April 2, 2024 — Portland, Ore. - Following the recent launch of its Creative Intelligence Suite℠, Extensis today announced a reseller channel expansion across Belgium, Luxembourg and Holland.
The global leader in innovative font, creative asset, and creative risk management solutions is building on its 25-year partnership with Belgian software distributor, Quantum Systems, to add more resellers to its channel partner program.
For 30 years, Extensis has solved complex problems for creative enterprises through innovative font and creative asset management solutions. Building on the foundations of its industry-leading font managers, Suitcase Fusion and Universal Type Server, Extensis’ new Creative Intelligence Suite was launched in October 2023.
The suite offers two initial subscription levels – Extensis Connect℠ and Extensis Connect + Insight℠ – which integrate with the Adobe Creative Cloud and other popular design applications, providing an add-on business opportunity for a reseller’s creative software portfolio.
The Creative Intelligence Suite has been developed to arm leaders of dispersed creative teams with effective font and creative asset management at scale. It combines the tools designers need to effectively utilize and manage their creative assets with powerful new analytical insights that enable leaders to make fast, effective business decisions, mitigate risk, and empower teams to take informed action.
Quantum Systems will provide its existing and new resellers with related Extensis product training, marketing collateral, sales strategies, and incentives to enable them to communicate these benefits to their customers.
Walter Van Deun, Owner of Quantum Systems, said: “We have great numbers in Belgium and feel there is a big opportunity in the rest of the region to both find new customers and grow existing customers for Extensis. We’ve always felt supported by Extensis throughout our time working together. Any questions we have, whether technical or commercial, we have always received an answer quickly.”
Hakim Bouacha, Channel Manager – EMEA, at Extensis said: “We are delighted to be continuing our European Channel expansion into Belgium, Luxemburg and Holland with our long-standing partner Quantum Systems to give more creative businesses access to our industry-first Creative Intelligence Suite.”
Where historically designers have managed fonts and digital assets in separate, siloed systems, Connect and Connect + Insight form a cohesive Creative Intelligence Suite that breaks these siloes by uniting all creative assets in one location for simpler management.
The Creative Intelligence Suite has two annual subscription levels:
• Extensis Connect is the industry’s first solution that unifies font and digital asset management. Teams of all sizes can now store all creative assets in one location, so the design elements needed for projects are easy to find, manage, share, and integrate with creative software including Adobe Creative Cloud. Connect adds a layer of security and reporting to creative operations through robust permission controls; font license management; single sign-on; and font usage, license compliance, and team utilization and activity reports.
• Extensis Connect + Insight builds upon Connect, adding a layer of creative risk management that mitigates risk in all stages of the creative process, and reduces the need for last minute project auditing fire drills. Connect + Insight’s Project Risk Scanning scans for font usage risks within projects before production, pinpoints identified risks in project files, and provides a Font Risk Assessment Report with suggested steps for risk resolution. This includes six critical font risk areas: missing fonts (including system and subscription fonts), unlicensed fonts, font licenses expiring in less than 90 days, expired font licenses, over utilized font licenses (fonts installed on more systems than the license allows), and outdated font formats.
