By Enfocus: Enfocus releases Switch 08 update 7, the latest version of its Switch product line. The Switch family of products (LightSwitch, FullSwitch and PowerSwitch) lets users automate repetitive tasks, helping them standardize their work and reduce errors. This new update also brings new partners to the Crossroads community. Crossroads is a community built around the Enfocus Switch automation solutions. Crossroads enables communication between Enfocus Switch users and vendors. “We aim to let the Crossroads community grow by adding new configurators to Switch and by offering full possibilities and solutions to our customers. Thanks to the success of Switch, more and more companies see the advantages of building a configurator for Enfocus Switch,” comments David van Driessche, Marketing Director of Marketing.

“We are really excited to join the Crossroads community.” says Joeri Paeleman, CEO of Digital Media Partners. “Our DMP FLO web-to-print and brand-management solutions provide an ideal front-end to Enfocus’ Switch automation platform. As a quickly growing company Crossroads give us access to a host of international integration partners. It also has allowed us to build up relationships with other Crossroads partners. As a result we already integrated Elpical and callas technology in version 4 of FLO.”
