OUTPUT MANAGEMENTSOLUTIONSIntelligent centralized control for your production workflowThe key to gaining control of your mailstreamP/IProductionIntelligenceTM
Pitney Bowes Emtex SoftwareModern print and mail operations are underOutput Managementpressure to increase productivity, enhanceoperational efficiency, and support increasinglycomplex output requirements.With the current pace of technological innovation and the needto manage legacy and new systems, many organizations face thechallenges of proprietary architectures, complex workflows anddiverse output technology that doesn’t keep pace with changingneeds. The result? Frequent bottlenecks, missed SLAs andsignificantly higher operation costs.Robust output management software provides centralized printand process management to help you make the most of yourproduction workflow, while providing a platform for building an Automated Document Factory (ADF). A robust OutputManagement Solutions results in a more effective asset utilization,improved process, job, and document-level integrity and essentialbusiness continuity capabilities.Effective Output Management Includes: Centralized and Automated WorkflowCentralized and automated workflow provides an openand cost effective approach to job control, tracking,auditing and accounting. Streamlining and automatingprocesses optimize throughput and asset utilization, andenable greater productivity, compliance and cost control. Print Production Management and Real-time“Many-to-Many’ TransformationReal time transformation provides “any job to any” printerflexibility as well as electronic output, enabling legacysystems and an optimized workflow to achieve tighterSLA’s, overcome bottlenecks, minimize device set-ups, andachieve higher throughputs while reducing costs. Real-time Printstream and Workflow Re-engineeringReal-time printstream and workflow re-engineeringenables changes within the printstream itself for content,mail piece processing or postal automation. It allowsthe downstream flexibility to enhance new and existinglegacy applications, optimize mail pieces and smoothlyre-engineer the printstream, rather than having to alterthe underlying legacy business applications.

The key is an all-points-addressable search andchange engine that lets you update documents without changingthe underlying legacy business application. VDE re-engineers theprintstream itself, making changes at the end of the productionprocess. Now, you can extend the life of your legacy documents,increase productivity, and improve end-to-end documentproduction integrity. How do you manage reprintsdownstream?
