PROOF-it-ONLINE (www.proofitonline.com), the leading provider of online proofing and approval management solutions, today announced the release of Agility, the company’s new enterprise solution. Agility meets the specific proof approval needs of enterprise level creative services companies, which require a high-volume, integrated, custom approval technology. Agility is a flexible solution designed to integrate with existing enterprise applications and workflows, while offering high volume content-uploading capabilities, scalability, and the robust customizable features needed to efficiently manage the approval process and streamline workflow processes.
Companies in the creative services industry, such as Agencies, Printers, Publishers, Graphic Designers, Ad Specialty Providers and Corporate Marketing and Communications Departments, have begun adopting software and system options to enhance existing infrastructure and workflow management applications. This trend, combined with the viability of the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, has led PROOF-it-ONLINE to realize a significant increase in the number of businesses searching for enterprise-level proofing and approval management solutions that meet their needs today and into the future.
“Companies have made investments in print management and ad insertion solutions as well as order entry systems,” said Victor Watts, PROOF-it-ONLINE’s senior vice president of sales. “In order to complement and streamline existing workflow, and help our customers leverage their investments in current technology, PROOF-it-ONLINE developed an enterprise approval management solution that seamlessly integrates with their existing applications.”
Kym Thill, advertising integration specialist for The Arizona Republic Newspaper and AZcentral.com, commented, “With our new online proofing solution (ShoomProof powered by PROOF-it-ONLINE) integrated into our existing ad management system, overall workflow has become significantly more effective. We are seeing a marked efficiency on the sides of both our artists and our advertisers – both are responding to their proofs and taking action in a much timelier manner. There is a definite time savings in the processing of each ad.”
In support of PROOF-it-ONLINE’s rollout of Agility, the company has hired additional staff, including senior implementation manager, Chris Koury. “With the increase in adoption that we are seeing, and in order to ensure a smooth integration of our new solution with our customers’ existing systems, Chris Koury has joined our team to work directly with enterprise customers,” Watts stated. “Chris brings more than twenty years experience as a publishing and creative services industries veteran, further enabling us to assist our customers with technical issues and facilitate on-boarding needs.”
Agility’s capability to integrate enables companies to streamline the approval process by pulling approval data into multiple workflow applications for collaboration, production and tracking purposes. Through an automated process, valuable, detailed information such as contact data, proof content, filenames, deadlines, approval timestamps and statuses can be shared between systems.
Agility is offered as a hosted solution on PROOF-it-ONLINE’s application servers or on a dedicated server at PROOF-it-ONLINE’s data center. Pricing is based on volume with no significant costs in training or implementation.
Established in 2000, PROOF-it-ONLINE offers online creative approval management solutions to facilitate efficiency and productivity in the creative approval process. To date, more than 20,000 companies have used the PROOF-it-ONLINE hosted application, on both the proof posting and reviewer sides, which is widely recognized for its ease of use and integration. PROOF-it-ONLINE’s web-hosted solution enables clients to see proofs in color, mark/edit proofs in their browser, easily approve proofs, and deliver approval to the creative professional in minutes. PROOF-it-ONLINE was selected by the Council for Entrepreneurial Development, one of the nation’s premier technology groups, as one of the Hottest 25 Technologies in 2005.
