Besides the immediate value of having the company digitize DIMOC’s vast amounts of media,


its development of new


capabilities will also benefit the government over time. “Every time T3Media enhances their delivery platform for another customer like Paramount or MGM or NCAA, we are the ben- eficiary of that change, that update, that refresh,” said COL Bernard F. Koelsch, director of defense visual information for DMA and DOD.


Still, “Te greatest benefit of this contracting approach is enabling access to all types of media that would have otherwise been locked away and, in the case of aging files, potentially lost forever,” Cardello said.


“Tere’s a lot of history,” Edrington said. “It’s not just celebrities such as Elvis Presley … we’ve got that kind of stuff. But more importantly, we’ve got Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines doing what they do—this is for future use by our children.”


DIMOC continues to receive new images from DOD offices, by choice. “We want the material. If they find it, we want it,” Edrington said.
