Tuesday 21. May 2013 - Compose System Ltd., innovative developer and distributor of prepress workflow systems and digital printing solutions for the printing and publishing industry announces their new partnership with Twixl media, developer of the Twixl Publisher product line, a software solution that enables designers to create and publish tablet applications starting from InDesign.

Compose is pleased to announce that they have been appointed as a distributor for the Twixl Publisher product line in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. As tablets are overtaking the number of PCs in the market, they are also changing the game of publishing, e-commerce and advertising. Publishers but also design agencies stand for big challenges but also a lot of opportunities in this fast evolving business. They are not only looking for a solution but also for professional advice on how to make the correct technology choice.
Compose, being at the same time a developer/integrator and a distributor has all the know how the market is asking for. It is the perfect match with the Twixl Publisher product line.
With Twixl Publisher, the company targets design agencies, publishers but also the enterprise market. The demand and market potential for interactive reader applications on tablets is tremendous – people are looking for cleverly devised interactive content. Twixl Publisher offers an independent and very fluid publishing solution to an emerging market that finds it difficult to identify qualitative solutions in a jungle of products and solutions which offers no added value except to bringing content to tablets.
The publishers start to understand this new business and the importance of independence when it comes to control the publishing (download) cost.
Agencies embrace a solution that enables them to publish both single- and multi-issue applications to the app stores as well as the enterprise networks, without any limitation.
Companies are also looking for a solution that enables them to manage both creation and in-house distribution.
Twixl Publisher – the ultimate user experience
Twixl Publisher is a publishing solution that takes projects from InDesign to iPads and Android tablets. Specifically, it is a combination of a stand-alone (Mac OS X) application and a plug-in for Adobe InDesign CS6 (and 5/5.5) that converts and exports traditionally created documents into interactive reader applications for tablets. Twixl Publisher makes it possible to translate print designs into digital designs by integrating interactive content such as slide shows, audio, video, HTML5 animations and more into a seamless tablet blend.
With Twixl Publisher designers can create a great variety of applications. Magazines are an obvious application, but Twixl Publisher can also be used for sales presentations, annual reports, newsletters, brand magazines, manuals, brochures, data sheets and more.
Frank Steyaert, CEO at Twixl media concludes: “Applications for Twixl Publisher are endless as it offers tremendous opportunities to share any interactive content that is available at any time and at any location and we’re delighted to work with Compose to market and distribute our solution. They have an extensive network of resellers focusing on adding value for their customers and closing the gap between technology and market.
Being developers themselves, they know and can implement our products within the workflow solutions they deploy. They are an essential link to make our solutions successful.
