Cambridge, MA September 3, 2003 Pageflex
(NASDAQ: BITS), a leader in Web-top publishing,
announces an agreement to license Mpower™, its composition
engine for one-to-one marketing solutions, and .EDIT™,
its browser-based editing tool, to Newgen Results Corporation,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of TeleTech Holdings.
Newgen combines marketing and customer retention with an
in-depth knowledge of service department operations to deliver
highly targeted and customized solutions to automotive dealers
and manufacturers. Newgen builds solutions that harness dealership
customer databases to personalize such post-sales collateral
as service reminders and targeted marketing pieces. Over
40 million letters move through Newgen annually, on behalf
of over 7,000 automotive dealerships nationwide.
Newgen CEO
Bill Klehm explains his vision for the deal this way: “Newgen
plans to use Pageflex products to expand our technology lead
and combine it with digital asset management
(DAM) expertise to bring the full power of on-demand, one-to-one
marketing on the fastest platforms to every dealer we service.”
“The automotive industry was among the first to recognize
the potential of streamlined workflows for localization and
customization of advertising and marketing materials in a
tightly competitive economy,” explains David Frenkel,
Pageflex General Manager. “Newgen is well-positioned
to provide this market with CRM services that take full advantage
of the flexible template creation and online previewing in
Mpower and the browser-only Web-to-print front-end services
of .EDIT. Solutions from Pageflex and Newgen can dramatically
increase the reach and lower the cost of after-market campaigns
for car dealers across North America.”
“
We
expect to integrate Pageflex products first into our Web-based
promotion
and fulfillment tools,” adds
Paul Whitworth, Vice President of Marketing at Newgen, “following
with a Web-to-print workflow that enables dealers to create,
order, and deliver materials that are both highly targeted
and professionally designed."

About Pageflex
Pageflex (www.pageflexinc.com)
is the pioneer of a new direction in composition software:
Web-top publishing.
Moving beyond desktop publishing, our Web-top publishing
software helps novice users create high-quality printed
products using
intelligent, flexible templates, without installing or
learning any new software. Pageflex templates are intelligent
and
flexible
because professional designers can set rules to define
which elements can change, how much they can change, and who can change them.
Our products maintain corporate identity and design integrity while
enabling sophisticated customization of documents. Pageflex
also leads the field in variable-data composition software
for both enterprise and desktop.
Pageflex software is used for a wide variety of applications,
including on-demand marketing materials, stationary and
business cards, advertising, catalogs, and personalized
digital printing.
Pageflex products are distributed through original equipment
manufacturers (OEMS), value-added resellers (VARs), applications
service providers (ARPs), and system integrators (SIs).
The Pageflex worldwide customer base includes manufacturers,
service
providers, advertising agencies,
commercial printers, graphic design houses and ASPs. Users
of Pageflex products include Xerox, IBM, Ford, EFI, Coldwell
Banker, Wunderman, Mail-Well, httprint, and Spire. Pageflex
was established in 1999 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bitstream
Inc. (Nasdaq: BITS, www.bitstream.com).
What makes Pageflex software different from all other composition
systems?
Desktop publishing requires users to install expensive
software and master superior design techniques. With Web-top
publishing,
even beginners can turn out high-quality printed products,
without installing or learning any new software, by using
Pageflex intelligent and flexible templates.
Unlike ordinary templates, these have sophisticated built-in
rules that offer users a wide range options to change graphics
and text while preventing them from making design blunders.
Executives
and designers can relax, knowing that a remote branch can
generate local content without corrupting the corporate
brand and identity.
