MacMillan

Example for VIVA Design Consulting

Early in 2003, VIVA was approached by the Macmillan group regarding the technology and products for reading and analysing Quark documents.

As is well-known, VIVA’s layout program VivaPress Professional for MacOS 9 has been able to open Quark documents from versions 3 and 4 for a long time, those in the format of version 5 since the beginning of 2003. The technology has already been licenced in the form of libraries to American and European firms producing preflighting products.

VIVA Project Management

Case Study Ouest Affiches, Le Mans, France

Ouest Affiches, a leading French poster printer based in Le Mans, has switched its workflow to Kodak’s Prinergy Evo system in conjunction with VivaPosterize.

The creation and output of large format posters is very demanding and time-consuming. Ouest Affiches, whose customers include Shell, C & A, Triumph and Disneyland Paris, had been searching for a professional solution to enable them to increase their production speed while at the same time maintaining the high quality for which they are already well known.

Alltours

Example for VIVA Design Consulting

Duisburg/Koblenz, February 2003

With a turnover of over 1 billion Euro and over 1 million holidaymakers Alltours is one of the five biggest tour operators in Germany.

Up to now the production of catalogue pages and price information was carried out with traditional layout programs. This production is of course very complicated and time-consuming. To save further costs, increase efficiency and produce catalogues more quickly, Alltours spent months researching and comparing the systems available.

Training & Support

Training and Workshops

With its training sessions and workshops, VIVA helps you to help yourself. Therefore we train both end users in the use of the software as well as graphic designers, system integrators, developers, consultants and agencies. The training sessions offer both an introduction to the technology and also concrete assistance in the completion of specific tasks. Within the framework of the workshop, we identify with the customer exactly what is needed and develop the strategies and solutions for a successful application of the publishing products in the organisation.

Service and Support

With and after the implementation of VIVA products, the customer has an extensive service and support offer available. Starting with a day, night and weekend service, right up to guaranteed reaction and solution times, VIVA offers »First Level« and »Second Level« support in different languages. A concrete example: A multinational corporation implemented the VIVA technology in fourteen languages. VIVA gave the customer worldwide support in several languages.

Project Management

Security with »Proof of Concept« (POC)

In many cases, customers have problems imagining how a computer can produce a catalog or packaging fully automatically. Sometimes a competing supplier promisedmuch but delivered little. A concrete example: For such cases, VIVA offers a »Proof of Concept« (POC). Within the framework of a prototype it is proven that the software can fulfil its task. If the software is unsuccessful, the customer does not pay a cent. If the solution works, VIVA includes the cost in the project pricing. Thus the customers buys a solution that is tailor-made to function for his specific application. This achieves security and trust.

Project implementation and management

Depending on the order, VIVA takes over the complete management of the project and the responsibility for its implementation. Here we help corporations and service providers to enter easily into an efficient technology showing the way forward. A concrete example: A service provider and his customer wanted to implement the complete VIVA technology and to replace all existing systems in just three months. For time reasons, VIVA took over the project management, built up all the databases, created the templates for the Publishing Server and in the meantime trained the service provider and his customer within the framework of the project implementation (Keyword: »Training on the job«). After all work was completed the service provider and his customer were able to further develop the templates and the databases.

Supply

VIVA offers customers who are worried about large investments or whose resources do not allow a fast project turnover to supply the software within a hosting framework. A concrete example: A corporation wanted to introduce the VIVA publishing technology, but had no resources free in his IT department to manage the project or provide support. The solution: VIVA set up the appropriate servers in its computer centre and offered the service in the form of an ASP/Hosting agreement. The customer received FTP access to the server so that he could organise his data.

Purchase, Financing, Rent and Hosting

A further plus for the application of VIVA products is provided by the financing models. As developer of the software, VIVA can offer financing, rent and hosting options.

Successful History

Since its founding in 1994, VIVA has completed all projects successfully and within the agreed deadlines. This speaks for itself.
