IDEAL's E-Commerce PlanRoom Enables Digital Content
Downloads for the Changing Reprographics Industry

Rockville, MD, February 17, 2009 - IDEAL.com introduces its new E-Commerce PlanRoom for Reprographers. This new PlanRoom provides e-commerce capability designed to automate the ordering process for reprographic customers where demand for digital downloads has increased due to the current economic situation. The print for pay model previously associated with the reprographics industry is changing. More and more reprographic customers are asking for digital downloads in order to cut expenses and save on paper. This new e-commerce feature broadens the appeal of the online planroom and increases the revenue potential for reprographers.

IDEAL's E-Commerce PlanRoom offers more functionality than most online planrooms. One of the unique features is that it enables reprographic shops to display, sell, and set prices online for digital file downloads. With its built-in e-commerce capability and customizable templates, reprographers can make it easy for customers to use a credit card online to order downloads as well as prints for pay of the plans, specs or color graphics they need.

Featuring secure log-ins and browser-speed viewing, IDEAL’s E-Commerce PlanRoom allows viewing of documents stored in file folders or an ODBC compliant database. Reprographers can easily organize their customers’ digital files for easy retrieval and download. With IDEAL's thin-client technology, customers can view and order drawings using only a web browser. No customer plug-ins required.

"The reprographics industry is changing." says Jay Magenheim, president of IDEAL.com. "It is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when, you receive the phone call from your long time customer asking how can you can provide digital download for bid sets. The print for pay model has changed forever and reprographic companies need new tools to adjust. We believe our E-Commerce PlanRoom is part of the solution."
