Mr. Michael Anthony reports
Big Picture Technologies has received its first preorders for Smart Site
3.0, the company's Internet quality assurance and Web traffic management
software. Ingram Micro, the world's largest computer wholesaler and Big
Picture's distribution partner, generated these initial orders.
Smart Site is a powerful Web site analysis and maintenance tool designed to
help Web developers, Web masters, technology managers and marketing and
business executives plan and maintain quality Web sites within budget and
on schedule. The software can be used to identify broken links, coding
errors, slow to download pages, spelling mistakes, unused pages etc.
Smart Site 3.0 extends and expands upon the functionality of its popular
predecessor, offering new and advanced features such as enhanced Web site
scanning, (including site grabbing, advanced resource scanning and proxy
support), traffic analysis, (trace routing, orphan file locator and PING),
code verification (more code recognized such as XML, JavaScript, CLF etc.)
and reporting, (with charts, textual explanations etc.) as well as enhanced
mapping speed and improved storage. These functional advancements are
incorporated within an entirely new interface (which retains the previous
version's navigational integrity), specifically designed to simplify the
product for new users interested in understanding the structure, content
and status of any Web site. This makes Smart Site 3.0 the most
comprehensive, easy-to-use Web site mapping, analysis and reporting
software available today.
"Smart Site 3.0 is scheduled for release at the beginning of November and
the company is anticipating an enthusiastic reception for this latest
offering," stated Michael Anthony, president and chief executive officer.
"The Smart Site tag line states if you have a Web site you need this tool.
As Web sites become more complex Smart Site is the ideal solution to
address a growing problem facing the industry -- Web site mismanagement,"
he added.
This is the second product Big Picture is launching within the next 30
days. eMerchant pro is scheduled for release in late October as well and
the company has already received a spirited reaction from distributors and
retailers for this new product.
eMerchant pro offers everything a small to medium-sized merchant would need
to develop and deliver a truly interactive, e-commerce-enabled Web site in
about an hour. The product comes complete with templates to create
powerful, customized Web sites, automatic registration of domain names,
back-end facilities for credit card processing and full shopping cart
functionality. In addition, the product will be made available with Web
site hosting services and Tel-e-marketing, Big Picture's proprietary
on-line customer contact functionality which enables merchants to directly
contact on-line shoppers. Customers who use eMerchant pro to build their
Web site can use Tel-e-marketing to interactively guide on-line shoppers
and help them make informed purchases.
