Outlining the new collaboration on its blog, Infigo said its partnership with the German company would further increase the range of platforms its technology can integrate with, while also enabling it to “supercharge our support capabilities”.

Chris Minn, head of global marketing at Infigo, said: “Through our partnership with Zaikio, we at Infigo reaffirm our commitment not merely to sell web-to-print software but to provide superior workflow solutions.

“We believe in enabling our customers to maximise their revenue within an automated workflow, which necessitates leading-edge connectivity. Zaikio is an exemplar in this respect, embodying the essence of connection within the print industry.

“Zaikio really is a one stop shop for PSPs [print service providers] and will help our customers to experiment with new products and services and diversify their revenue streams.

“Our excitement knows no bounds as we back Zaikio in its visionary quest to amalgamate and expand markets.”

Karl Ciz, partner success for Zaikio, added: “Hardly any other industry has changed so massively in recent years as the printing industry. New printing processes, new sales channels, new ways of working: no printing company today is like any other. Software is increasingly becoming a driver for unique selling points and more efficient processes.

“We have made it our mission to develop workflows in the printing industry that allows all participants to communicate with each other on a level playing field. Our partnership with Infigo is the next step towards universal connectivity of the printing industry.

“Democratic cooperation is our top priority, both as a team and in collaboration with our customers and partners. The opportunity to add Infigo to our list of trusted partners was too good an opportunity to pass up.

“We can’t wait to get started on development projects with Infigo to see how we can help even more print shops automate and diversify.”

Zaikio is a subsidiary of press manufacturer Heidelberg.
