CreoScitex--Inside the Creo Momentum

************

It seems almost poetic that the once small, Vancouver, Canada-based company that upset the CTP world by trumpeting thermal technology and has marketed itself with fervor since DRUPA 1995, would be poised to walk into DRUPA 2000 as an industry giant. Creo's alliance with Kodak early on set the stage for its accent, punctuated by one strategic move after the next—culminating, for now, in its year 2000 synergies: Scitex and Prograph. (Also, at Seybold Boston there were announcements that several more computer management system vendors were joining the printCafe alliance. See our Seybold post-show coverage beginning on page 58 for more information.)
