Hybrid Software has expanded its product portfolio with the addition of Cloudflow Share, a method of transferring digital data between sites.
Cloudflow Share will be an add-on to the Cloudflow workspace and will provide the ability to link different systems to transfer jobs, files, licences, users, workflows etc. The new software works with systems that share a database, but also with completely independent systems operating separate databases to allow the use of lower bandwidth Internet links.
The software has been created following a request from Hybrid customer Brand Quadergy, a leading European supplier of brand asset management services.
Erik de Cloe, COO of DSN, a subsidiary of Brand Quardergy, said, ‘We were an early user of Hybrid’s PACKZ and have its Cloudflow workspace and Proofscope remote proofing software in use at our premises in Belgium, Germany and Bulgaria. At present we transfer files between sites, including those we operate in the UK, France and Czech Republic, using self-developed tools that are triggered by our ERP system.
‘However, we need a more efficient and transparent method of handling data, preferably one that doesn’t require high investment in expensive leased lines. As we have a close working relationship with Hybrid we spoke to them about what we wanted. Hybrid is a company that listens and we were soon in detailed discussions! The result is Cloudflow Share, which will be implemented early in 2016 at our sites in Belgium, Germany and Bulgaria.’
