[Böblingen, January 15, 2013] – DocBridge Delta for automatic document comparison soon
available in German – demand growing in Europe and North America
DocBridge Delta,
the platform-independent software for automatic document comparison will be
available in German starting in 2013. By expanding the program, originally
available only in English, Compart is responding to the increasing demand in
Europe. DocBridge Delta has enjoyed years of success in North America,
including at Naehas and Japs-Olson, and the trend is growing. But the demand
for DocBridge Delta is also on the rise in the German-speaking world, as well
as in Western and Southern Europe. Projects in Germany are currently underway
at the Federal Employment Office, the Broadcast License Fee Collection Agency
(GEZ) and the Bertelsmann affiliate, arvato direct services Gütersloh GmbH.
Compart anticipates that the new language version will have even more companies
choosing DocBridge Delta to meet their needs. In the German-speaking countries
in particular Compart sees tremendous market potential.
Document diversity is growing, along with quality
requirements
DocBridge Delta
is aimed primarily at industries with a traditionally high document volume,
such as banks, insurers, utilities, telecommunications providers and public
administrations. Here there is a demand for easy-to-use tools to compare documents
with slightly different content or layout changes. Quality assurance in
document checking is essential, last but not least to ensure that unwanted
changes do not result from updates to the document creation software. More
efficient methods of checking are sought that can be integrated, if possible,
into the entire document creation process. Thomas Funke, Vice President Product
Management, at Compart: "Reliable
and efficient document comparison is growing in importance in production
environments where reducing the misprint rate due to incorrectly implemented
changes or out-of-date applications is the key. With DocBridge Delta, we provide
companies with a tool that automates the check process with that very goal in
mind, and makes it more reliable."
Comfortable graphical user interface simplifies
configuration
DocBridge Delta
electronically detects and analyses differences between individual documents,
visualizing them simultaneously. Objects coded in the files are analyzed down
to the last detail structure and differences are displayed object by object.
Certain areas can be excluded from the comparison, like the variable address
field.
For the visual
comparison, the documents to be compared are first converted into pixel images
of equal resolution before the comparison takes place. Matching pixels are
gray, a pixel that occurs only in the reference document is green and its
counterpart in the comparison file is red. This makes it easy to see even the
tiniest differences in objects.
The software is
easy to use and simplifies configuration for the user. He or she can define the
individual check criteria using drag & drop and view the detailed results
as a PDF. This allows even users without extensive programming knowledge to
configure customized workflows. Command-line programming is also available.
