History Originally incorporated as Xymox Systems, Inc., our name was changed to Xytech Systems Corporation in 1998 after the acquisition of Gentech Systems Corporation. In 1988, the company introduced its Myriad software, the first fully integrated facilities management system specifically designed to help manage the business operations of production, postproduction, and broadcast companies. The company initiated development of new client/server version of the product in 1997, which was called “Xytech Enterprise.” After four years of development, in 2009 Xytech Systems launched its next-generation software solution: MediaPulse™. Software Solutions The next-generation MediaPulse™ suite of software modules is the most comprehensive, feature-rich workflow management system available that has been built specifically for entertainment and media-based organizations. This next-generation solution suite is based on Microsoft’s .NET platform and has a unique ability to closely align to and facilitate the dynamic nature of media-related business operations. MediaPulse is the workflow hub in our customers’ facilities, managing critical financial information, technical resources, media assets, and personnel across multiple business units. Managers and other staff can track equipment, personnel, and facilities usage; create bids, work orders, and purchase orders; process billing and perform other financial activities; and manage all other aspects of a production, postproduction, broadcast, media archive, distribution, or media duplication operation. One of the key advantages of the MediaPulse solution is the flexible separation of the user interface from the actual software business logic. A powerful Layout Editor allows system administrators to completely control and define what users see on their screen. Using the standard application layouts that are supplied with MediaPulse as a foundation, users can remove any fields and columns, add others that are not standard, and move them around with simple drag-and-drop techniques. What separates the Layout Editor from similar tools is that as fields are moved around, the prompt, security, and all business rules automatically moves with them. MediaPulse can be internationalized to run in any language. The language used for all field prompts, menus, tab headings and other text used in the software may be changed based on the individual user’s login identity. Multiple time zones and currencies are also supported in MediaPulse. This, combined with the multi-language capabilities of the system, allows users from all over the world to easily interact with the same database. Each MediaPulse module supports a high level of functionality and depth. Large and small organizations benefit from standardizing on a single, fully integrated software solution that increases communication and workflow efficiencies between departments, improves productivity of their personnel, and maximizes the usage of valuable equipment and facilities. MediaPulse runs natively on Microsoft Windows clients and may also be deployed to Apple Macintosh clients. Additionally, it may be accessed and used via Web browsers and portable devices. MediaPulse supports Microsoft and Oracle database platforms. MediaPulse™ Pipeline is a comprehensive asset management system that completely automates digital media workflows and facilitates physical media workflows. Digital and physical assets are managed in the same system, but for file-based assets, Pipeline completely automates the workflow, including the processing of services such as copy, move, delete, FTP, transcode, watermark, and automated QC. MediaPulse Pipeline integrates with most DAM systems and is fully integrated with MediaPulse for full facilities management, costing, and billing. MediaPulse™ Express is a cost-effective business process management software solution ideal for production and postproduction facilities. Built using the same technology as the MediaPulse system, MediaPulse Express provides an easy-to-implement, easy-to-learn solution for media facilities with 20 or fewer concurrent users. It can improve workflows and efficiencies in a variety of environments, such as, departmental-level facilities within large organizations, television stations, small corporate media facilities, and independent postproduction companies.
