“Hybrid Software is honored to be an instrumental part in SGK’s quest for generating the technology of the future in Order Lifecycle Management,” states Guido Van der Schueren, chairman of the board of Hybrid. “This partnership is natural since Hybrid is targeting the production side of the label and packaging pre-media market, and SGK is strongly focused on the brand owners which form a large part of its customer base. Together, SGK and Hybrid Software can provide better productivity tools resulting in superior service towards the brand owner community. The goal is seamless connectivity across product management, marketing, and advertising to be able to take action across the different platforms.”
