Itrezzo Partners With Electronics For Imaging To Achieve Wireless Breakthrough
Itrezzo enables its corporate BlackBerry Customers to print to any printer wirelessly with PrintMe™
Campbell, CA - Wireless tools provider itrezzo announced today that it has partnered with Electronics for Imaging (EFI), the world leader in enabling networked printing solutions, to launch PrintMe Networks™ the new standard in Internet printing. Today's partnership marks a breakthrough for the mobile professional by overcoming a major obstacle - printing while away from the office.
Under the new partnership, EFI will provide itrezzo with access to its powerful PrintMe network and technology, while itrezzo will extend EFI's reach to the rapidly expanding BlackBerry™ wireless user community through its itrezzoAgent software for BlackBerry.
"Itrezzo is extremely excited to be part of EFI's PrintMe launch," commented Tim Koltek, itrezzo's CEO. "Our users are highly mobile, often finding themselves in airline lounges, hotels and remote offices. Being able to obtain high quality, black and white or color printouts with a double-click from the BlackBerry Wireless Handheld™ makes the combination of BlackBerry, itrezzoAgent and PrintMe a powerful tool for mobile business."
Itrezzo has already made a name for itself as a leading attachment handling solution provider for the BlackBerry solution. With the recent introduction of its itrezzoAgent applet, itrezzo has enhanced that solution by allowing double-click access to over 35 attachment file types. With the new EFI partnership, BlackBerry users with itrezzo's applications can now simply select PrintMe and easily print anytime and anywhere to any PrintMe enabled printer.
"EFI is pleased to partner with itrezzo on bringing PrintMe to their corporate customers," said PrintMe General Manager Ofer Tenenbaum. "Handheld users will be able to turn them into a full-service virtual office because they can now easily print out email messages and attachments and read them away from the office."
