• Agfa Graphics moves PrePress workflows from the print site to the Cloud

Why Agfa Cloud ?

ADM - Innovating the printing industry / Paul Boons - Ludwig Compagnie 2015-10-22 5

• Agfa Graphics Strategy• Request from customers to host prepress workflow in the cloud

• Not their core business• Internal IT usually lacks “application” knowledge• General cloud service providers only offer infrastructure and lack “prepress” services• Agfa has been a reliable partner• Only Agfa provides a PaaS solution• Secure private hosting in Agfa data centers, managed services provided by Agfa ICS• Workflow software & services provided by Agfa Graphics
