DataProse attracts new clients with Solimar’s ReadyPDF

Based in Coppell, Texas, the company focuses on converting customer data into electronic presentment and cost-effective production print output. Its business model requires a high degree of workflow automation. DataProse selected the ReadyPDF server combined with other products from Solimar’s Chemistry platform to achieve a tangible increase in efficiency across many areas.

The company utilizes several products in the Chemistry platform, including the Solimar Print Director Enterprise, Rubika, and SOLsearcher Enterprise, which provide indexing, storing, and production print management.

‘Using Solimar’s ReadyPDF platform, we can reduce PDF file sizes by up to a substantial 95 percent, which dramatically streamlines our print output and creates an optimized file for fast e-presentment online,’ said Brian Ray, chief technology officer for DataProse. ‘We have been very satisfied with the results using ReadyPDF and continue to find more ways to incorporate it in our overall workflow to further improve efficiencies across the business.’

The company required a technology that would standardize all incoming PDF files before further processing occurred in the print production workflow. ReadyPDF enables PDF files to be processed more efficiently for e-delivery, archiving, and production printing. This benefits DataProse in streamlining both its pre- and post-press workflow processes.

‘With large print runs in the tens of thousands, we need to prepare and process many jobs in a single shift,’ added Ray. ‘As our client base grew and we spanned into new sectors, we quickly realized the changing mix, quantity, and quality of file types in use was quite a challenge. ReadyPDF standardized everything and vastly improves our overall consumer experience.’

ReadyPDF can significantly reduce and, in some cases, negate the need for operator intervention when issues arise, making it fully automated. This is especially beneficial for the DataProse team as it works with multiple printing hardware vendors across different locations. Additionally, with enhanced capabilities, the company saw the onboarding of new customers (working with a pure PDF application) halved from 60-90 days to 30-45 days.

‘We are over the moon with how successful our platform has been in enabling DataProse to streamline its workflow and not only keep customers happy but attract new ones,’ said Jonathan Malone-McGrew, senior director of engagement at Solimar Systems. ‘The way in which ReadyPDF standardizes and optimizes data aligns perfectly with the automated workflow that they use.’
