Leap into the future of personal media management

Local company offers easy and convenient new services to digitize, manage, and preserve ones entire media collection (photos, albums, video, audio, documents, etc.) for a lifetime and beyond

Dallas, Texas: February 13, 2003 — What if you could look up your childs 1st birthday video as easily as you can call up her graduation photo? What about that mixed tape you made for your college sweetheart? How about all those home movies youve put off converting? Sure, if you had the time to sift through all the old shoeboxes, and that trunk in the attic; but what if it was available right on your computer right at this moment? What about being available on any computer, from anywhere in the world?

If this sounds like a scenario from the future, wed like to assure you that its not. Its a very real service available right now, and right in your neighborhood. Its called Memoir, and its getting everyday folks like you and me, an easy way to jump into the digital media revolution.

Sure, you know all about those Internet photo sites…and you also know that as soon as you discontinue or switch providers, all that data is lost forever! There are even video and other media conversion services, but unless you make the big bucks, they are usually out of the reach for most of us. And so far there are no real options for all those old photos, tapes, documents and home movies sitting around in your home, other than even more expensive or tedious digital conversion methods.

It doesnt have to be that way! Theres no reason for the digital revolution to be painful on your schedule or pocketbook. "When we saw the choices available for people to digitize and manage their huge collections of photos and other media, we just knew there had to be a better way" says Ram Ramamurthi, Founder and CEO of Memoir.

During a several-hour search to find some old snapshots in his study, he, like most of us made that same mental note of one day organizing all those envelopes full of old photos. For most of us, that day never comes, but for Ram, it sparked an idea! Over the next couple of years, teamed with experts in software development, branding and emerging technology product development, Memoir was finally born.

Memoir offers a comprehensive service that entirely removes the hassle of dealing with the process of digitizing and organizing your media; it digitizes any media, in any format, especially age-old voluminous memoirs in albums and boxes, and organizes them online. The coolest thing about this is that once you do it (digitize your collection), its permanent. You dont have to pay anything else to have access to it, unless you want to be able to access the services associated with your media. Its ideal for insurance claims, valuable documents, you name it! Theres even a free trial so you can try without reservation and gradually transition into the comprehensive services. If you are still uneasy about having your media up on the Internet, and want your media collection transferred to CD, DVD, etc., you can do that too. Worried about risking those originals in mail? Memoir has a solution for that too – mobile digitization at your doorstep (limited areas).

So what kind of stuff are people doing with this type of service? Just about anything you can think of. See, once your assets are digitized, the possibilities are endless. Businesses use it for archiving documents, families use it to chronicle their family history, artists use it to catalog their art, rock bands use it to send digital photo albums to their fans, and there is still more stuff users have yet to think up. It seems the digital revolution has arrived. For the folks at Memoir, they couldnt be happier. For most of Memoirs customers, the first reactions have been: "Why hasnt anyone done this before?"

The people at Memoir dont know why anyone hasnt done it either. Theyre just glad that theyve created something they enjoy using themselves. The fact that its meeting with positive reviews is just icing on the cake! Memoir officially launched its services last year, just in time for the holidays.
