Press release from the issuing company

San Rafael, CA (January 5, 2009) –Streamline Solutions is pleased to announce an agreement with ixact GmbH of Germany. This agreement adds JDF/JMF functionality to the PrintStream business and production management software for printing, mailing and fulfillment companies. Through the use of the ixact component ixFrame/DB, all necessary tasks for creating and interpreting the JDF & JMF files, and facilitating the communications between printing equipment and the corresponding PrintStream application will be managed.
