EFI has announced that it has acquired Group Rhapso S.A. (“Rhapso”), a printing and packaging software solutions developer based in Les Ulis, France. Rhapso’s employees have joined EFI and will be integrated into EFI’s European operations. Rhapso is made up of two software products addressing the printing industry with the Rhapso Graphisoft MIS primarily marketed in the French-speaking countries; and the Rhapso PC-Topp scheduling and production control solution for the corrugated industry, which is sold worldwide and available in 13 languages. The new acquisition will further strengthen EFI’s ERP leadership position in Europe. EFI has continued to invest heavily in the Productivity Software product line. Rhapso MIS and ERP products will become part of the EFI Productivity Software family of products. Graphisoft will also be integrated with EFI Fiery, the leading digital front end platform for Xerox, Canon, Ricoh and Konica Minolta printers and copiers.
