callas software, a leading provider of automated PDF quality assurance and archiving solutions, has recently released its License Server, a dynamic method for licensing callas products. With the introduction of the license server, Pixartprinting was able to migrate to a cloud-based infrastructure where they are not restricted to a specific set of servers running pdfToolbox. Now they can add or remove as many servers as they want, depending on their workload.
A changing e-commerce landscape
Pixartprinting is a fast growing online printing company that believes that the e-commerce landscape has changed dramatically. They face a growing product range, larger volumes, geographically dispersed markets, dispersed manufacturing and, most importantly, demanding customers. Conrado Camacho, technical director at Pixartprinting, says: "We have some challenges to address. These include scalable, fast-growing volumes, flexible processes based on market feedback, and the ability to adapt to new printing technologies. We need to be aware of the costs to maintain the profitability of Pixartprinting". Alessio de Zotti, Head of Manufacturing Software at Pixartprinting, adds: "Fortunately, cloud-based computing and working with companies that understand these opportunities gives us the opportunity to scale our business requirements accordingly.
Using the License Server
Pixartprinting has been using callas pdfToolbox for its production processes since 2012. The company has locally managed a number of servers that have helped it manage its peak volumes, although demand has not been stable throughout the year. With the introduction of callas software's license server, they were finally able to migrate to a cloud-based infrastructure where they are not tied to a specific set of servers running pdfToolbox. Now they can add or remove as many servers as they want, depending on their workload.
"With this step, we expect the migration to a system that can automatically scale up or down based on the requirements at the time. This should offer many advantages, for example cost optimization (we only pay for the required computing power). With License Server, we can quickly adapt to peak times when needed and make the most of our pdfToolbox licenses," says Alessio de Zotti.
Pixartprinting has always invested in the automation of its business processes in order to serve its customers in the best possible way and at the same time maintain competitive prices. "We are excited to extend our partnership with callas software as their automation technology can help us improve the quality of our support to our customers," said Alessio de Zotti. With the License Server, Pixartprinting can now offer its customers fast and easy access to the best printing solutions.
