Some times the needed functionality cannot be covered by existing “off the shelf” software alone. PressIT provides the possibility of offering customized software, with development of additional modules. First and foremost our software development covers:

• ViArchive, solution for archiving, extracting and transcoding of video files
• Customization of archives; layout/design +  extra functionality with plugins
• Additional modules to other solutions for archiving of text and images (i.e. add-ons for customization of indexing, metadata adjustment and retrieval workflows)
• Standalone software modules developed in Flash / .Net / Java.

The customers’ needs can often be met with affordable and available software based on common standards, combined with assistance in establishing correct and effective workflow – and a certain amount of customization for an optimal solution.

Example: Flash module for Web

For The Norwegian Forest and Landscape Institute, in a project called “Tilbakeblikk” (norwegian for “looking back”), we developed a web flash module for showing the changing of landscapes in Norway over time. Every location has been photographed from the same standpoint twice, and many old photographs have been recaptured to show changes. The project aims to illustrate and create awareness about landscape changes in Norway.

The flash module includes an interactive map showing the location of the photographed landscapes, functionality for comparing the images of the changing landscapes and pdf download of fact sheets. The module supports multiple languages. Image files and PDF documents are managed in the background by an image archive.
