Paul Vemer, Company Director at PossibilIT, is delighted to be able to

they come to us looking for I.T solutions that add value to their business
and make magazine production easier and more effective. Van Gennep’s
PlanSystem3 completes our portfolio, allowing us to provide a complete
back and front end office solution for magazine publishers.’
PlanSystem3’s planning and job tracking tools enable publishers to manage
each step of the editorial and creative process, helping work to be produced
more efficiently and deadlines to be met. The system is compatible with a full
range of desktop publishing programs including QuarkXPress® , Adobe® InDesign® and
InCopy® and consequently provides flexibility across the design and
production process.
Paul continues ‘we looked at a number of workflow management and
collaboration systems but PlanSystem3 was the one that stood out for us
because of its
functionality and usability. Some of our customers already use PlanSystem3
so we know that
it integrates well with the other systems that we work with. Van Gennep
has a very good position in the market and we are delighted to be working
with
them.’

will initially focus on distributing PlanSystem3 throughout Spain, France,
