Valued MrSID SDK Integrator,

I have some exciting news to share. As a valued MrSID SDK integrator, we 
would like to inform you of a change at Celartem. Today, LizardTech is 
uniting with a Celartem affiliate company— Extensis. GeoExpress, Express 
Server, LizardTech SDK’s and GeoViewer are now part of the Extensis 
suite of solutions.

All business communications and interactions now will be as Extensis as 
the company name (Celartem, Inc. dba Extensis).  To confirm, our SDK 
License Agreements remain valid. Current and future SDK’s will be 
available for download at https://www.extensis.com/support/developers 
with SDK License Agreement acknowledgement.

*Why the Union? *

Over the past few years, we’ve seen increasing alignment between 
LizardTech and Extensis solutions and the needs of our respective 
customers. Both companies share a mission to help organizations increase 
the ROI and value of their digital assets and images. Organizations 
today are investing in large-scale imagery of all kinds, including 
photographic, aerial, and spatial, to name a few. Fully leveraging these 
digital files means having an easy and effective way to organize, 
compress, store, find, and distribute them.

With Extensis’ market leadership in digital asset and font management 
solutions combined with LizardTech’s state-of-the-art image compression 
technology, the united company is uniquely situated to provide 
comprehensive solutions to digital asset challenges that no other 
company can match. This union strengthens our ability to support our 
customers’ success and give them easier access to additional solutions 
for maximizing the value of digital assets of all kinds.

Please contact me at jyoung at extensis.com <mailto:jyoung at extensis.com> if 
you have any questions regarding this exciting unity under One Company 
Brand …… Extensis.
