Enfocus Partners with Viki Solutions

Enfocus and Viki Solutions announced the first stage in what is anticipated to be a multi-level partnership. In this initial phase, Viki is incorporating Enfocus PitStop preflight technology in its Vsuite platform of custom software solutions.

Viki is also planning to bring Enfocus' Switch automation platform into its portfolio.

Viki Solutions, which was founded by former Creo/Kodak engineers, is drawing on its extensive experience in bringing online proofing, web-to-print, and automated production to customers around the world. The organization serves clients who are print and marketing service providers, as well as those who provide custom publishing and packaging workflows.

"We didn't have to look far," says Afshin Mirmotahari, Viki chief executive officer, of the company's search for a preflight solution. "Enfocus is the market leader and has the best technology for our needs. The company is also very easy to approach and work with." Mirmotahari expects that Viki's customers will provide higher-value remote proofing services and improve the efficiency of their production workflows through seamless integration of preflight capabilities.
