In today’s fast-paced business environment, mission-critical filing systems need reliable, compliant, and forward-thinking software solutions. Unfortunately, legacy systems like Colorflex Intaglio and Smead ColorBar are showing their age and raising red flags among users. If your organization still relies on outdated technology for its labeling needs, it’s time to consider File Label Express as a better alternative. Here’s why.
Colorflex’s Outdated Technology and Customer Concerns
Over the past year, we have dealt with hundreds of users migrating labels away from legacy applications. Many Colorflex users have recently reported significant concerns about the software’s viability. According to feedback from current customers, Colorflex:
- Fails to respond to customer service requests: In any mission-critical system, customer support is essential. When issues arise, businesses need timely solutions, but users have been left in the dark by Colorflex, with little to no customer service to rely on.
- Relies on outdated infrastructure: Colorflex runs on legacy applications that require deprecated OS components, putting businesses at risk of compliance failures during the next technology review cycle. IT managers, particularly in sectors like banking, have expressed serious concerns about upcoming compliance reviews.
- License server issues: Customers are worried that the Colorflex licensing server will go offline, rendering the software unusable. This uncertainty about the platform’s future has left organizations vulnerable, unsure when or if their software will stop working.
- High costs: On top of all these issues, Colorflex’s costs are significant, making it a risky and expensive solution without future-proofing or proper support.
The Need for Modern Solutions
Filing systems, especially those in industries like healthcare, banking, and law enforcement, must remain compliant, reliable, and forward-compatible. Legacy systems that no longer meet these criteria are becoming severe liabilities—File Label Express steps in as the better alternative.
