Zevrix Updates BatchOutput Server for InDesign, Improves Hotfolder Setup

Zevrix Solutions announces BatchOutput Server 4.6.3, a feature update to its output workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. BatchOutput Server completely automates InDesign output workflow by processing files from hotfolders. The software offloads printing and exporting to a central system leaving operator workstations free from the output process. The new update allows users to reset location of output folder with a click of a button helping save time and avoid redundant steps.

Toronto (ON), Canada, December 14, 2010 — Zevrix Solutions today released BatchOutput Server 4.6.3, a feature update to its powerful output workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Originally developed for a major magazine publisher in the United States to free up their operator computers from outputting InDesign files, the software automates InDesign workflow by processing files from hotfolders. The software offloads printing and exporting to PDF and PostScript to a central system leaving operator workstations free from the output process.

The new update was released as a result of user feedback following Zevrix policy to implement customer requests as quickly as possible. It includes only one but important new feature which allows users to reset location of output folder to its default value with just a click of a button, helping save time and avoid redundant steps.

“BatchOutput Server is an extremely useful utility for a busy production facility or advertising agency”, writes David Creamer in Layers magazine, “It can save lots of time – which equates to money.”

BatchOutput Server runs on a standalone Macintosh system that has InDesign installed. Under BatchOutput Server workflow, production artists and prepress operators simply submit InDesign files to hotfolders that reside on the network. BatchOutput Server automatically outputs the files from its dedicated station using hotfolder settings, and will auto-activate document fonts as well. Operator workstations will never again be tied up by the output process. The workflow also ensures that correct output settings will be always used.

BatchOutput Server offers the following major features and benefits:
-Process InDesign files automatically from hotfolders
-Export files as single pages
-Update modified links automatically
-Assign complex variable output file names
-Auto-activate document fonts
-Automatic e-mail notifications of process stages and errors
-Detailed processing logs and visual file tracking
-Easy to install and set up

BatchOutput is also available in a single user version to automate printing and exporting from InDesign on individual stations.

Pricing and Availability:
BatchOutput Server can be purchased from Zevrix web site for US$699.95, as well as from authorized resellers. Trial is also available for download. The update is free for licensed users. BatchOutput Server is a Universal Binary, runs on Mac OS X 10.4.2-10.6 and works with Adobe InDesign CS2-CS5.

Groupflier Rolls Out Free Group Texting Service, Compatible with Any Cell Phone Platform

GroupFlier today announced the release of its free group text messaging service. GroupFlier allows any community of friends – club, team, class, party, clique, campaign, family – to use a single number for group texting.

Bethesda, MD, December 10, 2010 — GroupFlier today announced the release of its free group text messaging service. GroupFlier ( http://www.groupflier.com ) allows any community of friends – club, team, class, party, clique, campaign, family – to use a single number for group texting.

“We are social texting,” said Morris Panner, GroupFlier CEO. “Texting is the perfect way to communicate one-to-one, but unless everyone is on the same service, communicate as group.”

With GroupFlier, each group receives it’s own unique texting number so it’s is easy for any member to send a text to the group.

Soon to come is geo-location integration so group members can check in and know where they are in relation to each other. The group texting number can also serve as a conference call party number for the group.

GroupFlier will also add software that can be installed on any smartphone, so that users won’t need to maintain a texting plan to use the service.

GroupFlier ( http://www.groupflier.com ) is compatible with all devices and platforms, whether it be a Blackberry, Android, iPhone or old Nokia, as well as supporting any service plans by AT&T, Verizon or a phone card. GroupFlier gives a group the flexibility to communicate freely.

“People are searching for a better way to communicate and form community,” Panner said. “New technologies let them do it and let them unhook from the single providers, whether that be the phone company or Facebook.”

Panner is an experienced software entrepreneur who two years ago sold his last company, OpenAir, a business process software company, to NetSuite, Larry Ellison’s on-demand software company.

GroupFlier ( http://www.groupflier.com ) caught the attention of one of DC’s hottest VC firms, Novak Biddle, which funded Panner and his team earlier this year.

GroupFlier ( http://www.groupflier.com ) also has intrigued the political set in DC. “This solves a huge problem for campaigns and field operations,” said Dick Keil, media strategist with PurpleConsulting and a former White House correspondent who covered the 2004 Presidential campaign. “Communication is the life blood of a campaign, everyone is on a different system, you just can’t move resources fast enough. With GroupFlier, a campaign can get every volunteer on message just like that. IIt is a huge competitive advantage.”

The 7 Effects of Cloud Computing on Analytics

ABIBA Systems recently conducted a workshop on ‘Advanced Analytics & Cloud Computing’ which was attended by engineering students, faculty and research scholars from all over India. During the work shop, Senthil Nathan, Marketing Manager, ABIBA Systems mentioned that Gartner has listed Cloud Computing and Analytics as the top 2 strategic technological areas for 2010. Analytics implementation in organizations will undergo a paradigm shift due to cloud computing.

Senthil Nathan further discussed about the impact of cloud computing and analytics. As per his discussion analytics landscape would undergo the following changes due to cloud computing

  • Increased Analytics Adoption – More users who could not deploy analytics because of its high infrastructure costs will now start to embrace it .
  • Reduced project timelines – Increased Accessibility to infrastructure like high speed RAM, increased memory for large data storage
  • Increased ROI – Reduced capital expenditure due to pay as you use mode and reduced project duration.
  • Opting for Analytics Software – More companies who were outsourcing analytics to service providers because of the high software costs will now opt for analytics software in SaaS model.
  • Rise of Domain specific BI & Analytics Software – Domain specific software will have an advantage over generic BI & Analytics software since customization is costly over the cloud.
  • Size advantage will diminish – Cloud computing increases accessibility for small and large BI & Analytics software vendors alike. Hence the size advantage will diminish.
  • Paradigm shift in Analytics Methodology – Some procedures which were earlier carried out due to the limitation in infrastructure for e.g. sampling might see their prominence diminished.

Post the workshop the students were briefed about the expectations from the IT industry and were advised on how to equip themselves to meet the rising expectations. The workshop was well received by the audience.
