LONDON, ENGLAND, February 24, 2012 (Press-News.org) The latest edition of Brandworkz, Version 5.0 is to be revealed at marketing technology exhibition, TFM&A at Earls Court 2, London on 28 & 29 February.

Brandworkz brand management technology is further strengthened with this major release. Brandworkz 5.0 gives brand and marketing managers more tools than ever before to manage their brands efficiently, increase brand consistency and grow their businesses. With new features integrated with existing modules in the software such as Digital Asset Management, the package is now second to none.

Powerful new features include:

Web-to-Print with Adobe InDesign

Web-to-print automates the creation of on-brand marketing materials. Templates with updatable fields for text and/or images are created in InDesign and uploaded to Brandworkz. These can be accessed by users in the field or marketing teams in different locations and localised to suit their requirements quickly and efficiently. A central marketing team or manager controls what is being produced because the parts of the template which can be updated or changed are pre-defined. Finished artwork is generated as a print-ready pdf.

Workflow & Approval

Workflow & Approval allows marketing managers to oversee and manage multiple marketing production projects. A clear dashboard shows timings and milestones involving one or multiple teams and external suppliers at a glance. Projects are tracked from brief to completion and every team member knows what needs to be done, when. The audit trail and reporting feature allows managers to see where, when and why projects are delayed allowing for improvements in production process.

Document Tracking Alerts

The Brandworkz document tracking alert system keeps users of the system informed when important documents in Brandworkz are changed or updated. Users receive a notification informing them of changes in best practice or brand guidelines.

Jens Lundgaard, Founder & CEO of Brandworkz says "Brandworkz 5.0 has been developed to give marketing and brand managers the best suite of tools available to improve brand management and grow their brands. Brand consistency and efficiency are measurably increased with Web-to-Print because marketing materials can be created fast, yet remain on-brand. Using Workflow and Approval means you get your brand communications to market quicker because production processes can be speeded up just by understanding where the bottle-necks are and why they are happening. The Document Tracking Alerts aim to keeps all staff singing off the same hymn sheet by encouraging greater understanding of the brand by its users, resulting in better brand consistency."

NIST reveals switching mechanism in promising computer memory device

2012-02-24

Sometimes knowing that a new technology works is not enough. You also must know why it works to get marketplace acceptance. New information from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)* about how layered switching devices for novel computer memory systems work, for example, may now allow these structures to come to market sooner, helping bring about faster, lower-powered computers. Switches based on transition-metal oxides have great potential as memory devices that retain their information even when the power is turned off. One type is made by stacking ...

Secondhand smoke results in graft rejection

2012-02-24

A new study published in the American Journal of Transplantation reveals that cigarette smoke exposure, in a cause-effect manner, results in graft rejection that would have been prevented by certain drug treatments. Led by Zhenhua Dai, MD, PhD, of the University of Texas Health Science Center, researchers used mouse transplant models to investigate the impact of second hand smoke (SHS) on transplant survival and its mechanism of action. Seven to eight mice per group were exposed to SHS and treated with or without immunoregulatory agents. They were exposed to SHS 4 weeks ...

A change of heart

2012-02-24

San Diego, Calif. – Beyond the personal tragedy of chronic alcoholism there is heartbreak in the biological sense, too. Scientists know severe alcoholism stresses the heart and that mitochondria, the cellular energy factories, are especially vulnerable to dysfunction. But they don't know the precise mechanism. Now new experiments led by a team at the Wadsworth Center of the New York State Department of Health in Albany, and Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, may provide insights into possible modes of heart damage from alcohol.

"This combination of effects is particularly novel and unexpected," said Louis J. De Felice of Virginia Commonwealth University's School of Medicine in Richmond. "Methamphetamine ...

Invade and conquer: Nicotine's role in promoting heart and blood vessel disease

2012-02-24

San Diego, Calif. – Cigarette smoke has long been considered the main risk factor for heart disease. But new research from Brown University in Providence, R.I., shows that nicotine itself, a component of cigarette smoke, can contribute to the disease process by changing cell structure in a way that promotes migration and invasion of the smooth muscle cells that line blood vessels. In particular, invading cells can remodel structures called podosomes, and this leads to further degradation of vessel integrity. Ultimately, this cellular migration and invasion process gives ...
