"The extended enterprise enhancements will allow service companies to offer customers more control over document content design, and corporations will be able to outsource different parts of the workflow without compromising business objectives".
"We believe these enhancements have the potential to change the outsourcing model currently used by many production print services companies".
Benefits companies will receive with Dialogue v3.5 include:.
* customised Approval Workflow - create user-defined workflow approval processes, including both parallel-path and serial routing; as many approving groups per level as desired; custom naming of approval states; reject management; and the ability to review detailed tracking information.
* Application Consolidator - commingle output from different Dialogue applications, run at different times, into one sort file for advanced householding, better postal rates, and the ability to break large runs into smaller, more manageable ones.
* Extended Enterprise Enhancements - allows third parties to independently develop marketing and other document content - using their own Dialogue design database - for dynamic inclusion in the production delivery process.
Companies can include up-to-date marketing campaigns in customer communications on a frequent basis without modifying the original document design.
* More Robust Content Management - Explicit object check-in/check-out and locking so only one person can make changes at a time - Hyphenation for sixteen languages to improve productivity and content presentment - AFP and Metacode print stream analysers to easily interpret structures in these complex PDLs.
Other enhancements in Dialogue v3.5 include output to impact line printers, dynamic import of pages and documents into placeholder variables for fulfillment applications, 100% colour fidelity of original images - such as CMYK JPEGs, improved table-in-table rendering for HTML output, and native CMYK rendering for PostScript, PDF, VPS and PPML.
