Pine Tree to sell off-the-shelf software

Pine Tree Systems, the Danish digital asset management software firm, has launched a range of off-the-shelf products for printers and publishers.

It has taken the core technology from its Mosaic Digital Factory to develop the four products, which will cost from around 25,000.

The products are: Media Show, image library software with online delivery and billing; Media Organizer, a multiple-client archive with online access; Media Creator, a template-based tool for the creation of print jobs or advertisements online; and Media Store, a library for storing images and documents including video and audio.

The launch forms part of the companys plans to increase sales, particularly in the UK and US.

Ex-Net-linx and Monotype veteran Paul Parker has joined the UK operation as sales manager and managing director and is overseeing the move to offer direct sales as well as via resellers including MCSi.

Pine Trees UK clients include Lithocraft in Coventry and Optichrome in Woking.
