Virage Selected For Department Of Defense Visual Information Management Project
SAN MATEO, Calif. - June 9, 2003 - Virage, Inc. [NASDAQ: VRGE] today announced that TranTech, Inc. has chosen Virage to participate in the development of a visual information management system (VIMS) for the Department of Defense (DoD). TranTech is an enterprise management and IT services firm in Alexandria, Virginia. Through its SmartEncode™ products, Virage will provide video capture, indexing, and encoding functionality for the VIMS project. Virage is a leading provider of video and rich media communication software.
The American Forces Information Service (AFIS), an element within the Office of the Secretary of Defense, awarded the multi-year contract to TranTech. Under this contract, TranTech has solicited best-of-breed vendors, such as Virage, to help in the development of the solution. The goal of VIMS is to eliminate manual processing of video and rich media assets, thereby increasing productivity and reducing overall operating costs.
"TranTech is committed to helping the government efficiently manage the onslaught of digital content," said George Kolesar, senior vice president at TranTech. "Our effort combines TranTech's knowledge and expertise with commercial technology from industry leaders such as Virage. This project will result in the government's most advanced digital asset management system that will be able to support content from a variety of sources such as UAV programs or Weapons of Mass Destruction Inspections. VIMS will greatly extend the life of any visual asset gathered by the Department of Defense."
During the initial 210-day deployment, the VIMS solution will be utilized by the AFIS, the Defense Visual Information Center (DVIC), the Joint Combat Camera Center (JCCC), and the Joint Visual Information Services Distribution Activity (JVISDA). The initial deployment will establish a standardized digital asset repository for AFIS, DVIC, JCCC and JVISDA with an e-commerce payment system and digital rights management. The agencies will be able to process and store still images, video, audio, graphics and text documents in a centrally located, 20-terabyte repository that can grow to more than 100 terabytes. Upon successful completion of the initial deployment, the VIMS solution will be available to all DoD and Federal Government agencies.
VIMS will provide a fast, effective and streamlined workflow for capturing and storing the full range of visual assets. Creators of visual assets, such as pictures and videos, will be able to ingest assets in real-time and distribute them immediately to local users as well as the DoD and the general public. During times of military conflict, VIMS will make it easier to handle surge volumes of new content. Additionally, through compliance with the SCORM (Shareable Content Object Reference Model) standard, VIMS will also provide a suite of e-learning and enhanced service capabilities for military and civilian educational activities.
