WESTFORD, Mass., Jan. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ironsides
Technology, a leading provider of automated production tracking
software for the printing, mailing, fulfillment, and packaging
industries, announced it had a strong year with 33 percent growth
driven by the high demand for automated production technology in
the offset and inkjet printing markets. To meet the increased
demand and ensure continued customer success, the company has
expanded its sales and product team with the addition of two Xerox
industry veterans, Rob Coate and
James Hansen.
"2018 was a great year for Ironsides with significant new
customer growth through both our direct and channel sales," said
Bill Riley, CEO and Founder of
Ironsides Technology. "With the number of short print runs
increasing, inkjet and offset printers are running thousands of
jobs every week making it impossible to manually track each job
down to the piece level. Ironsides APT software allows printers to
integrate all aspects of the production workflow from pre-press,
printing, inserting and mailing in order to track each item in
real-time through the production workflow. This improves
operational efficiency while ensuring 100 percent document
integrity that every job is assembled correctly and meets the
customer's SLA requirements."
Ironside Technology Expands European Management:
Digital printing and automated document factory (ADF) expert,
Rob Coate will consult and advise on
Ironsides' product strategy for Nor'Star, a new production software
suite that provides end-to-end traceability of individual jobs
through the entire workflow process. While at Xerox, Coate was
instrumental in driving their European transition to a services-led
organization, establishing a network of Transactional Print and
Mail Service Centers that managed national accounts. As part of
this group, Coate designed and built an operating platform to
rapidly transform legacy print jobs into full-color,
transpromotional communications, leveraging the latest production
inkjet systems, advanced document composition software and
Ironsides APTâ„¢ (Automated Production Tracking) for print job and
mail piece tracking.
Ironsides Technology named James
Hansen, vice president of sales for Europe responsible for leading the company's
aggressive growth strategy in the region. Hansen has more than two
decades of success in the production print industry selling Xerox
DocuPrint and Docutech, continuous feed and inkjet technology. At
Xerox, Hansen was the Industrial Inkjet Specialist for Central Europe, Israel, Turkey and Greece. He also led the largest installation
of Xerox Inkjet technologies and Ironsides APT software at Capita
plc, UK's leading provider of business process outsourcing.
"We are extremely excited to have both Rob Coate and James
Hansen join the Ironsides' team," continued Riley. "They
have a depth and breadth of knowledge that is unmatched in the
industry. This will benefit our customers as they look to optimize
their production processes. As a former customer, Coate's decision
to join the company speaks to the product's strength. He will be
instrumental helping us grow the Nor'Star suite and Ironsides APT
platform to meet to needs of customers today and in the
future."
