Esko has announced the launch of its Software Suite release 14.1, a comprehensive update of its full Suite of software solutions. Besides a range of functional updates for each of the Suite’s applications, Esko Software Suite 14.1 will be rolling out with Software as a Service (SaaS) and Subscription options that the company says gives users greater flexibility, scalability and a lower total cost of ownership.
“SaaS and Subscription models for software are becoming the de facto standard in the software industry,” explains Bernard Zwaenepoel, Esko’s SVP, Software Business. “Esko has worked hard to keep pace with customer needs and industry trends, and to bring more value to customers with our Suite 14.1 release. While we have been offering a subscription model for some time for certain software modules, this release broadens the scope of that effort across more Suite 14.1 modules and responds to customer requests for increased cloud-based delivery of Esko software solutions. While perpetual software licenses will continue to be offered, customers now have the option of choosing a SaaS or Software Subscription model if it better fits their operational needs.”
In addition to a broader availability of SaaS and subscription resources, Suite 14.1 also includes a number of across-the-board enhancements, all developed to maximize ease of use, make implementation faster, improve support and deliver an even more outstanding customer experience.
“Esko is dedicated to providing innovative features and developments to the package and label printing industry,” adds Zwaenepoel. “With the release of Suite 14.1, we bring valuable new functionality to our current and future customers, giving them the user experience, scalability and flexibility they expect. We’re excited to be providing them greater ability to respond faster to changing market dynamics.”
In Suite 14.1, there are WebCenter enhancements, new software bundles and improved customer support infrastructure. In WebCenter, a new 2D and 3D viewer, based on today’s HTML5 web standard, is designed to make viewing of package and display designs faster. It also improves the WebCenter user experience on mobile devices, tablets and smartphones, which are quickly becoming the platform of choice for many brand owners and service providers.
The new software bundles, including DeskPack, i-cut Suite, Studio and Cape, are now available in Suite 14.1 as comprehensive bundles with different levels of functionality and pricing based on user needs, including Essentials and Advanced.
