CFS specializes in automating graphics for print, presentation and web. The process of custom development to client specs blended with a time-tested code base and intimate understanding of workflow requirements is a perfect recipe for a happy client. Actually, we've never had any other kind.

HyperGraph

The focus of CFS over the past years has been automating graphs. We have developed a graphing engine from scratch that allows us to quickly automate the creation of any graph design, using any organized data source, and export it in any major file format, including fully editable, native Illustrator files that can be manipulated manually and contain layers and labels for ease of navigation. Our graphing engine has been churning-out graphs for the New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Associated Press, Fidelity Investments, Wellington Management and others for over ten years.

HyperGraph is CFS scalable template-automation interface. It's used daily at the New York Times and other companies.

HyperGraph combines workflow automation and a useful interface for a maximized productivity and extensibility.

Hosted services

CFS now offers hosted automation services. Instead of installing and running the automation on your own systems, we will run it on our servers, giving you access to the finished product while eliminating the need for support, training, personnel and space.

 

Custom development services

What we do is simple: we take your ideas, templates, images, data and workflow requirements and create an automated system that produces the desired results as InDesign or Illustrator documents, PDFs, EPS, image file formats, PowerPoint presentations or web pages and websites.

We can generate layouts, catalogs, books, images, graphs, and just about any other document type you can imagine.
