Esko updates its Automation Engine Workflow

Esko unveils an updated version of its Automation Engine Workflow solution that is available, for the first time, as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).

“This new Automation Engine will make prepress automation more accessible and easier to use for both long-time customers and for companies that are just starting out on their automation journey,” said Jan De Roeck, Esko director of marketing, strategy and industry relations. “Users can access their personalized, secure, workspace at any time, from anywhere, in the new My WorkSpace application. For customers looking for even more flexibility, we are proud to introduce our new cloud-based offering, which takes the prepress experience to a new level in terms of quality, productivity and connectivity.

“With Automation Engine SaaS, we are giving customers the opportunity to enjoy the operational benefits of standardized automated workflows while embracing the freedom of cloud-based computing,” he said.

On top of the My WorkSpace application and next-generation user experience, the newest release of Automation Engine includes a new ‘drop zone’ feature, which makes launching workflows “quicker and easier” by enabling users to search and select workflows, drag and drop files to it, edit parameters and initiate, all from one location.
