page is processed, in the background, and totally independent of the users system.

By tightly integrating advanced digital imaging technology with the most attractive features of the Internet, Pixami products greatly enhance the online photo experience for all users.
