MultiPress Cloud Services

Maximum availability

MultiPress is always accessible thanks to a smart architecture where systems automatically take over when a component fails. We use a professional datacenter where everything is fully redundant, ensuring that your production workflow never stops unexpectedly.

No more IT worries

Dataline takes care of everything for you, from servers and network connections to software updates and security patches. MultiPress upgrades are included. Maintenance takes place automatically outside office hours, without impacting your production during the day.

Security and compliance

You benefit from the same advanced security used by large multinationals, including an extra layer of login protection (MFA) and intelligent virus scanners. Your company data is far safer in our cloud than on your own server.

Flexibility and scalability

Is your company growing? New colleagues or additional locations can be online and ready to work within minutes. You no longer need to invest upfront in expensive hardware. You simply scale up when you really need it.

Seamless integration with your production

MultiPress Cloud Services feels as if the software is installed directly on your own computer, but with the speed and power of the cloud.

  • Work the way you are used to
    MultiPress works and feels exactly like software installed on your own PC, but faster, safer and always up to date. Through the web browser you always have access to your administration, anytime and anywhere.
  • Direct connection with your machines
    From the cloud you can produce directly on the machines in your company. Via a secure VPN you can also easily control complex jobs such as JDF workflows on your local production systems.
  • With a fast and secure webshop
    We can also host your webshop or e-commerce platform via API. Your webshop is then directly connected to MultiPress, runs in a secure environment and scales automatically when you receive more orders.

FAQ

 

What about my existing MultiPress data?

Existing data is fully migrated to the cloud environment. Dataline plans the migration carefully to minimise disruption to production. Historical data, customer data, quotations, invoices, everything remains available as before.

 

Can I still use local printers and JDF workflows?

Yes. Via a secure VPN connection, MultiPress Cloud integrates seamlessly with local production resources. Printer redirection via RDP makes direct printing possible to any printer in your production environment. JDF-based workflows operate fully through the VPN tunnel.

 

What happens if my internet connection fails?

MultiPress Cloud requires an internet connection for access. In the event of a brief internet outage, production can often continue because local systems, prepress and presses, operate independently. For companies with critical dependency, we recommend redundant internet connections, Dual WAN. Your data remains secure in the cloud and is accessible again as soon as the connection is restored.

 

How long does migration from on-premise to cloud take?

A typical migration takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the current setup. Dataline plans the migration in phases to prevent disruption to production. Employees are trained, test phases ensure validation, and go-live takes place in consultation. Downtime is minimised as much as possible.

 

What are the costs of MultiPress Cloud Services?

Costs depend on the number of users, required resources and specific requirements. MultiPress Cloud works with predictable monthly costs, OPEX, instead of high initial investments, CAPEX. Please contact us for a personal tailored proposal.
