Historically, deploying traditional, non-cloud-based solutions has often taken significant time to implement and has required the commitment of significant IT resources.

However, cloud-based solutions can be deployed in days, transforming how we work, communicate, and collaborate.

The shift to cloud computing allows organizations of all sizes to move faster, be more agile, and innovate their businesses.

By combining the power of the cloud with the automation capabilities of Automation Engine, Esko has made prepress workflows more agile and efficient than ever before.

Here, we look at five ways a cloud deployment of Automation Engine will help you find more freedom in your prepress.

Easy Access and Deployment

The new subscription model of Automation Engine enables users to get up and running in days instead of months.

Automation Engine now delivers a simplified experience: the user accesses the software online, enjoying significant time savings on installation and configuration.

Not only does cloud deployment give peace of mind that all users across a business are on the same page via the same software, it also significantly reduces the time to benefit.

Reduce IT Overheads and Headaches

With cloud deployment, there’s no longer any need to download and manually install the latest software versions onto individual computers whenever a new update or release is issued.

Esko manages the IT infrastructure, eliminating the need for expensive hardware installations. Additionally, all versioning and maintenance is handled by the dedicated Esko Platform Operations team.

This reduces the stress of managing your own environment, monitoring hardware systems, and installing the latest versions of software updates.

Total Service and Security

Automation Engine has been designed to deliver optimal software performance, offering scalable infrastructure and up to 99.5% platform availability.

With a 24/5 global service level agreement, users have access to a support team with dedicated Solution Support Engineers.

There is no need for users to manage the security of the platform either. Customers can choose where their data resides and Esko optimizes the user experience by placing software regionally in one of its ISO 27001 certified data centers. Localized data storage also reduces latency and keeps data transfer times to a minimum.

Optimum Performance

While Automation Engine – like all Esko cloud applications – delivers optimal performance for users, it has also been specifically designed to offer a flexible, scalable infrastructure. Users can quickly scale up or down operations in line with specific business needs.

The subscription model delivers unparalleled flexibility, and with IT and licensing costs now reduced through automation and outsourcing, the pricing model also scales with the needs, size and growth of your business.

Improved Cost Efficiencies

A simple, flexible and transparent user-based pricing model offers a predictable cost to help manage your business’s IT budget.

With the price including a storage allowance and no bandwidth charges, Automation Engine guarantees a low step-in price and faster ROI for customers.

By implementing a cloud-based SaaS platform, organizations can also cut down on the expenses usually incurred when updating legacy-based systems and infrastructure, as well as reduce operational costs.

Look to the Cloud with Automation Engine

The shift to cloud computing has revolutionized how we work, communicate, and collaborate, making it essential to stay competitive in today’s digital world.

Automation Engine delivers centralization of data and standardization. Your business can now bring all its information, data, and templates together in one place, so that it can be accessed by colleagues at any time, from anywhere.

By combining automation and cloud capabilities, your prepress workflow will be more agile and efficient than ever before.
