Written by Press Release   
Friday, 27 October 2006

Munich, October 27, 2006 – The web-based image sales platform optimizes with a new distribution system the collaboration with existing partner agencies and allows for further international growth.

"Automatic FTP-Push“ and "Dynamic Link“ are the two main pillars of imageBroker.net’s new distribution system. Partner-agencies can decide if they wish to receive new imagebroker images every evening or only once or twice a week. All new images will be transmitted by automatic FTP-push to the agency’s server in low-res-quality.

In the case of a high-res-download by the agency’s customer, the download will be made directly from imagebroker’s server by means of a dynamic link.

The system has been tested with a number of agencies in detail. It functions excellently and will be accepted very positively by the agencies. This avoids having to transport hundreds of gigabytes which must be hosted by the partners.
