Press release from the issuing company

August 13, 2007 -- Printable Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of Integrated Marketing, Web to Print, and Personalized Direct Marketing Solutions, today announced the availability of the next generation of the company's integration tools that streamline interfaces with corporate ERP or CRM applications and print MIS or fulfillment solutions. The addition of these tools brings the total web services and data feeds to twenty.
"Our latest generation of Web Services offers our customers the ability to interface with virtually every aspect of the Printable Technologies system from their back-office systems", said Josh Roach, Chief Technical Officer, Printable Technologies. "Anything that you can type into, import into, or export from our system can also be done programmatically through our Web Services, through virtually any language and operating system."
New Web Services
- Single Sign-On - a new and improved single sign-on is available that allows the ability to pass along user-specific credentials such as User ID and Password information as well as important "order time" information including ship-to and bill-to information, user group associations, and text profile attributes, as well as cost center identification.
- Create and Edit Existing Products - A call that allows for easier synchronization of products between unique systems. This web service automates activities that previously had to be performed manually via the Manager.
- Get Order - Offers the same functionality as the Sales Work Order Data Feed in a web service format so that the user can call the service at anytime and automate the call via the client rather than be limited to a set schedule.
