Road Map 2007: Production Workflow Solutions (Europe)

Description

Europe’s production workflow software landscape has always been different from that of North America. The significant linguistic and cultural diversity of Europe has led to a software environment that is more fragmented, more local, and often more bespoke than the U.S. environment. For example, a local software company may deploy a solution for a major regional commercial printer, and that printer may be its largest single customer. This relationship is usually reinforced by generous ongoing support that sometimes makes the software company’s employees virtually de facto employees of the print service provider.

For our annual Road Map, InfoTrends’ PWSE consulting team has once again compiled a list of top print production software trends to watch for in 2007. As with last year’s Road Map, we would love to hear from you. Whether you agree, disagree, or predict additional parallel or contradictory trends, we would appreciate hearing your comments and ideas about the top issues facing the software markets during 2007.

This document begins with a recap of events and major trends that we predicted in 2006, and also provides an economic outlook for 2007.
