Pageflex, a division of Bitstream Inc., and Avanti Computer Systems , a leading provider of print MIS solutions for the graphic arts industry, announced at On Demand the integration of two award-winning technologies: Avanti’s Graphic Arts Management System and Pageflex Storefront Web-to-print software. This comprehensive solution provides a complete, streamlined workflow from online document customization and ordering in Pageflex Storefront through the print production environment to for printing, finishing and shipment. The first Avanti customer to implement the integrated technology is Associates Graphic Services, a world-class print provider.

"One of the greatest challenges facing print shops today is eliminating the re-entry of data as a job makes its way through the shop.

"Printers that used to take days to get a job out of the shop can now commit to same-day delivery from receipt to execution."

Pageflex Storefront is a turn-key software product that enables customers to define, auto-generate and manage attractive Web-to-print document customization sites for print and cross media campaign ordering and e-commerce.
