SEATTLE--Sept.
7, 2000--Corbis, a company that offers photos on the Internet, today
launched Corbis BizPresenter, an online image resource offering Corbis's
images, New Yorker cartoons, computer illustrations and PowerPoint
templates for business content creations, particularly for presentations,
Web sites or other materials. As an introduction to BizPresenter,
Corbis is providing up to five free downloads of any content from
the BizPresenter site through the month of September.
Aimed at business people who are constrained by time, budget, and
design expertise, Corbis BizPresenter offers a variety of professional-quality
visual media. Content has been pre-sorted from nearly 60,000 images,
arranged into sets such as subject, idea, industry, and is searchable
though BizPresenter's exclusive Power Browse feature.
Because business people often create materials in non-office locations
like hotels or airports, BizPresenter has been maximized for 56K modems
and requires no special plug-ins or applications. BizPresenter.com
is accessible to PC and Mac users.
Corbis has teamed up with several important partners to provide diverse
and exclusive content, including:
-
Images from the Corbis Collection--BizPresenter offers thousands
of high-quality photographs and photo-objects carefully selected
from the expansive Corbis Collection to help business users explain
concepts, deliver messages, and enhance communication.
-
New Yorker cartoons from The Cartoon Bank--classic cartoons
from the New Yorker magazine will give BizPresenter users "ice breaker"
material and the ability to effectively illustrate and reinforce
points through humor.
-
Illustrations
from QA DIGITAL--
choose from thousands of photo-realistic illustrations for use in
presentations or Web sites.
-
Templates
from PresentationPro--fresh background designs.
Corbis also has
initiated a strategic partners program. Initial services partners
include: -
-
Mimeo.com--BizPresenter
customers can link to this site to have documents professionally
printed and bound, and delivered the next day.
-
RealNetworks--BizPresenter
customers can transform ordinary PowerPoint slides into audio and
video presentations that can be streamed over the Internet using
RealPresenterG2 software. RealPresenterG2 software is available
through BizPresenter.
BizPresenter also
signifies Corbis' entry into the business presentation market as it
leverages a subset of the company's 65 million images in a new direction.
While licensing for presentations is relatively inexpensive, the cost
of the products offered at BizPresenter will depend on their type,
resolution, and intended use. New content and services will be added
over time, so users can find unique and useful items regularly.
