EFI has continued its policy of consolidating the MIS sector through acquisition, with the purchase of the assets of DiMS! organizing print, a Dutch developer of MIS/ERP systems for print and packaging companies.
DiMS! was founded in 1986, and offers multi-language, seamlessly integrated MIS/ERP workflow products. The firm’s employees have joined EFI’s Productivity Software MIS/ERP group, and EFI has assumed support operations for DiMS! customers. The technology is to be integrated with EFI Fiery digital front end technologies for automated digital print production.
‘DiMS! organizing print is a respected provider for print MIS/ERP software serving some of the industry’s top European and multinational print and packaging companies,’ said Gabriel Matsliach, senior vice president and general manager, EFI Productivity Software. ‘Europe is a fast-growing and very dynamic region for EFI, so we are excited to have DiMS! team members and customers join us as we continue creating more value for customers around the world with efficient business and production workflow solutions.’
Gerard Marneth, who had been the chief executive officer of DiMS! organizing print, added: ‘Together, we can help customers worldwide set new benchmarks for reduced waste, faster turnaround time and administrative efficiency.’
EFI said it will discuss DiMS! products at the Graph Expo tradeshow in Chicago later this month, and that an expanded range of MIS/ERP topics relevant to DiMS! users will be added to EFI’s Connect user conference in Las Vegas in January.
