GMG has launched CoZone Collaborate, a comprehensive online project collaboration, soft-proofing and approval solution, which will allow users to manage, review, proof and approve graphic arts content.

CoZone Collaborate is the first GMG CoZone module to be released. The web-based platform integrates the cloud and project collaboration with high-quality colour management toolsets. 

While the software features a powerful soft-proofing engine, future CoZone modules will allow seamless connection to calibrated hard-copy output devices, delivering an end-to-end colour accurate workflow. CoZone Collaborate allows even inexperienced users to collaborate, review, proof and approve content.

The system is completely cloud-based so there is no software or hardware to install and manage, meaning users do not require anything more than a web browser.

Central to the service is the user friendly interface, allowing end-users to be up and running with minimal training. Powerful approval and soft-proofing features provide users with a comprehensive toolset.

‘The way that jobs are produced and the growing expectations of customers, means that the industry has to sit up and take notice. Adopting a more distributed and collaborative methodology that exploits the clear benefits of the cloud when producing content means easier, faster and more streamlined output, which is good for the industry as a whole,’ said Marcus Wright, CoZone product manager.
