Four Pees becomes member of the PDF/A Competence Center
Wednesday 17. February 2010 - Four Pees, an international sales and marketing organization focused on the print and publishing market has joined the PDF/A Competence Center.
So far Four Pees has been mainly active in the publishing and print market, but long term document archiving based on PDF/A has gained a lot of momentum and is touching the areas of marketing resource management and digital print production that Four Pees is already providing solutions for.
Tom Peire, CEO at Four Pees says: “To join the PDF/A Competence Center is in line with our latest strategic marketing decisions. We are constantly looking for new solutions for our customers and dealers. The PDF/A Competence center centralizes the knowledge about PDF/A and creates the necessary awareness for document archiving based on PDF/A. Four Pees joins the PDF/A Competence center so that it can help spread that knowledge to its partners and customers.”
Being a member of the Ghent PDF Workgroup, Four Pees has experience with PDF-based quality standards. While the application and the user base is somewhat different for PDF/A, there are a lot of synergies in know-how of the technology and implementation.
Thomas Zellmann, Managing Director of the PDF/A Competence Center states: “We are happy to welcome Four Pees in the PDF/A Competence Center. It proves the growing interest for and importance of PDF/A. Having an experienced sales and marketing partner as one of our members will help us gain even more momentum and reach out to markets such as those of digital print and marketing management solutions.”
Four Pees aims at bringing cost efficient automation and quality optimization technologies to the print and publishing market. In the last year the Four Pees team has more than doubled to a team of 12 professionals working in marketing, sales and professional services.
Especially in sales, Four Pees has expanded its activities appointing Ivan Duprez as Global Sales Director and Christophe Gronier as Sales Manager Southern Europe confirming Four Pees strategy to build a local presence in different international territories.
