Athena Graphics has become the first company in the world to implement Hybrid Software’s product asset management system, PAM, which was purchased as a suite with Cloudflow and Proofscope.
The Belgian company is one of Europe’s leading pre-press companies for the flexo industry.
‘We wanted a suite of products that would provide us with a platform that can be rapidly developed to create links to a wide range of other systems and Hybrid Software offers an excellent database with a web API plus the tools required to achieve this aim,’ said managing director Ignace Cosaert. ‘We also needed a first class software viewer that does not require a Java applet.’
Aimed at the label and packaging markets PAM offers multi-file server indexing plus the ability to search for assets based on names and metadata, as well as PDF files incorporating the same images. Assets can be tagged and metadata added.
The operator can generate low resolution files and share these via direct invitation links or user spaces. The PAM system supports various file formats, and is able to interpret metadata standards such as XMP.
