GMG, supplier of high-end color management and proofing solutions, is to announce at Drupa its new product GMG Connect. GMG Connect links up GMG's proofing and color management products to create a central, scalable color management workflow solution.

This networked and centrally controllable solution allows all process progress to be monitored at all times, permitting access to GMG installations at different locations via an intranet or the internet. GMG color management and proofing can be synchronized across all locations in order to guarantee consistent quality standards. GMG color management and proofing functions can be integrated into existing workflows and browser-based remote proofing and color management is also possible.

Individual jobs can be created in automated fashion on the basis of XML and XMP data. The installation of maintenance of dozens of different hot folders is a thing of the past.

At the heart of GMG Connect is the Connect Server, which is the control centre for information exchange and communicates with the individual connectors, GMG FlowConnect, GMG WebConnect and GMG o4 Connect.

GMG FlowConnect is the interface which links GMG Connect to external systems. The module allows the utilization of any desired XML formats for bidirectional machine-to-machine communication. It has flexible configuration options, making it possible to meet even the most demanding and unconventional requirements.
