Aleyant to Showcase Web-to-Print Integration with HP SmartStream at Dscoop9

Monday 10. March 2014 - Automatically send jobs, metadata from Pressero Web-to-Print Storefronts to HP SmartStream

Aleyant Systems today announced that it has completed the integration of its Pressero web-to-print storefront solution with HP’s SmartStream workflow using Aleyant’s Automated Workflow Integrator (AWI). The company will showcase this integration with live demonstrations at Dscoop9, scheduled for March 6-8 in Orlando. Aleyant Systems will be located in booth 701 at Dscoop. Aleyant Systems is an innovative leader in providing robust web-to-print e-commerce and online design software solutions to the graphic communications industry at value-driven prices.
“We have integrated Pressero with a wide range of third-party solutions,” said Greg Salzman, President of Aleyant Systems. “This latest integration will enable Pressero users to automatically route jobs from their Pressero storefront to the HP SmartStream interface. Jobs will be properly configured via JDF for seamless entry into the SmartStream workflow including important information such as quantity, required stock, customer information, and other job characteristics. We are thrilled to be able to bring this capability to Pressero customers who use HP Indigo presses and to be able to show it live to Dscoop attendees with a direct connection to the on-site HP SmartStream Production Center.”
Pressero Web-to-Print
Pressero from Aleyant Systems is an affordable and easy-to-use cloud-based B2B and B2C online storefront solution that can quickly and easily be customized to individual client and market needs. Because it is delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS), it has a pay-as-you-go model that involves limited up-front costs. Pressero includes eDocBuilder, a web-based variable data publishing and design online system. eDocBuilder can also be integrated into third-party web-to-print or MIS solutions. It features advanced typography control, imposition, scripting support, PDF workflows, rapid template creation, InDesign plug-in support, Excel merge capabilities and more. Aleyant’s Automated Workflow Integrator (AWI) connects the cloud-based stores with the pre-press department, making online operations as streamlined and affordable as possible. Examples of applications for AWI’s rules-based approach include automating processes for file renaming for workflows that have strict file naming conventions, automatically unzipping zipped files, or sending files and metadata directly to a RIP for processing, eliminating multiple steps in the workflow.
