Letterpart Ltd Becomes First UK Organization To Migrate To XyEnterprise Publishing
Software, XPP Version 8
WAKEFIELD, Mass. – March 21, 2007 – XyEnterprise, a leading developer of award-winning XML content management and
multi-channel delivery solutions, announced today that Letterpart
Ltd has successfully upgraded to XyEnterprise’s XPP (XML Professional
Publisher) Version 8.
Letterpart Ltd, based in Reigate, Surrey, provides typesetting services and 24/7
Web-based typesetting with over 200 data uploads per day. Because
of this heavy volume, it was essential that any upgrade to their
infrastructure be deployed seamlessly and function correctly from
the word go.
As the employees of Letterpart arrived for work on Monday 26 February, they began
working with the latest version of XyEnterprise’s XML Professional
Publisher. This signalled a significant achievement for the IT
team at Letterpart. According to Chris Leggett, MD/Proprietor
of Letterpart, “The upgrade from XPP Version 7 to Version 8 only
took about 45 minutes; the preparation took more time!”
Letterpart depends upon XPP and XPP Web Services as their primary business tool,
so it was critical that the upgrade go smoothly to ensure there
was no disruption in service. Before installing XPP Version 8
in their production environment, Letterpart performed pre-upgrade
testing on their development server, ensuring the new version
would function as expected.
In addition to the XPP upgrade, Letterpart also upgraded all of their production
and business systems’ hardware, and commissioned an off-site disaster
recovery facility. “Our new infrastructure gives us one of the
best business continuity plans in our market,” stated Leggett.
XPP Version 8 offers several major enhancements to support global publishing,
including OpenType font support and Unicode compliance. With Unicode
as the underlying system architecture, Version 8 opens up typesetting
market opportunities in Asia and the Far East where Unicode fonts
are essential. This new release of XPP also expands support for
PDF and SVG – industry best practice for graphical formats.
In summing up Chris Leggett said “We were all very pleased at how well the upgrade
went. XPP V8 works very well and adds significant value to the
services we offer. Perhaps the best compliment I can give is that
as far as my customers and staff are concerned, it’s ‘business
as usual’. ”
