Wheaton, IL — Aleyant, an innovative leader in providing robust software services to the graphic communications industry at value-driven prices, today reported that the Creative Services Department at the University of Wisconsin Parkside has implemented Aleyant Pressero™ with its built-in Aleyant eDocBuilder™ VDP and personalization system to better serve its campus customers. Creative Services had been offering web-to-print services for some time, but with limited adoption within the community. Creative Services Manager, Don Lintner, decided to look for a new web-to-print solution to enable the department to take advantage of the many technological advancements in the world of web-to-print. He wanted to provide internal customers with a more intuitive and flexible user interface while also improving back-end operations.

After a thorough market review, Creative Services chose Aleyant Pressero. Lintner adds, “The cost is about the same as our previous solution, but Pressero offers significantly more flexibility for both our users and our shop workflow. We now manage orders across the board through Pressero, including graphic design; instructional support such as course packs, exams and handouts; large format signs and display graphics; photography; and video and multimedia.”

With the implementation of Aleyant Pressero, Creative Services has improved productivity and service levels, and now receives almost all of its work via the system, with an average of 400 jobs per month being processed. One example of improved productivity and cycle time enabled by Aleyant Pressero is the ordering and production of business cards and stationery. “Using the Aleyant eDocBuilder variable data capability included with Pressero,” Lintner explains, “our customers can quickly and easily update or reorder these products online.  While our previous solution had a template capability, it was so complicated that hardly anyone used it. Customers would submit orders, and someone in the design group had to lay out each business card or letterhead.  eDocBuilder took all of that work off of our shoulders, enabling our designers to spend their time doing real design work!”

The University also uses Aleyant Pressero to manage outsourced print work and takes advantage of its advanced reporting capabilities for more efficiency in administrative tasks such as billing.
