HELIOS announces remote collaboration solution at drupa 2008
Monday 26. May 2008 - HELIOS Software will show its all new Web based "Drag & Drop" workflow solution for remote collaborations with customers and service providers at drupa 2008 (hall 9 booth #E23). New extensions for QuarkXPress and Adobe InDesign support real time synchronization of layout documents between the main production server and remote sites. HELIOS special seminars at drupa 2008 will offer in-depth information for customers and prospects.
HELIOS Software GmbH, a leading developer of cross-platform networking, PDF, and image server solutions for Mac, Windows, and web clients, will present the new HELIOS WebShare UB+ enhancement WebShare Manager at drupa 2008 (hall 9 booth #E23). Remote collaborators and service providers can “Drag & Drop” images and other layout objects straight from the web browser into Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress documents. The WebShare Manager and related program extensions handle the download and update of the high resolution images behind the scenes. This new collaboration technique will be a great time and cost saver as there is no need to log in to a central server via FTP or VPN, select a range of images, compress, download, and finally locally uncompress and place them.
HELIOS WebShare Manager can be configured to automatically synchronize all layout assets for a production document that are loaded via “Drag & Drop”. As soon as a file is modified on the central server, it will be downloaded by the remote WebShare Manager. Even the synchronization of files modified locally with the main server will be possible. Using HELIOS WebShare Manager for data synchronization and distribution will reduce project related communication to a large extent.
HELIOS Software will offer a range of short seminars at drupa 2008, that give more detailed information about the new features and related benefits. The “Customer retention using WebShare” seminar will present how to collaborate with remote customers, contractors and employees worldwide to increase productivity using the new Web-based DTP “Drag & Drop” workflow with synchronization. It will also discuss implementing Web-based remote file distribution, and image and document proofing processes. Advance online registration at http://www.helios.de/news/drupa/seminar-registration.phtml is strongly recommended.
