Kallik
Ltd, a UK provider of artwork management software today
announces that it has signed a partnership agreement
with Cimage NovaSoft Inc., a leading provider of content
and records management software for project-based environments.
The alliance will focus on the development and joint
marketing of Kallik's unique automated artwork production
and management solution, AMS™ - Automated Artwork Generator
and Cimage NovaSoft's Fusion product suite, a web-based
platform for Enterprise Content Management solutions
to the pharmaceutical industry.
Kallik's software automates all steps of the packaging
artwork development process, from gathering information
to the fully automated production of final artwork.
By speeding up the artwork production process through
fast, error-free processes and synchronized systems
- eliminates the amount of reworks; accelerates the
speed to market by reducing the cycle time and significantly
decreases administration costs incurred by marketeers
who frequently spend more time managing projects than
marketing them.
"Kallik's automated artwork production and management
solution, AMS™ is a welcome enhancement to our Enterprise
Content Management (ECM) solutions. Our combined integrated
solution dramatically improves traditional industry
practises by streamlining the packaging production process
from design through to print. This alliance means we
can now ensure the consistency and compliance of all
content data with today's most stringent regulatory
and commercial requirements," commented Tim Fleet,
Business Unit Director, Cimage NovaSoft.
Cimage NovaSoft provides organizations with enterprise
content management and workflow solutions designed to
meet the needs of highly regulated industries such as
pharmaceutical and medical device. Good Manufacturing
Practise (GMP) requires comprehensive control and auditing
of document intensive processes. Cimage NovaSoft supplies
solutions that meet these requirements and provides
21CFR Part 11 compliance for electronic signatures and
controlled printing.
"Previous research we've undertaken reveals that
65% of pharmaceutical product recalls are packaging
or label-related. This equates to a substantial amount
of money and time wasted in the packaging and artwork
cycle time. A single piece of artwork will be changed,
on average, three times - the extra costs this incurs
and the time delay of products hitting the shelf, costs
hundreds of millions a year to the pharmaceutical industry.
We are very excited to be working in partnership with
Cimage NovaSoft to deliver this combined solution to
the pharmaceutical industry," says Graham Brown,
Director of Channel Sales and Marketing, Kallik.
