Oldenburg, Germany/Atlanta, GA, January 13, 2010 - ECCE TERRAM – The innovative solution provider for the Digital Photo market, based in Oldenburg, Germany – will present the new version of its software solution for Photo Labs at the PMA 2010.

Since 2008, online photo orders, with digital pictures printed on traditional photo paper, have surpassed the volume of analog photos in many labs.

Customer demand for unique mementos and personalized photo gifts remains high. Very few software companies can call upon such a vast wealth of experience and knowledge providing complete e-commerce packages for the printing market – solutions for consumers, printers, and photo labs, as well as unique applications for online and in-store needs.

The Internet specialist ECCE TERRAM will present the new versions of its modules at PMA, the international convention and trade show of the US Photo Marketing Association, from February 21 - 23, 2010 in Anaheim, California.
