Solution Overview

The need for document print centers to be more productive and efficient while managing production schedules drives smart IT managers to Solimar. Our open systems solutions allow organizations to uniquely maximize their investments in legacy and contemporary applications and technologies. Experts in electronic document delivery, Solimar solutions streamline output workflows by enabling documents to be re-engineered instead of recoded.

Production Print and Web Presentment Workflows

Working in conjunction with other Solimar solutions including the Solimar® Print Director™ Enterprise, SOLindexer™ and SOLsearcher™ Enterprise, Rubika™ offers:

• Integration of AFPDS, DJDE/Metacode, IPDS, PCL, PDF, PostScript, TIFF, and VIPP® content into consolidated workflows
• Printing of content on black/white, highlight color, and full color laser printers and high speed cutsheet and continuous feed devices with full fidelity
• Documents get sorted and sent to various finishers and envelopes with intelligent insertions added to mailing
• Web presentment of re-engineered content including correctly collated documents, updated postal information and added marketing messages
