Océ PRISMA ADF Platform helps production operations gain enterprise
visibility for integrated transaction tracking
Chicago – September 12,
2011 – Océ, a Canon Group company and an international leader in digital
document management, today announced a new Océ PRISMA® end-to-end automated
document factory (ADF) platform. The state-of-the-art platform addresses the
need for multi-channel customer communications, broader workflow automation,
open integration and enterprise visibility.
"Given the greater demands
for compliance and accountability, tracking jobs strictly within the production
environment is no longer enough. Now, the broader scope of the Océ PRISMA ADF
platform responds to the market need for greater emphasis on communications ROI,
multi-channel outreach and competitive expansion of service capabilities," said
Francis McMahon, Vice President of Marketing, Océ North America Production
Printing Systems.
Making ADF More Useful
High-volume
transaction shops and service bureaus implement ADF methods to correct broken
processes, optimize systems, increase document integrity and add new services.
ADF also continues to attract companies that have stringent SLA requirements and
multiple production locations.
The Océ PRISMA ADF platform connects
production processes with business processes, so information can be shared
across all parts of the organization. The three key pillars of the Océ PRISMA
ADF approach are:
- Workflow Automation guides the production process from end to end.
- Open Integration links business and production processes.
- Enterprise Visibility tracks business transactions through all facets
of the distribution process.
The Océ PRISMA ADF solution appeals to
customers who have a wide variety of business applications and mixed production
solutions, along with a requirement for high output integrity. The Océ PRISMA
ADF workflow also benefits companies that want visibility into overall
production performance, customers who need to distribute communication across
multiple channels, and production operations that want to increase their
business value to their organization.
Key business benefits include:
- Increased efficiencies through optimization
- Tighter workflow integrity through process integration
- Reduced operating expenses
- Improved cross-department communication for better enterprise visibility
- Real-time tracking and transaction-level reporting
- End-to-end SLA monitoring and alerts
- Flexible "backbone" and customizable workflow for dynamic response
- Centralized dashboard for convenient end-to-end visibility
