Esko WebCenter alternative?

[Dario]

Hi all,

does a cheap alternative to Esko WebCenter exist?
Something to track emails, Pdf proofs, communications and approvals to/from clients?

Thanks!

About a year or so ago they rolled out "Share and Approve" which is a very slimmed down version of WebCenter. We looked into it but there was very little customization (you had to use their ugly green temple for your customer-facing email) and a lot of the automation steps were also taken away.

If your needs aren't that great that could be an option for you.

Good Luck! Bob

Hopefully you keep this string updated with your findings. I am in the same boat as you and I'm interested to hear what you find out.

Thanks Bob! I'm unable to find it on their website.

In the meantime I've found:

...and Hybrid (but maybe not so cheap):

In the meantime I've found:
Viki Solutions | Online proofing and workflow with Prinergy integration and RBA
...and Hybrid (but maybe not so cheap):

FYI, Viki is no longer in business. They were purchased by Blue Software which in turn was purchased by Esko.

Cloudflow Proofscope is an alternative. If you ever want a demonstration I can arrange a webinar for you.

here is another video showing some of the features of Cloudflow Proofscope.
