WebProof: History and Facts

 

History
WebProof A/S was established in 1998 by CTO Jakob Vedel Abeltoft. At that time, emails and the internet were not commonly used and Google was more or less unknown. Private individuals typically accessed the internet throught 33-56K modems - which puts the development of the internet into perspective.

Since 2000, Martin von Haller Grønbæk has been Chairman of the board and Jan Adeltoft CEO of WebProof.

In 2000, WebProof experienced a breakthrough on the basis of participating in DRUPA and the first PDF World Conference in Copenhagen. This resulted in some of the first users of the, extremely simple version of, WebProof that existed at that time.

WebProof was one of the first companies in Europe to offer customers ASP: in other words, WebProof was a hosted proofing service, whose customers didn't need to invest in software or hardware. The only requirement was, and still is, internet access. WebProof is 100% web-based. You won't need Java, Flash or other similar components.

In 2012, WebProof recieved the Danish business newspaper Børsen's Gazelle Award for one of the fastest-growing companies in Denmark.

 

Behind WebProof
WebProof has its head office in Denmark, where we take care of development, sales and support. In addition, we have a development centre in India, which employs 15 university-educated developers, each with their own area of competencies. The drivers are developed here but are quality-controlled and integrated by the Danish WebProof team.

Because the sales team and the development team are located alongside the support team, customers get the best possible support, not only with regard to techincal support but also in terms of futher product development.

Today, WebProof isn't just an online proofing platform, it's also one of the world's most automatic workflows. This has resulted in the process optimisation of the entire graphic production of large companies such as LEGO, Berlingske Media and ICA. All these companies have over 1000 users and have saved millions and shortened their production times based on LEAN principles.
