Applied Graphics Technologies (AGT), a provider of outsourced digital media asset management services, and Vio Worldwide Ltd., operator of the only global managed digital network dedicated to the graphic arts industry, announced they have formed a strategic alliance to create a global digital media asset management service. The alliance will result in a unique service called M-Cast, which will allow corporate brand owners and their in-house or independent graphic arts service providers to build, update and access a database of their digital media assets—still images, illustrations, logos, videos and sound files—efficiently and economically from anywhere in the world over Vio's secure, managed network. M-Cast combines AGT's Digital Link asset management technology with the secure file transfer of Vio's IP-based Digital Graphics Network.
