Innovation, Growth, Geographic Expansion Mark First Decade

Wheaton, Illinois – Aleyant, an innovative leader in providing robust software services to the graphic communications industry at value-driven prices, today announced it is celebrating its 10th anniversary, having been founded in April of 2005. The company, formerly known as Aleyant Systems, is honoring its first decade in business with the launch of a fresh, modern logo and a forward-looking strategy where making printing companies around the world successful with cloud-based services remains front and center.

“Ten years has gone by quickly,” said Greg Salzman, President of Aleyant. “When I founded the company a decade ago, I simply wanted to address what I saw as a gap in the marketplace and new opportunities offered for printing companies by the emergence of cloud-based computing. It is gratifying to have that path validated, and I extend my warm personal thanks to the Aleyant team and all of our wonderful customers for helping me make this vision a reality.”

Celebratory Promotions

To further celebrate its 10th anniversary, Aleyant will be making a number of promotions available throughout the balance of the year, primarily through its social media channels, including Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook. The first promotion is immediately available: The first 10 new customers who purchase Aleyant Pressero™, beginning April 1, 2015, will receive a free, “instant” B2C storefront (see the content at MyOwnPrintShop.com) and a free B2B sales tool and “RedFrog” demonstration storefront. These have a combined $1,500 value! “Stay tuned for more exciting offers,” Salzman added.

New Branding and Logo

Aleyant’s new branding and logo reflect a clean, simple and sophisticated design that honor its roots in sheet-fed printing but also give recognition to the industry’s digital transformation. The company will be launching an updated Aleyant.com website later this year as part of the rebranding.

Major Milestones

Over the past decade, Aleyant has achieved a number of major milestones that have led to its ability today to provide affordable and innovative solutions combined with exceptional customer service and support, a winning combination. These include:

Voice of the Customer
The Aleyant team has always been customer-focused and has a reputation for fast response times, proactive updates and the ability to help customers grow their businesses through the use of our flexible, affordable solutions. Here is a sampling of what our customers have to say:

“When we started using Pressero, we were a relatively small company with one facility management site,” said Patrick Buxton, Director of IT at DigiCOPY. “Pressero allowed us to offer a great service to an important customer, and then leverage that to sell a similar service to others and scale the business.”

"We have been with Aleyant since it started back in 2005,” said Bruce Pederson, Owner of Tiger Printing Group. “The company has been a great partner for us. Not only has Pressero helped us to expand our digital short-run department, but it has also enabled us to secure a number of large corporate clients that we would likely have been unable to serve in the past."

"For the past 7 years Mimeo has relied on eDocBuilder as our integrated VDP solution. During that time, we have expanded our business globally and Aleyant's scalable platform has successfully grown with us. Congratulations to Greg and the Aleyant team for 10 years of providing great software to the print industry." - David Uyttendaele, CTO, Mimeo Inc.
