Apogee Cloud
Apogee Cloud is all about using the existing Apogee products, yet relying on the systems infrastructure, know-how, and hardware security offered by ECO3. Apogee Cloud allows you to run your workflow off-site, on the same private and secure cloud that ECO3 also uses for the Arkitex workflow software for newspapers.
The runtime license is aligned with your production and includes hardware, software, support, and expert ICT-managed services. Apogee Cloud minimizes your investments, yet maximizes flexibility. Need more production capacity? Apogee in the cloud is perfectly adaptable to your changing needs. In any case, your software is always up to date.
Benefits
Easily network and interact with print buyers, different production plants, and employees, which results in a more efficient production process.
Run your workflow off-site without the necessity of local configuration, software installations or hardware expertise. Use a professional infrastructure that offers database security, redundancy, and protection against data center crises.
Apogee Cloud offers both flexibility and reliability, as cloud equipment can be scaled to your particular business and is available 24/7.
“The functionality can now be expanded without buying an extra server. In addition to reducing the capital cost for regular hardware upgrades, the management costs for installation space, electricity, human resource costs, backup and security systems don’t exist anymore.”
Seiichi Nishikawa, President - Nishikawa Group:
Any organization can benefit from the Apogee Suite of workflow management products. With Apogee Prepress, ECO3 offers you a comprehensive and integrated workflow solution that lets you control every phase of the production process from a single user interface. With Apogee Cloud, however, the possibilities are even more extensive. Think of increased flexibility, 100% database security, optimal user-friendliness, and ECO3 expert ICT monitoring of your production process.
No one knows Apogee better than we do. With Apogee Cloud, ECO3 experts not only relieve in-house IT personnel of their day-to-day tasks, thus affording them more time to focus on strategy and innovation. They also ensure system stability. By constantly and proactively monitoring your production process, they foresee and prevent any system failures or downtime.
Apogee Cloud relies on the same hosting technology as other ECO3 business units, which means that your data is 100% secure. ECO3’s hosting service is located in two physically separate data centers in Mortsel (Belgium), which are monitored 24/365 and accessible by authorized personnel only. The IT infrastructure also guarantees protection against fire and water damage. A similar setup supports the deployment of Apogee Cloud in North America and other regions.
