Certified for SAP NetWeaver status for Dialogue
Exstream Software has announced its Dialogue 5.0 enterprise document personalization software has achieved certification from SAP AG for integration with the SAP NetWeaver platform.
BDI now encourages customers to challenge the traditional document format, taking advantage of features like dynamic import of third party images into documents at run time (such as checks and graphics).
"When Dialogue was presented to us, all other options fell completely away".
"We were amazed at the unprecedented speed and flexibility Dialogue delivers," said Paul Holtzman, president and CEO of Business Data "It was apparent Exstream had architected a solution that represented everything we were looking for".
"We are excited about our delivery capabilities today and the role that Dialogue will play in our ability to offer more in the future".
A further benefit to BDI is Dialogue's support of a diverse range of output formats for print and electronic communications.
BDI can accept virtually any input stream and convert it to XML for subsequent processing by Dialogue.
Additionally, because Dialogue creates fully composed PDF output, BDI ensures accuracy by posting production samples on the Internet for secure review and approval.
The PDF files are also used for web archive, electronic presentment of statements, and export to COLD and electronic document management systems.
"When our customers are able to expand and grow their businesses because of Dialogue, we are very satisfied," said Davis Marksbury, president and CEO of Exstream Software.
"Knowing that Dialogue helped BDI create a more meaningful product for its customers fulfills our vision for Dialogue".
"Dialogue is designed to exploit every touch point to connect with customers through personalised information that is relevant and timely".
"It is gratifying to see BDI and its customers benefit from its capabilities".
