Software Imaging represents the merger of Software 2000 Limited, Justway Co., Ltd, Justway Korea Co., Ltd, Strydent Software Inc., and Software 2000’s existing staff in Japan. All companies will continue to operate as before but will now use the new Software Imaging name and a new corporate branding with immediate effect. In addition, customers will now be able to choose from a vastly expanded and fully integrated portfolio of new imaging products and services. Offices in Oxford – England, Fujisawa – Japan, Tokyo – Japan and Seoul – Korea, Monterey – California, Vancouver - Canada will provide a world-wide network of customer support, testing and development centres. This global presence will allow Software Imaging to deliver unparalleled levels of service and support to its customers around the world. Software Imaging represents a focused group of companies with a strong portfolio of intellectual property, patents and technologies targeted to deliver value to the imaging market. The Component Driver Architecture (CDA) toolkits for PCL5e, PCL5c, PCL XL and PostScript and Sorcerer toolkits for GDI Laser and raster color will now be serviced and supported by each office in the customers’ native language. Products from Justway such as JATT (automated testing) and their customized driver development and driver testing services will now also be offered on a world-wide basis. Mr. Tony Harris, Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of Software 2000 commented, "This exciting move represents the culmination of a wide ranging integration process that has been underway since we acquired the Justway group. We can now drive the whole combined group of companies forward under a single name and look to a bright future in the imaging markets. New initiatives will include a strong push into embedded imaging, advanced digital imaging, mobile printing, industrial imaging, wide format and the pre-press and digital press markets. These new markets will further expand and build upon our strong position in the desktop laser, digital copier and inkjet markets." Mr. Takeshi Yamamoto, President of Software Imaging in Japan commented, "My team is excited and enthusiastic to be operating as part of the new Software Imaging group. The Justway products are now firmly integrated with Software 2000’s own technologies and it makes sense to operate as a single group." Mr. Peter Lismer, CEO of the Software Imaging Group added, "We are now truly a global imaging software group. Our track record for innovation, sustainable growth and profitability is unique in our industry and our OEM customers recognize that these factors give us the strength and stability to be long term technology partners."
