ImageSpan's powerful LicenseStream platform is designed with a number of audiences in mind —
from enterprise to creator. LicenseStream delivers a smart, powerful, easy-to-use set of Web
services that allows a buyer to license content quickly and a seller to syndicate content safely.
The Industry Standard For Licensing Automation
ImageSpan provides a licensing automation platform running as a managed service and on
patent-pending technology. The company gives its clients completely automated control over the licensing
and distribution of any digital content or mashup via website, download player, or triggered by any Web
services-based event.
ImageSpan's LicenseStream is especially useful for sophisticated Web 2.0 social and advertising network
environments which deliver a rich and wide variety of content types to various social groups and targeted
demographics, and require a highly scalable and transactional process. These organizations typically use
legacy or manual tools and processes to license and settle these transactions resulting in higher
transaction costs, lower margins, and lower customer satisfaction rates.
LicenseStream enables easy assignment of revenues to multiple parties, while providing quick and
efficient registration, rights management and transaction settlement capabilities – all in an automated
fashion. The LicenseStream solution results in reduced costs to advertisers, ad agencies, design firms and
publishers by facilitating precise management of each rights package. Currently we provide extensive
content licensing infrastructure for Omnicom, Sports Illustrated, TAKKLE, Dealer.com and Visible World.
Founded in 2003 and based in Sausalito, California, ImageSpan is backed by Bertelsmann Digital Media
Investments, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bertelsmann AG, a leading international media company.
ImageSpan also is a trusted solution provider and is the exclusive provider of license registry services to
the PLUS Coalition, the international, multi-industry standards body for image licensing.
ImageSpan has created LicenseStream to be a licensing platform for all media types and for all levels of
business. With its three distinct services – LicenseStream Enterprise, LicenseStream Creator and
LicenseStream Production – ImageSpan has a diverse business ecosystem. This revenue diversity
increases and enhances the services ImageSpan provides and will bring to all its platform users.
