Dave Slaughter, marketing director and company founder, told XBiz the launch of Version 2 was inspired by requests from new client Larry Flynt Publications, asking for features such as password administration and a controllable recycle bin.
“We took their requests under consideration and then re-worked the software,” Slaughter told XBiz, adding that one of the most important aspects of My2257 Version 2 is that it is simple to use.
“It’s all Windows-based, so if you can use a mouse and a keyboard, you can use our software,” he said. “You don’t need to be a Unix technician to run the system.”
The new version of My2257 features a full user name password system through which administrator and user levels can be assigned; the recycle bin can only be emptied by the network administrator, to avoid what Slaughter calls “rogue” employees or any number of human-error mistakes; and the software is suitable for both small companies that don’t need multiple databases or larger, more corporately-structured networks.
Slaughter added that the enhanced network version also allows for clustering of servers.
“You can have redundant backup to multiple servers,” he said. “Should the feds seize the server in your office, you’ve still got offsite backups.”
Other changes include live updates and a feature called My2257 Custodian that only displays the items required by 2257 section 75.2, sections A-E: the legal name of talent, date of birth, picture identification, distribution of images, depiction of images and all content the talent appears in.
After launching the beta version of My2257 software in November of last year and then making a hard launch in May, the company is planning for a major facelift of its site with the release of Version 2 and a training and promotional DVD that will help walk users through the new version.
Other My2257 clients include Danni’s Harddrive, MaxCash, Bondage.com and Penthouse.
