Pageflex 8.0 Brings the Power of Pageflex to New Regions around the Globe

Thursday 06. September 2012 - Pageflex, the international supplier of printing and marketing automation solutions, today announces the release of Pageflex 8.0.

This release includes new globalization features that localize all aspects of the software and give print and marketing service providers everything they need to successfully deploy an online store that’s usable across languages, cultures, and currencies. Available now, Pageflex 8.0 also includes features that support better web-to-print site management and simplify the process of promoting products through social media and SEO.
With Pageflex 8.0, the Pageflex Storefront, Server, Campaign Manager, and Studio products and documentation have been translated into 10 languages: Dutch, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Russian, and both traditional and simplified Chinese. These applications also have been engineered to enable product owners to commission almost any other language upon request, and to easily undertake localization of user-facing web interfaces on their own.
Simon Ellington, Commercial Manager, for UK Pageflex distributor ROI360 stated “Version 8 will allow UK users to expand their geographical reach. With language and currency converters they will be able to provide a global service which will help them widen their customer scope. ROI360 will be offering version 8.0 to UK managed service users over the next 3 months.”
Social Media Integrations and SEO
Pageflex Storefront 8.0 improves customers’ ability to leverage social media and search engine optimization (SEO). New settings in the Storefront administrator give Pageflex customers the ability to let their site visitors “like” or recommend individual products through their favourite social media sites. Pageflex customers also can link their branded Storefronts to the social media sites where those brands are promoted.
In addition, Pageflex Storefront 8.0 provides built-in tools for making products more easily found by search engine robots to improve organic search rankings for those products.
Enhanced APIs
Pageflex’s robust APIs have been enhanced to take advantage of the new globalization features available in Pageflex 8.0.
Pageflex 8.0 also provides updates to Pageflex Studio and enhanced JDF functionality.
