Bob Wyllie Managing Director of Radius Solutions and Dave Hannebrink at DRUPA

Under the terms of the integration agreement, printers using both Noosh and Radius will have the ability to automatically exchange information between the PECAS Vision software, a fully integrated business information system designed specifically for the printing and packaging industries, and the noosh.com service. The integration is a natural workflow extension between a print management system and an e-commerce communication and collaboration service for print procurement and production.

Printers want both an e-commerce solution for workflow management and a business system for managing their commercial, production and executive information. With the integration of the Noosh service with the PECAS Vision software, users will be able to enter the data only once, either through the noosh.com service or through the PECAS Vision software, whichever is most convenient for the user.

The following capabilities will be made possible through the integration: requesting a price estimate, awarding and accepting an order, changing an order's status and other miscellaneous job status activities.

The integration of the noosh.com service and the PECAS Vision software is based on the Noosh open interface that allows for the exchange of data. The Noosh standard, available today as an XML document type definition (DTD), allows for the automated submission of job specifications into other print management systems and provides the means to transfer job specifications and estimates back into the noosh.com service at no added cost to the printer.

"Radius and Noosh share the same vision that customers can only benefit from open standards," said Bob Wyllie, Managing Director of Radius Solutions Inc. "We are responding to customer demand worldwide for this kind of integration. This further expands the supply-chain management capabilities of PECAS into an exciting new area."

"Noosh is committed to increasing efficiencies in the process of producing print," said Dave Hannebrink, senior vice president of marketing and business development, Noosh, Inc. "The relationship with Radius will take that one step further to increase productivity and automate the business process."
