Press Release:

Aarhus, Denmark–(Stibocatalog.com)–September 8 2005–Stibo Catalog announced today the com­mer­cial avail­abil­i­ty of STEP 4.7 – the next gen­er­a­tion of its prod­uct con­tent man­age­ment and pub­lish­ing solu­tion for product- and catalog-centric businesses.

STEP 4.7 includes sup­port for Adobe® InDesignâ„¢ CS2 for both Macintosh and PC. Marketing pro­fes­sion­als can now pub­lish pro­mo­tions direct­ly from STEP’s prod­uct infor­ma­tion man­age­ment (PIM) mod­ule, which means they have greater cre­ative design con­trol. The intu­itive plug-in allows InDesign users access to STEP via a native palette. STEP takes advan­tage of some of InDesign’s advanced fea­tures includ­ing lay­ers for ver­sion pub­lish­ing and multi-lingual publishing.

Simon Walker, STEP Product Manager com­ment­ed: ”Our cus­tomers are used to being able to pub­lish fast and reli­ably using the STEP Publication Manager. We have added enhanced cre­ative con­trol for cat­a­log pro­fes­sion­als with our plug-in for Adobe InDesign, which allows users to pub­lish from STEP PIM. STEP is pro­vid­ing addi­tion­al ben­e­fits for mail order busi­ness­es as well as mar­keters who are look­ing to sup­ple­ment cat­a­logs with cre­ative small­er promotions.”
