Inc. (ITI) announces the launch of the Streaming Media Industry Sourcebook,
a new annual publication for technology managers and executive decision makers
who are implementing rich media within their organizations. The Sourcebook, appearing

government, education, e-learning, and media and entertainment verticals. The
Sourcebook will blend a comprehensive directory of solution provider companies

studies; business and technology ROI; future-proof buying decisions; emerging,
scalable standards for video and audio streaming; and more.
                        “Streaming media technology continues to play
                          a vital role in enabling corporations to increase the
                          profitability, efficiency, and productivity of their
                          business. The 2004 Sourcebook will provide the knowledge
                          and real-world business examples corporations need
                          to implement streaming media technology and solutions
                          within their organization,” said Dan Rayburn,
                          executive vice president, Streaming Media, Inc. “Until
                          now there has been no go-to guide outlining the technical
                          and business know-how so desperately needed.” 
                        Mark Fritz, contributing editor to EMedia and former
                          conference chair for the V2B Conference & Expo,
                          will edit the Sourcebook. “A cross between a
                          magazine and a book, this volume will fill an information
                          gap,” said Fritz. “It will offer business
                          information, technical information, and a definitive
                          directory of streaming hardware and software. We intend
                          the Sourcebook to be the Readers’ Digest of Streaming
                          Media and therefore a must-have for anyone interested
                          in applying this technology.” 
                        Adam Pemberton, publisher of EMedia, The Digital Studio
                          Magazine, said the Sourcebook will “help advertisers
                          reach qualified enterprise buyers through a media mix
                          that includes Web, exhibiting, and print. Our research
                          shows a positive interest in a higher-circulation printed
                          annual. Our large Web audience allows us to develop
                          a qualified subscriber base for the Sourcebook, and
                          our on-staff editorial knowledge of digital media and
                          streaming promises a quality product.”
