For immediate release: BOSTON, MASS. October 20, 2005:

ZipMap for Lotus Notes – A new image optimization software for Lotus Notes from MK Net.Work, the vendor of ZipMail, the compression suite for Lotus Notes, Microsoft Outlook and web mails.

Images, photos and screenshots (bitmaps) copied and pasted in Lotus Notes emails and documents consume vast amounts of Notes/Domino server storage and WAN bandwidth in most Notes using organizations.

ZipMap for Lotus Notes reduces, at the time of the paste operation, and by up to 90%, the volume of disk space and network bandwidth consumed in Notes by the copied & pasted images.
Depending on the optimization settings, there is no discernible loss of quality.
The image rendering in Lotus Notes is even improved with images having large number of colors!

ZipMap is Automatic:
The bitmap optimization is done at the source; ZipMap is invoked automatically when the users paste images to their Notes messages and documents.

Transparent or Interactive:
ZipMap can be configured to operate transparently or to display a graphical user interface enabling the users to preview the results of the default optimization settings, to select only a part of the image or to apply other settings, if needed.
Optimization results are displayed in the ZipMap interface (when displayed) and in the Lotus Notes client status bar (always).
ZipMap also includes an optional Windows Taskbar system tray utility to display the cumulative volume reduction results.

Immediate Benefits:
-Reduction of the needs for Notes related storage and network bandwidth.
-Cost reduction and cost avoidance.
-Acceleration of Notes replication for messages and documents containing copied and pasted images.
-Better use of Lotus Notes and Domino messaging infrastructure resources.

What is ZipMap?
ZipMap is an extension to the Lotus Notes Client, versions 5.02b to 7.xx.
It is a single 150 KB DLL file, provided in an automatic setup package for instant deployment. It has both a very low memory and resource footprint.

Central Administration (Optional):
ZipMap functioning parameters and bitmap optimization policies can optionally be managed on a central basis and updated automatically from a central Notes database, without any end-user interaction.
This central database enables to define default as well as custom image optimization settings for each user and/or for groups of users.
The ZipMap program itself can be updated automatically via Notes.
ZipMap statistics can be consolidated in a central Notes database.

100% Automatic setup:
Like for all of the MK Net.Work client software, ZipMap is delivered in a silent and automatic setup package for instant installation / deployment.
And once deployed, it is able to update itself transparently (parameters and program) from a central NSF database.
