PALO ALTO, CA and LONDON , a diversified media and technology
holding company dedicated to improving the quality of the digital
world for both businesses and consumers, and Wysiwyg Distribution,
Ltd., a leading provider of digital distribution services for
broadcast quality media content, announced today that they have
signed partnership agreements intended to increase the content
library of Wysiwyg and the entertainment industry market reach of
Voyant's RocketStream, Inc. subsidiary.
Under the agreement terms, Voyant Productions, a business unit
of Voyant International, will take an active role in aggregating
high-quality motion-picture content into Wysiwyg's digital services
business. This business provides original content producers with a
turn-key path to the digital marketplace. Content producers supply
their content, and Wysiwyg provides the technology and resources
for monetization. Wysiwyg increases the efficiency of legacy
distribution processes, provides original services and creates
multiple revenue streams by monetizing every aspect of the content
creation and delivery process.
Furthermore, Wysiwyg will also take an active role in promoting
the RocketStream(TM) data transfer acceleration software suite to
its entertainment-industry customers. RocketStream's fast,
reliable, secure, and seamless solutions can provide more than 100x
acceleration over traditional file transfer methods like FTP at a
fraction of the price of competing hardware-based solutions.
RocketStream's Window-compatible software has been available since
March 2007, and a Macintosh-compatible version is currently being
released to over one hundred beta registrants.
"We were among the first beta testers of RocketStream's new
Macintosh-compatible release, and the speed is fantastic," said Tom
Swanston, CEO of Wysiwyg. "In our discussions with the Voyant
management team, we found many synergies between Voyant
Productions, Wysiwyg, and RocketStream that we are now only
beginning to leverage."
"Wysiwyg is a visionary company focused on providing value to
their customers in a simple and compelling manner," said Mark
Laisure, chairman of the board for Voyant and head of Voyant
Productions. "This business fits with our vision of streamlining
and enhancing the digital world, from content production all the
way to the consumer. We look forward to a long and mutually
beneficial relationship."
Together the two businesses intend to revolutionize the content
creation and distribution process, allowing fast, economic, digital
delivery of content without the need to ship any physical materials
in the form of DVDs, hard drives, tapes or even film reels.
