Kodak to sell Aprimo marketing software with Design2Launch

Kodak's Graphic Communications Group (GCG) has signed an agreement teaming its Design2Launch software with Aprimo's Enterprise Marketing Management (EMM) tools.

The deal allows Kodak to sell the Aprimo EMM Portfolio and Aprimo to sell select products from the Design2Launch portfolio.

Judi Hess, general manager of GCG's Enterprise Solutions Group, said: "Together, Kodak's and Aprimo's solutions improve one-to-one targeted marketing communications, as well as supply chain collaboration, which results in increased efficiency and faster time to market."

Bill Godfrey, Aprimo chief executive, added: "While print solution vendors focus on specific channels, we see tremendous value in a solution that encompasses e-channels and traditional print where billions of dollars are spent.

"Our ultimate vision provides a digital workflow that starts with a marketing strategy and budget, and ends with an electronic or printed deliverable."

The modular Aprimo Enterprise Marketing Management suite provides a web-based architecture with the tools to process everything from marketing budgets to creative production plans to large customer databases.

GCG's Design2Launch is a suite of integrated modules created to save time and money at every step of the asset creation process, from project initiation, collaboration and revision to approval and production.
