In collaboration with its partner SS&C, the company will be running demonstrations of its online document editing software Chili Publisher 3.5, nominated “coup de cœur” by the Graphitec Expert committee.

The Graphitec Experts committee awards the best new products offered by exhibitors. Of the 49 pre-selected products to discover at the "Place des Nouveautés", twelve products obtained the special "coup de cœur” label. Amongst them – in the category solutions for cross-media, web to print and graphic design – is Chili Publisher, described by the committee as “undoubtedly one of the major software solutions, integrated with many products demonstrated at the show".

Graphitec is a major fixture in the French print trade show calendar, with exhibitors displaying the latest equipment and software innovations, from prepress to post-press and everything in between. Chili Publish will team up with distributor SS&C to showcase the vast capabilities of Chili Publisher. SS&C has been working with Chili Publish for many years, helping the company reach new markets via its extensive dealer network. SS&C currently represents Chili Publish in the Benelux and France, and recently also launched the product on the Spanish market.

Bram Verniest, CMO of Chili Publish, comments: “Graphitec is a very important event for us – it’s the ideal backdrop to show what the latest version of Chili Publisher can do. It’s our chance to meet face to face with companies in the French market and surrounding territories, and to find out what issues they’re facing, and what we can do to help. 2011 was the first time we presented Chili Publisher at Graphitec, and each edition we’ve invested in a larger stand to handle the interest from visitors. We’re looking forward to another successful show.”

Jean De Volder, Managing Director at SS&C, says: “Our customers are looking for solutions that will have a significant impact on the way they work – Chili Publisher does exactly that. We’re really looking to extending the reach of Chili Publish in the French market, and Graphitec is the perfect show to do it. It’ll be great to run demonstrations of Chili Publisher so delegates can see the kind of impact the solution will have on their own set-ups firsthand.”

Transforming workflows, boosting productivity

Chili Publisher is a powerful online document editing solution that slots easily into a wide range of workflows and production platforms. It’s founded on four core principles for maximum versatility and impact:

• Flexibility, making customization easy
• Consistency, ensuring high performance across different platforms, browsers and systems
• Open architecture with API toolkits
• Browser-based interface for the easiest possible access

Chili Publisher provides powerful editing functionality, and comes with an extensive set of features previously only available in dedicated publishing applications. System integrators can choose how to incorporate Chili Publisher into their workflows. The solution is equally effective in web-to-print, magazine publishing, packaging, brand management, yearbook applications and others. Chili Publisher embeds into the application, and can be fully customized to meet users’ specific needs.

It also integrates easily with other major industry developers’ software, enabling users to enhance their production processes and increase output. This easy integration has helped Chili Publish secure a number of partnerships. Amongst many others, Chili Publisher is integrated into Esko WebCenter; Canto Cumulus; Agfa :Apogee Storefront; GamSys PartnerWeb; Chili Connector for Magento by PHPro (part of the Belgian Cronos group); and Tharstern e4print Pro.
