The World According to Compart
Harald Grumser, COMPART
One of the key tasks of any software manufacturer is the assessment of market trends in order to make the right decisions for further product strategy and development, which extends over many years. The presentation begins by describing briefly some market trends from the past and their implementation in the existing products. The presentation deals with current issues like color printing, offset replacement, digitalization in customer communication, interactive letter writing and commercial processing from the Compart point of view. Finally, the presentation explains the consequences arising therefrom for product development at Compart and how these issues are to be implemented in future products.
