EFI,
a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced
that it has acquired Online Print Solutions (OPS), a leading innovator in the
areas of web-to-print, dynamic publishing and cross-media marketing solutions.
OPS brings a decade of experience developing and deploying applications developed
specifically to manage the unique needs of corporate storefronts, retail sites
and online design to variable data and cross-media solutions. Its customers
include many commercial printers throughout North America, Europe and Asia.
While financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed, the transaction is
not expected to be material to EFI's 2012 results.
"We are very pleased to bring OPS into our
growing web-to-print customer community and combine our world-class offerings
in the market," says Marc Olin, senior vice president and general manager
of EFI's Productivity Software division.
OPS software will become part of EFI's
Productivity Software portfolio. EFI intends to continue to offer both Digital
StoreFront and OPS products to the market, and in the near future,
integrate key OPS features and technologies supporting cross-media marketing
and variable data printing into the EFI Digital StoreFront platform, as well as
with EFI MIS software. EFI also plans to integrate the OPS platform into its
industry-leading Fiery digital front ends, so that OPS clients may enjoy
seamless connectivity to the wide range of Xerox, Ricoh, Canon, Konica Minolta,
and other Fiery driven printers available on the market today. In
addition, EFI plans to combine the two platforms over the coming years so that
OPS and Digital StoreFront users will have an easy migration to a platform
incorporating the best of both technologies. EFI will provide this new platform
to all clients with current maintenance contracts on either system at that
time.
