Extensis
Extensis is a software company based in Portland, Oregon.[1] Its three main products are Extensis Portfolio, Suitcase Fusion, and Universal Type Server.
Extensis and its parent company Creativepro.com were sold to ImageX in year 2000, which in turn sold Extensis to Japanese content-management company Celartem Technology in 2002. In 2003, Extensis acquired competitor DiamondSoft and their Font Reserve applications (stand-alone and client-server). In January 2006, Extensis merged its two font management products, Font Reserve and Suitcase into a single product called Suitcase Fusion.
Products [edit]
Extensis Portfolio is a commercial digital asset management (DAM) solution. Portfolio was known as Fetch when Extensis acquired it from Adobe in 1996. Fetch was previously owned by Aldus.
Extensis Portfolio Server was soon released after as a scalable DAM solution for workgroups. With the addition of support for SQL, Portfolio Server's appeal has increased with successive versions.
Font Reserve was a Mac OS and Windows compatible font manager sold by Diamondsoft, and later Extensis. Some of its core features were incorporated into a new product, Suitcase Fusion in January 2006.
In January 2008 Extensis pre-announced Universal Type Server (replacing both Suitcase Server X1 and Font Reserve Server) to offer a new solution to centralized font management. Universal Type Server 1.0 was released in June 2008.
