IfrExpo, October 16th, 2006:
ProImage (www.newsway.com) has today announced that it is to strengthen its sales and support in northern Europe with the appointment of Next Solutions BV (www.next-solutions.nl) as its representative in Benelux. Next Solutions is based in Mijdrecht, The Netherlands.

Next Solutions' founder and CEO Jos Pastoors said, "We are delighted to have been chosen by ProImage to represent its industry-leading software. Publishers' businesses are changing rapidly and the need for production efficiency is more important than ever. We believe that ProImage's flexible workflow and production tracking solutions are exactly what newspapers need to manage production efficiently, and to be better informed."

ProImage provides workflow solutions to many of the world's best known newspapers including USA TODAY, San Francisco Chronicle, Trinity Mirror Printing, Le Soir and the Bold Printing Group.

"Scalability and ability to drive almost any output device is important for all newspapers," says Izzet Edige, ProImage Europe. "It also means that they are not tied-in to any one hardware manufacturer. While our software provides the integration and helps to manage and maximize the performance of the other production systems installed, Benelux publishers will now benefit from the local knowledge and skills that Next Solutions' people will provide."

ProImage's NewsWay software accepts files from editorial and advertising systems, will integrate with existing planning software or generate its own edition plans, automatically assemble pages ready for proofing or plate-making, keeps track of progress against schedule, applies page furniture, barcodes and crop marks, load balances output devices (proofers, film or CtP), and provides data to punch benders and plate sorters as well as ink values to press control systems. "It is an easy-to-use, total end-to-end production management and tracking solution, and because it's browser- based people can see and control production form anywhere," adds Mr. Edige. "We welcome Next Solutions to our customer centric team."
