San Diego, CA, and Rochester, NY, April 14, 2008 – Printable Technologies®,
Inc., a leading provider of integrated marketing, web to print and
personalized direct marketing solutions and Kodak's Graphic Communications
Group today announced the integration of Printable's FusionPro®
Web product with the KODAK® EMS Business Software. Together,
these products help customers navigate complex environments that
include digital print workflows, fulfillment and mailing operations,
and campaign tracking and reporting.
FusionPro Web, the web to print system from Printable, delivers
online ordering and e-commerce support, mail list purchase and management,
versioned and variable documents, and job submission and file transfer
services. Leveraging a sophisticated set of web services and data
feeds, KODAK EMS Software connects easily with FusionPro Web, allowing
print service providers the flexibility to manage and deliver a
wide variety of print on demand, collateral management, and marketing
communications programs for their customers, with a high level of
integration with their business management systems.
Developed by Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group, EMS Business
Software combines the strength of a leading ERP solution with sophisticated
print-focused capabilities. EMS Software serves as a catalyst for
business optimization and growth, eliminating waste and implementing
lean business practices that maximize the success of print service
providers in a changing business environment. EMS Software offers
real-time access to business data; integrated customer and supplier
relationship management; advanced estimating and production planning;
shop floor data collection; integrated quality control and much
more.
KODAK EMS Software provides the highest degree of integration and
performance with prepress workflows through JDF connectivity. This
scalable system can drive production at a single site or be used
to link hundreds of users across multiple facilities. The core solution
enables users to manage the entire order cycle from sales through
billing; enabling continuous performance initiatives, real-time
connectivity between supply chain applications and partners, and
greater business agility.
“Bringing the FusionPro Web and EMS technologies together gives
print service providers the power to seamlessly integrate print
and business workflows to dramatically increase business efficiency
and boost profitability,” said Joe Fedor, Product Manager for Printable
Technologies. “We are pleased to integrate with EMS Business Software
and to continue our collaboration with Kodak to provide our customers
with a value-added user experience.”

The integration with FusionPro Web extends the business reach of
EMS Software to non-traditional products and services with automation
that significantly reduces the cost of online orders,” said Eliza
Leung, Product Manager for Kodak’s business workflow products. “Kodak
