Hosted eCommerce and order management service delivers easy-to-use solution
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Keen Systems today announced the
launch of its limited beta program at IDG's DEMOfall conference in San Diego,
CA. Revolutionizing print commerce, Keen provides commercial printers with a
cutting-edge on-demand online store solution specifically tailored to the
needs of the industry. This allows print companies to leverage tools that make
online marketing so effective and make ink-on-paper a relevant component of
the modern marketing mix. To apply for the beta, visit www.keenprint.com or
call 888.506.KEEN.
"Contrary to popular opinion, print is not dying; it's changing with the
times, segments showing growth through new and innovative Internet sales
models," said Vitaly M. Golomb, CEO of Keen Systems. "Commercial printers
recognize that the industry is constantly evolving and they are searching for
effective and efficient new technologies to employ. Keen delivers what no
other service provider has been able to and we're thrilled to launch our beta
at DEMOfall."
A low-cost, zero maintenance SaaS solution, Keen allows printing companies to
manage every aspect of their business from order to shipping. This
comprehensive service acts as the business hub of the print company helping
tremendously reduce costs and increase efficiency, while enabling them to
improve relationships with existing customers and attract new ones. Keen is
economic and simple enough for a three person copy shop but powerful enough to
handle a $50 million multi-plant operation.
"We are pleased that Keen Systems is launching this market changing service
with us," said Matt Marshall, Executive Producer of DEMO. "This service
addresses a critical need in an industry that is on the verge of massive
change and Keen will lead the way."
According to the Printing Industries of America, printing produced $162
billion domestically in 2008, with over 36,000 establishments and 1 million
employees. Canada, Western Europe and Australia produced 150% as much and are
also large sophisticated markets moving towards the online model. According
to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the commercial printing industry is one of
the few running an annual trade surplus. In August 2009, a panel of the top
industry experts determined web-to-print as the #1 focus for today's printing
companies.

-- An online store for commercial print products that only takes minutes
to
customize and launch
