Digital Creations Partners with ZapMedia?.com in High Proile Project May 3, 2000

ATLANTA, GA � ZapMedia?.com recently partnered with Digital Creations of Fredericksburg, VA, to design the portal half of its entertainment media web site. Utilizing its Open Source application server Zope, DigitalCreations? implemented the server-side business logic that communicates with ZapMedia?�s highly touted ZapStation? hardware device to deliver entertainment assets. The media library and registered member system is built on a Zope content management architecture a project which began last January.

�We examined other content management systems, such as Vignette for the server-side of our business and chose Zope for its time to market and flexibility.� said ZapMedia? CEO Ken Lipscomb �We then partnered with Digital Creations as the Zope solution provider, and they played a vital role in requirements discovery, architecture design, development, and now implementation. We honestly could not have done it without them.�

Said Digital Creations founder and CEO Paul Everitt, �ZapMedia?.com is a powerful player in the market for brining digital content into the home, and the use of Zope as a high performance content management system and portal architecture allows ZapMedia? to integrate and deliver content from multiple sources. By brining the resources of Digital Creations into the developmental picture, we were able to increase time to market and ROI by working together in a Zope-based business environment.�

The ZapStation? device blends Internet access with a variety of in-home entertainment hardware devices. Scheduled for delivery this fall, the device will allow users to access and store videos, movies, music, e-mail and other Web content, then direct it to TVs?, radios, personal computers, and other devices. ZapMedia? recently received a major boost from Gannett, parent company of USA Today, which invested $270 million in the entertainment company.

Zope is the leading Open Source application server, specializing in content management, portals, and custom solutions. ZapMedia? joins the roster of high profile web-based businesses using Zope, including VistaSource.com, BeOpen??.com, and Healtheon/WebMD??. Digital Creations provides Zope solutions through consulting, technology partnerships, and other services.#####
