OTTAWA, ON--(Marketwire - February 18, 2009) - GridIron Software, the leading
provider of workflow and performance tools for creative professionals,
today announced that the highly anticipated GridIron Flow
public beta is now available for Mac users to download, with the
Windows version coming shortly. The product eliminates the daily
administrative drudgery and file searching that slows the creative process
by allowing users to track everything that goes into a project, from idea
to end result.
"This is a great day for us. Flow took longer to develop than we thought it
would, but we are committed to doing whatever it takes to deliver a tool
that will really make a difference in the way
creative professionals work," said Steve Forde, president of GridIron
Software. "With Flow, users will spend less time looking for files and have
more time to focus on what they do best -- creating excellent work."
The thousands of people who have already registered for the public beta
will now be able to experience how GridIron Flow can keep them streamlined
and informed. For the first time, users can see how all the pieces of a
project fit together, in one simple, elegant interface whether they are
using tools such as Adobe Creative Suite, Apple Final Cut Studio, Microsoft
Office or other software. Flow provides a unique and total understanding of
each project being worked on and allows users to track all the components
of a project, regardless of where the files are located. With instant
access to any file or version needed, creative professionals can get a lot
more done in a lot less time -- without having to do anything differently.
Key
features of the product include:
-- Workflow Maps - See all the files in a project and how they're
connected to each other, whether they are online or offline
-- Real-time Asset Tracking - Invisibly track the connections
between project files as changes are made, updating the Workflow Map even
if Flow is not running
-- Visual Versioning - Instantly access the complete history of a
file and revert to any version anytime
-- Visual Search - Find anything, even if it's offline, and see how it
fits into the project being worked on
-- Foolproof Packaging - Gather all files, versions and fonts,
regardless of the application, to hand off a project
-- Time Tracking - Automatically record how much time is spent on a
file, series of files or a project
-- Custom Tags - Stay organized in a simple, visual way
-- Tabs and Bookmarks - Juggle multiple projects effortlessly
"I've been anxiously awaiting GridIron Flow since the first time I heard
about it," said Deke McClelland,
industry veteran and leading Photoshop expert. "Utterly unlike anything out
there, Flow is one of those rare products that's destined to find a home on
every creative professional's hard drive. Routinely use multiple
applications to craft your projects? Have several projects going on at the
same time? Flow won't just streamline your workflow, it'll save your
sanity."
