The London-based software developer, which has more than 12 years' web-to-print experience, intends to use Ipex as its launchpad for "rapid growth" in the UK and international markets.

According to managing director Ivor Jacobs, Cognitu is internet-based and uses dedicated servers to ensure the system is up-to-date and data is protected. Software, hosting and data transfer are all provided.

"Our pioneering software can be accessed by customers worldwide," Jacobs said. "In the new era of web-to-print, by offering a consultative service, our customers can grow their business with the full support to succeed."
