NEW YORK, NY and SOLON, OH - November 2, 2006 - Digital Railroad, Inc., a leading provider of Web-based application services for the professional photography industry, and JaincoTech, the recognized leader in integrated digital imaging services, today announced a partnership to provide Digital Railroad members with the highest quality keywording and outsourced image processing services.  Keywording solutions will help Digital Railroad members increase search accuracy, while image processing services, including scanning, and retouching, will allow members to focus on what they do best - creating new images and marketing their collections efficiently.

The companies will work together closely to streamline Digital Railroad members’ workflow efficiencies to ensure a timely search result experience for buyers across the Digital Railroad network.  Digital Railroad members will also have access to special discounts on JaincoTech’s industry-standard services.

“We are impressed with JaincoTech’s quality services and look forward to providing keywording and scanning solutions to our members,” said Evan Nisselson, Digital Railroad CEO/Founder and professional photographer.

Digital Railroad is committed to providing members with direct access to premium services that minimize production time while maximizing sales potential.  JaincoTech’s services will help ensure photo buyers can easily find the images they are looking for. 

“Our partnership with Digital Railroad comes at a time when readily-available image processing services are a necessity to meet the ever-growing demand for new content; most importantly the need to easily digitize and quickly find these images,” said Gautam Pai, JaincoTech Engagement Manager.  “We see the tremendous benefit in enabling Digital Railroad members to focus on marketing their collections without having to manage the back-end image production. We’re very excited.”
