Our ultimate choice was Printempo because it is easy for us and for our customers to handle.
Its interface meets all of our requirements.
It is good looking, clean, simple and in Swedish.
The system is compatible with both PC and Mac and can be administered using an ordinary browser.
In addition, the technology behind it appears to be very good," said Fredrik Bogardh, the former pre-press manager at VLT-Press and currently manager of central pre-press for the VTAB group, of which VLT-Press is a member.
Magnus Lundgren at Mediafront, commented: "The specifications from VLT-Press stated clearly that the system should give pre-flight reports in Swedish.
Therefore, at Mediafront we immediately started translating and adapting the Dalim Software system to meet this requirement.
As far as I know, we were the only supplier that could manage this so quickly." Another important factor was a system that could be adapted and developed.
Mediafront's Dalim Primtempo scored points in that regard as well and VLT-Press was the first to introduce the new system to Sweden, added the company.
Bogardh said: "As we all know, tomorrow's reality is not today's.
Therefore, we also specified a system that could be altered and extended over time." The installation was made in April and May last year and was gradually implemented until it was in full operation last October.
Customers are constantly updated via the new interface.
They can see the latest version of a document and also approve material via the web.
Every week five million newspapers leave VLT-Press in Vasteras.
Apart from nine daily newspapers, amongst them Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter, 40 recurring titles are produced here.
After three months of full operation Bogardh pointed out that everything has proceeded very painlessly and the system matches up to all expectations with customers are very satisfied.
"Many of the tasks that customers earlier carried out via telephone can now be done directly via the interface.
This works smoothly and saves us and our customers a lot of time," added Bogardh.
