GridIron Flow Showcased at NAB on Mac OS X and Windows

Award-Winning Software For Creative Pros To Be Priced At $349

NAB 2008, LAS VEGAS, Nev.,– April 14, 2008 – GridIron® Software
today announced that GridIron Flow software is now undergoing
beta testing with a select group of creative professionals and
is being demonstrated this week on both Mac OS X and Windows at
the NAB Show (booth SL6220) from April 14-17.  Flow is a
revolutionary new approach to workflow management for creative
pros that dramatically simplifies the design process for print,
web, film, and video projects. This award-winning software will
be available later this summer and will be priced starting at
US$349. Creative professionals interested in finding out more
about Flow and participating in the beta program are encouraged
to register at www.gridironsoftware.com.

“Since launching Flow in January we’ve received tremendous
interest from creative pros in every segment of the market,”
said Steve Forde, CEO of GridIron Software. “We are excited to
be getting it into the hands of professionals for some
real-world testing and look forward to making it broadly
available later this Spring.”

Flow automatically tracks your work allowing you to instantly
see the relationships between all your assets in your most
complex projects—all without changing the way you work.  Flow
uses sophisticated Real-Time Asset Tracking technology to record
all Import/Export, Save/Save As, and Copy/Paste actions in a
project. It understands the file formats for virtually all
creative professional applications, including those from Apple
and Adobe, and maintains the relationships between stills, movies,
sound clips, fonts, plug-ins, and color swatches on all local,
network, and removable storage devices.  Flow provides an
intuitive user interface to display this information and delivers
a rich set of features including:

* Workflow Maps—show the files used in a project and how they are
connected to one another as they move from application to
application including all related assets, fonts, color swatches,
plug-ins and even internal file structure like comps and layers.
They are updated in real-time as you work.

* Visual Search—searches for internal file details such as layer
names, plug-ins, fonts, or colors, and Flow will instantly
highlight how and where those elements are used in your workflow.

* Project Time Tracking—automatically records how much time was
spent creating one file, a series of files or an entire project.

* Project Packages—provide a point in time snapshot of any
project and capture everything that went into its creation,
including media files, fonts, color swatches, applications and
plug-ins. Project Packages include a Workflow Map showing how
everything fits together so that everything needed to hand it
off and reconstruct it later will be there.

* Visual Versions—automatically tracks versions of files,
including thumbnails and metadata, as a project evolves allowing
users to easily revert to a previous version of a file anywhere
in their workflow.

* Tags and Annotations—add customized tags and annotations to
assets or projects to support your own business processes.  View
existing file metadata with support for metadata standards like
DICOM, EXIF, IPTC and XMP.

* Flow SDK—offered to tool vendors to easily create custom
extensions to support their file formats and add new functionality
to the Flow environment.

Pricing & Availability

Flow will be available this summer for Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard
and for Windows XP and Vista for US$349 per seat. Volume pricing
