Center for Digital Imaging,
Inc. (CDI) is dedicated to the concept that digital workflow
should be a process, not just a group of applications.

|
Without a solid sense of process control and workflow
management, content creators risk loss of revenue over
issues that have nothing to do with the quality of work
delivered.
Our unique background in all aspects of digital imaging
and information systems has allowed our clients to take
full advantage of strategies for capture, viewing, organization,
manipulation, and distribution of digital assets without
sacrificing quality or creativity. |

We specialize
in making sense of the complex, real world multi-vendor
environment.
CDI does not advocate a turnkey solution.
With hands-on experience with virtually all current
digital cameras, computers, software and output devices,
we are able to give clients very objective opinions
on choosing and integrating the right technology.

Our consulting
philosophy has always been based on development of
specific solutions tailored to an individual client's
needs.

problems through analysis of current workflow and proposal
of new techniques.

Scott Geffert
Scott Geffert is a recognized
leader in the electronic imaging field. His involvement in the sales and marketing
of electronic imaging stems from his creation of
the country’s first digital photography showroom
in 1989 as a division of Ken Hansen Photographic.
This operation experienced rapid growth and over
a three year period went from 0 to 3.8 million dollars
in sales. Ken Hansen Imaging was widely recognized
as the leader in this very new market by the major
manufacturers of imaging equipment and the international
photographic press.

Scott, formally educated in photography
at the Rochester Institute of Technology, has been involved
with Macintosh computers since 1984, but more importantly, his working knowledge
of a wide range of imaging applications has been acquired
via employment experiences, including seven years of experience
in a professional photographic lab, three years with a leading
international lighting manufacturer, one year at a major
national computer reseller, freelance photography, freelance
computer consulting, and advertising design. This wide variety
of employment experiences has given Scott a unique end-user
related perspective of the technology field.
The skills that Scott brings to the
table are the ability to communicate the virtues of high
technology systems and applications to people regardless
of their own particular field of interest and experience. Scott has a knack for reducing
an elusive and daunting amount of technical information to
simple plain terms that anyone can understand, thus he has
proven to be effective communicating solutions that solve
problems.
Howard Goldstein
Howard Goldstein has been in the professional
photography field for over 26 years in various capacities. Howard
started out selling equipment for one of the world's
top professional photography equipment retailers,
where his customers included many of photography's
top pros, who relied on Howard for his technical
expertise and exceptional service.
In 1991, Howard changed directions and entered
the computer field, selling Apple computers in the
corporate graphics arena. One year later,
Calumet Professional Imaging, an international photographic
equipment retailer, offered the opportunity to start
up an Electronic Imaging division in New York. Howard
then moved on to Ken Hansen Imaging, and quickly
became a key player, racking up $1million in sales
the first year, setting up the KHI Web site, and
spearheading such projects as KHI's involvement in
the 24 Hours in Cyberspace project.

 Today Howard and his partner, Scott
Geffert, are the principles in the Center for Digital Imaging,
Inc. (CDI), an international consulting organization that
specializes in solutions for imaging workflows. For ten years,
CDI has been on the forefront in aiding Fortune 500 corporations
and leading cultural institutions to migrate their business
practices to digital content creation, digital asset management
and storage, and multi-purpose distribution. The technologies
have caught up with what CDI was sure of 10 years ago; digital
imaging is high quality, more productive and efficient than
the analog film process, and is more economical over the
long-term.
