tribalmedia Acquires Tribeworks' iShell
August 11th, 2006
tribalmedia announced this week that they have acquired the media software suite iShell from Tribeworks, and will immediately begin marketing, selling, and supporting iShell.
Matt Veenstra, president and head engineer of tribalmedia, has served as head engineer of Tribeworks for the past five years. According to Veenstra, Tribeworks' current support and engineering teams will make up tribalmediaÕs core team. "This is a great move for everyone involved," Veenstra said. "iShell is the primary authoring tool for many developers all over the world, and now iShell is supported by a company that intimately understands and cares about the needs of the iShell user base."
iShell is a software tool for Windows and Mac OS X that allows developers to rapidly create secure, interactive, multiplatform CD and DVD-ROMs. The product is also used to create other types of multimedia applications such as kiosks, digital signage, and standalone Internet applications. A descendant of the Apple Media Tool, iShell has long been promoted as an easy-to-use, versatile alternative to Director and similar tools.
tribalmedia's engineering team is available for custom work in interactive media and multimedia software development. Boasting clients like Palm, Apple, and Anderson Consulting, tribalmedia's engineers are widely regarded as experts in media and software.
