Aleyant Systems and Printers Software Announce Integration
Thursday 10. December 2009 - Partnership Addresses Maturing Web-to-Print Market with Affordable Implementation and Sophisticated Integration
Aleyant Systems and Printers Software Inc today announced the completion of an integration between Aleyant Systems’ Pressero web-to-print solution and Printers Software Inc’s Presidio print management information system (MIS). Aleyant Systems is a leading provider of advanced web-based platforms for the graphic communications industry. Printers Software Inc is a leading provider of print MIS since 1979.
“We began this integration effort at the request of a specific customer,” said Greg Salzman, President. “We have now productized the integration in partnership with Printers Software, and it is a force multiplier in terms of productivity.” Salzman explains that an order entered through Pressero will automatically show up in Presidio MIS. When Presidio MIS reflects a status change, that information passes back to Pressero so customer service representatives or customers themselves can easily see the status of a job throughout the entire process.
Pressero is a web-to-print solution delivered in a hosted model at an affordable price. A basic implementation includes full use of the robust Pressero system and allows printers to quickly deploy an easy-to-use feature-rich web-based customer interface. Systems add-ons include custom interfaces and integration with workflow and other business systems.
Pressero includes eDocBuilder, an easy-to-use, template based variable data application that allows customers to quickly and easily customize, proof, and approve variable data documents, including business cards, brochures and more, directly from a web browser, sending an imposed press-ready PDF file to the print service provider when the order is placed. This minimizes manual intervention and speeds variable data jobs to production using an industry-standard PDF workflow. The intuitive interface allows fast order entry and its robust scripting language enables a variety of intelligent responses based on user input.
Printers Software’s Presidio MIS is modular and scalable to meet a printer’s unique needs. Applications include estimating, job costing, job tracking, accounting, purchasing, inventory and fulfillment. “Each module can operate as a standalone or they can be fully integrated in any combination to match the customer’s specific needs,” said Nick Grieco, Partner at Printers Software. “Now, with full integration to Pressero, we are able to extend a streamlined workflow through to the customer, taking time and cost out of the process while eliminating errors due to the need to reenter data. Working with Greg and his team was a delight, and we look forward to doing more business together for the benefit of our mutual customers.”
The integration is available immediately.
