Before licensing Pageflex Storefront, OTC Systems utilized a web-to-print solution they developed themselves. With this solution, they were able provide highly customized business-to-business solutions for their clients in a remotely hosted environment.

Storefront will ensure that our clients using our remote hosted platform are on the cutting edge.”

Using Pageflex as a technology base, OTC Systems developed their marketing portal which gives their customers a place to manage and develop variable marketing programs using personalized URLs, dynamic imagery, on-line editing, web-to-print outputs, integrated postage, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), corporate data analytics, production automation, and more – all on-line in an easy to use interface.

Anna Chagnon, Bitstream President and CEO, said, “OTC Systems has a proven track record of using Pageflex technology to create innovative solutions for their clients.
