In October, JPY acquired JVolution Ltd - specialists in 'Content Managed' (CMS) web development. Through this acquisition, JPY can now offer customers Java J2EE, Microsoft ".net" and Open Source web development alongside its existing portfolio of workflow, data-management and asset-management products and services. John Yardley, JPY's MD said:

"We are delighted to acquire JVolution and expand our services to include CMS web development. As well as being able to develop bespoke web applications for our customers, we now have the in-house capability to customise 'distributed' products from our own portfolio. Although 'off-the-shelf' products like the Canto Cumulus digital asset management solution and HELIOS WebShare allow customers to "web publish' their assets far more cheaply than bespoke solutions, there can be a compromise on functionality. Now with the in-house capability to customise these products we can provide near 100% bespoke functionality at a fraction of the bespoke programming time and costs." View Press Release
