March 17, 2003 Belmont, CA -- Imerge Consulting Group announces its new syndicated imaging research service for multi-clients tailored to product vendors, institutional investors, fund managers, manufacturers and component suppliers, providing the imaging industry's most affordable comprehensive package of research and intelligence.

The ICG-SRS is a yearly package of the most comprehensive reports available in the imaging industry, providing coverage of emerging market sectors and technologies. The service also provides a monthly electronic newsletter - the ICG Communiqu� that provides intelligence well beyond product announcements, bringing unparalleled, indepth insights that can only be provided by one of the most highly regarded analysts in the imaging industry. Imerge's principal analyst has been covering the digital imaging sector longer than any analyst in the industry.

The ICG-SRS also provides hourly-based analyst phone consultations that allow licensees the ability to have analyst contact anytime/anywhere within a one-hour's notice - when you need it.

As an optional service, bi-yearly in-person briefings providing an extensive overview of markets, technologies and business models are available to you and your staff.

ICG's Syndicated Research Services - What it provides

The report package is one carefully developed by Imerge to provide analysis regarding current and future interrelated products and technologies that are identified as the top global emerging growth sectors. These sectors are the current and future focus of many investors, vendors and manufacturers alike. Just as imaging was the primary driver of PC growth throughout the '90's, Imerge expects imaging to drive adoption of products and services into mass markets beyond the PC to mobile users, to mass retailers and into the home. All of Imerge's reports are focused on products or technologies that are essential components of the global consumer digital imaging franchise and play a pivotal role as enablers or facilitators of growth.
