The product incorporates award-winning variable data and cross-media functionality from Pageflex into a desktop application and is the only desktop application on the market to enable database-driven personalized output in both print and email. "With the release today of Pageflex Persona Cross Media Suite, desktop users finally have a powerful yet easy-to-use cross-media application that enables them to achieve the increased response rates that result from professionally-crafted targeted marketing," commented Anna Chagnon, Pageflex CEO. "Marketers and service providers will appreciate the flexibility of the feature set, enabling unmatched sophistication in messaging while automatically maintaining design integrity in highly variable print and email output." Pageflex Persona Cross Media Suite delivers powerful features not found in other variable data extensions or applications, allowing it to serve as campaign central for personalized cross-media marketing programs. Among the compelling features are cross-media capabilities for creating coordinated, personalized print and email campaigns; variable-length document capabilities; support for workflows that imprint variable data on preprinted color shells; and the ability to compose text in more than 60 languages, including Japanese and Chinese. The core technology features a robust XML composition engine, designed specifically for variable data, and patented "flex" technology that automatically resizes items on a page based on the amount of custom content added. These features enable users to produce database-driven, one-to-one targeted and personalized documents including direct-mail postcards, mailers and emails, coupons, business cards, event-related collateral, marketing materials, travel itineraries, personalized booklets and much more.
