IOWA CITY, Iowa - May 10, 2007. MetaCommunications, a leading software developer of cross-platform process management and productivity solutions for the graphic arts industry, today announced it would be exhibiting at PrintEx07 in Sydney, Australia, in partnership with its reseller partner Creative Folks. The PrintEx07 Print and Design show, scheduled for May 24-26, 2007, at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre, is presented by the Graphic Arts Merchants Association of Australia (GAMAA) and the Printing Industries Association of Australia (PIAA).

"The Australian market is very important to us," said Robert T. Long, Executive Vice President of MetaCommunications. "We are delighted that Creative Folks will be able to represent us in this important venue and share the benefits of Workgroups 2006 with the Australian market."

Workgroups 2006 consists of four core components:

• Job Manager, a powerful suite of financial management tools that enable creative and production workgroups to accurately create estimates and quotes, monitor job costs, quickly generate on-demand reporting and invoices, and share information with industry leading accounting systems.
• Virtual Ticket, a configurable job ticketing solution that brings together all the components of your work in a centralized location, including project briefs, job tickets, customer information, associated document files, and more. From this one location Virtual Ticket provides advanced workflow tools to help you manage and automate your processes, dramatically improving productivity, turnaround time, and quality.
• Approval Manager, a tool for managing, tracking, and scheduling any approval process within and across creative and production environments.
• Digital Storage Manager, a powerful storage management solution specially designed for creative, publishing and prepress workgroups, leveraging multiple file servers, near-line storage, and offline media.

By combining all four components in a streamlined, integrated suite, Workgroups 2006 unites and empowers workgroups by facilitating collaboration, automating processes, centralizing information, managing workflows, tracking files, and measuring key financial and productivity metrics.

"We are excited to be able to show Workgroups 2006 at PrintEx," said Matthew Green, Managing Director of Creative Folks. "This innovative suite of products has been well received here, and we expect it to generate a lot of excitement at the show as attendees realize the difference it can make in their productivity and profitability."
