Seamless Integration of noosh.com and Vio Service to Offer Time Savings and Enhanced Ease-of-use

 

February 11, 2000 - Boston - Seybold Seminars Boston/Publishing 2000, Booth #3024 - Noosh, Inc. and Vio Worldwide Limited have entered into an agreement to develop and implement seamless integration of the noosh.com service and Vio's global media production and distribution service for the graphic arts community. The goal of the integration is to allow joint users of the Vio service and noosh.com to send files using the Vio service without leaving the noosh.com interface. In addition, joint users will obtain the benefit of accessing portions of a file associated with a print job created within noosh.com without leaving the Vio interface, and keeping track of production files through both noosh.com and the Vio service.

"Our agreement with Vio is an important step towards offering joint users a seamless experience that can contribute both to time savings and increased productivity."
