ECXS Information Systems BV and Troi Automatisering release Astro 1.0: the Digital Asset Management Solution

New solution lets you find all your catalogued image files quickly.

Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands, September 11th, 2000--ECXS Information Systems BV and Troi Automatisering today announced the availability of Astro 1.0 for Mac OS.

What is Astro ?

Astro is a simple, yet powerful Digital Asset Management Solution. Astro was created by ECXS Information Systems BV and uses FileMaker and the power of Troi plug-ins to let you find all your catalogued files quickly.

Astro can catalogue your disks (CD's, Zip's or hard disks) and can even create thumbnails from image files. Browsing through catalogued disks is also possible.

Dick Honing, company president of ECXS, states: "Thanks to the new features in the Troi File plug-in it is now possible to create thumbnails from image files within FileMaker Pro. This gave me the opportunity to create the Astro tool, which will prove very valuable to any company wanting to easily and effectively manage their large archive of digital assets."

Features

Astro 1.0 offers these functions and features:

  • show a list of all catalogued disks
  • catalogue or delete disks
  • browse through a catalogued disk
  • show all images (pict, jpeg & gif) on a selected disk
  • create and show thumbnails of a selection
  • search a selected disk or all disks by filename and file type

We invite you to test drive this new solution and see what _you_ can do with it!
