“2010 is developing into a stellar year for GMC and for our latest PortalBuilder software solution,” said Dr. René Müller, CEO of GMC Software Technology. “In addition to three awards in just four months, PortalBuilder has seen significant customer adoption worldwide.”

Launched in September of 2009, GMC PortalBuilder simplifies the process and opens the door for print service providers and direct mailing organizations to implement efficient, web-enabled storefronts for the creation, ordering, management and printing of personalized variable data documents and integrated, personalized multi-channel campaigns. End-users gain more flexibility and faster results by having easier access to all the variable components they need and users can enjoy centralized brand management and messaging as well as cost control with decentralized creation, order entry and output. PortalBuilder is also a business enabler allowing print service providers to drive digital print volumes and enterprises to manage off-contract print spend.
