RealTimeImage worked with New Zealand and Australia-based Xelion to provide Colorite with its new RealTimeImage solution.
Keith Bainbridge, Colorite director, says, “We pride ourselves on being constantly geared for growth, and that is one of the main reasons for our on-going ability to provide the best for our clients. The expansion of online proofing and approval management is a global reality, and will be a key focus of our activity going forward.
“Our growth has been achieved through a cohesive strategy of innovation and improvement in the way we do things. Colorite operates either the latest or the most appropriate technology to manage clients’ digital content, and we will continue to invest in technology such as RealTimeImage’s RealTimeProof. This will help ensure that we continue to provide the best service to our clients.”
With RealTimeImage, Colorite’s customers will now be able to remotely and securely collaborate and proof their product development projects online and in high resolution via any internet connection.
