If you know Jim Collins, Simon Anderson and the rest of the crew at Pictage along with Andrew and Rachel Niesen at ShootQ, then you know this is a very cool thing involving some great people.  And, if you don’t know the players then you’ll just have to trust me! 

The first paragraph of the press release pretty much says it all, but here’s the link to the full story.

“Pictage, the leading professional photographer community and platform for marketing, selling and fulfilling professional photo products, today announced the acquisition of ShootQ, a web-based software company offering the industry’s most advanced business management solution. The combination of Pictage and ShootQ will create the first comprehensive platform for photographers to manage their workflow, promote their brand, connect with community, and sell their work.”

Congrats to everyone involved – it’s a great match!
