Output Factory for InDesign Reduces Security Hassles on macOS Mojave

Zevrix Solutions announces Output Factory 2.3.17, a maintenance update to company's output automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Output Factory automates printing and exporting from InDesign. The app offers batch processing, layer versioning, custom scripts integration and other time-saving options. The new version eliminates the hassles associated with Apple Event sandboxing - a security measure introduced in macOS Mojave that prevents access to control other apps without user authorization.

Toronto (ON), Canada -- Zevrix Solutions today announces the release of Output Factory 2.3.17, a maintenance update to company's output automation tool for Adobe InDesign. Awarded 5 stars by InDesign Magazine, Output Factory automates and simplifies workflows of printers, publishers, prepress houses, and ad agencies worldwide. The software helps eradicate repetitive tasks and costly errors through batch processing with time-saving output options.

The new version eliminates the hassles associated with Apple Event sandboxing, a new security measure introduced in macOS Mojave. Under the new policy, apps can no longer control other apps without user authorization, which directly affects such tools as Output Factory that require access to InDesign and other system resources to perform complex workflow automation tasks. The new update of Output Factory streamlines the authorization process by clearing all permissions during launch time, which assures consistent interruption-free batch processing. The app will also reset Apple Event permissions automatically if the authorization was previously revoked by accident.

"Using Output Factory is straightforward... The time savings are huge," writes Jamie McKee in InDesign Magazine. "If you find yourself repeatedly exporting InDesign files in various formats, you owe it to yourself to install the free trial and see just how much time you'll save using Output Factory."

Output Factory supports printing as well as exporting to PDF, PostScript, EPS, Flash, IDML, EPUB and several image formats. It offers the following key features:

-Output multiple InDesign files automatically

-Export page groups as a single PDF files

-Variable output file names

-Create PDF security presets

-Output files to multiple formats with one click

-Layer versioning: output layer combinations as single files

-Eliminate errors with automatic preflight

Pricing and Availability:

Output Factory can be purchased from Zevrix website for US$169.95 (Lite version $119.95), as well as from authorized resellers and Adobe Exchange. Trial is also available for download. The update is free for the users of Output Factory 2.x, and $84.97 to upgrade from Output Factory 1.x and BatchOutput. Output Factory requires macOS 10.7-10.14 and Adobe InDesign CS3-CC 2019.

T5 Data Centers Poised to Meet Emerging Challenges of Mission-Critical Hyperscale & Enterprise Computing

T5 CEO Cites Record of 10 Years' of Success and Innovation as the Foundation to Meet New Market Challenges and Continued Delivery of "Forever On" Data Services.

Atlanta, GA, USA -- After a decade of delivering "forever on" data center services, T5 Data Centers, innovators in providing secure, customizable, hyperscale and enterprise computing environments, has just completed its best year in 2018. As the company moves into 2019, T5 CEO Pete Marin predicts another strong year as T5 prepares to meet the new challenges of the rapidly changing cloud computing market.

"T5 has been able to stay ahead of the continually changing data center market by combining future-proof facilities with innovation, superior expertise and customer service," said Marin. "With a 10+ year record of success, we continue to expand our data center portfolio and provide services that anticipate our customers' needs. We have a growing list of satisfied customers and industry accolades such as the Uptime Institute's Continuous Uptime Award, so we have earned our reputation for reliability and delivering 'forever on' services."

New demands on hybrid computing architectures are presenting new challenges to data center occupiers and colocation providers. Hybrid clouds are making up the bulk of corporate computing services, giving users access to vast public clouds while enabling them to retain control over their most sensitive applications. In addition, Edge computing is gaining ground as more companies decentralize their IT infrastructure and use regional data centers to shorten the backhaul and reduce latency for applications such as managing Internet of Things (IoT) devices. In fact, the proliferation of IoT, mobile computing, and other data traffic is putting an added strain on data centers.

At the same time, there is an ongoing shortage of qualified data center personnel. According to a study by the Uptime Institute, 45 percent of data center operators said that lack of qualified staff will limit data center growth for the next five to seven years, and 38 percent said they are having trouble finding qualified candidates to fill open IT positions.

"T5 is one of the few companies able to offer end-to-end data center solutions from construction to ongoing operations," Marin added. "In addition to our Tier III-plus data centers, we have T5 Construction Services to help with planning and custom build-outs, and we have T5 Facilities Management to provide world-class operations expertise. We are a one-stop-shop with the staff and resources to deliver tailored hyperscale and enterprise solutions, no matter what the requirements."

The company has plans for international expansion in 2019. T5 has already announced the addition of T5@Ireland, and the company will expand its international coverage in the months ahead.

Starz Play Arabia to Talk About Their Success with Gotransverse and Recurring Payment Strategies at Monetize 11 Amsterdam

Gotransverse Sponsors MGI Research's Monetize 11 Amsterdam Conference - the Premier Agile Monetization Platform Event in Europe.

AMSTERDAM -- Gotransverse (http://www.gotransverse.com), a leading provider of enterprise quote-to-cash solutions, today announced that one of its showcase customers, Starz Play Arabia, will be speaking at Monetize 11 Amsterdam, discussing their success with Gotransverse to support their complex billing and subscription revenue strategy. Gotransverse is one of the sponsors of Monetize 11 Amsterdam, which is scheduled to be held here February 12.

Starz Play CIO, Saleem Bhatti, is scheduled to talk about their recurring billing system which provides subscription video-on-demand (VOD) services to customers in 19 different countries. Starz Play Arabia streams thousands of movies, documentaries, and television programs to customers in the Middle East, North Africa, and Pakistan. The company needed a scalable solution capable of handling complex, high-volume subscriptions. Starz Play offers a range of usage-based payment methods, which has resulted in increased customer adoption and satisfaction.

As part of his presentation, Bhatti will discuss their unique challenge with direct carrier billing. In the Middle East, the majority of consumers want to pay for streaming entertainment services as part of their mobile phone bill, so services providers need to work with telecom companies, including support for complex billing and unique subscription management rules, and the ability to accommodate last-minute carrier handling charges and change requests. Starz Play customers get an optimal experience, choosing daily, weekly, or monthly subscriptions billed through their mobile carrier or their credit card.

"We chose Gotransverse as our strategic partner due to their industry-leading telecom and billing domain expertise, which enables them to deftly handle internationalization of billing at high volumes - including mobile billing - and their ability to scale as we expand," said Bhatti. "The solution enables us to provide an optimal experience for our customers, who prefer to pay as they go via mobile platforms without long-term commitments."

Following the Starz Play Case Study Presentation from Bhatti at Monetize 11, there will be an Agile Billing Panel Discussion with the CEO of Gotransverse, Jim Messer, along with MGI Research and the CEO of Just.On to give their insights and expectations for upcoming billing shifts in the digital age.

Monetize 11 is the only European event to focus specifically on monetization strategies, including billing, payments, ecommerce, and quote-to-cash strategies. Created for CEOs, CIOs, CFOs, financial professionals, and anyone interested in ecommerce, Monetize 11 has been structured to explore new pricing models and payment methods, including new digital business strategies, subscription pricing, and tactics for frictionless ecommerce.

"Europe has always been a strong market for E-commerce and European businesses are struggling to find better ways to monetize technology services," said Messer. "Having Starz Play present at the Monetize conference will give us an opportunity to share some of the lessons learned about agile monetization and quote-to-cash. It also will give us an opportunity to meet with MGI analysts to discuss changing market conditions and talk to other professionals about new billing and recurring revenue strategies."

Gotransverse already has a number of European customers including Amsterdam-based Royal Schiphol Group and eBay Classifieds.
