Attracting more Business Enhancing job submission, control and communication
These
days all print providers are looking for more business and tools that
make it easier for customers to do business them. One of the most
obvious is remote job submission that's followed up with effective
control and communication. This gives business owners, managers and
equipment operators have more control over print production with less
effort, and customers can maintain closer ownership of their jobs.
does all this and more, helping print service providers better use
online print workflow to capture job orders and deliver them with
efficiency and accuracy.
Competitive necessities Online
environments and their automated workflows have become competitive
necessities for printshops. As web-based services become more popular,
printshops must optimize and streamline their online workflow to work
more productively and with greater customer-centric focus, said Eric
De Goeijen, Vice President of Marketing, Océ North America. As more
work moves online, proven Océ tools help print professionals maintain
the highest standards for quality, speed and service. Printshops can
offer more services, expand their market reach, attract more orders and
increase print volumes.
Document Submission Made Easy With
Océ PRISMAaccess Version 5.0 software, customers can submit jobs to the
printshop as easily as routing work to a local printer. Internal and
external clients can send documents from a desktop using a web driver
or via web submission. Both methods offer customizable job tickets and
personalized tracking. This lets print providers take on more short-run
jobs and confidently commit to fast turnaround and just-in-time
printing. Another new feature is automatic transfer of job ticket
settings to optional software
for prepress steps and make-ready automation. This saves time and
reduces mistakes during job preparation. Easy document submission using
PDF-based workflow makes it more convenient to do business with the
print provider, and contributes to smoother standards-based job
processing.
Faster Response, Fingertip Productivity Océ
PRISMAaccess Version 5.0 software provides tighter job control with
less effort and error. The operator console offers a single overview of
all jobs in production, as well as the ability to customize operator
consoles for increased productivity. Operators are alerted when new
orders come in, and jobs can be assigned to specific operators.
Workflow steps are displayed logically, from acceptance to finished
result.
Saves Time, Reduces Errors Océ PRISMAaccess
Version 5.0 software lets operators send customers personalized emails
and job overviews with links to job previews for approvals. The result
is greater clarity about job requirements, fewer outsourced jobs,
greater confidence in printshop results, and loyal repeat customers.
Greater Cost Transparency Océ
PRISMAaccess Version 5.0 software improves cost transparency with a
cost estimator that generates a reliable indication of how much a job
will cost. Alternative prices can be provided for color only and
black & white only versions of mixed jobs with both color and
black and white pages. And because job invoices are based on job ticket
settings, financial administration is easier and more accountable.
Scalable for Growth and Workload Spikes As
printshops attract more online orders, Océ PRISMAaccess Version 5.0
software can expand to handle a larger customer base and a broader
range of requirements. Up to five web servers can be connected to the
central server, so print shops can provide access to more customers
with no disruption in service. In addition, up to five operator
consoles can be configured providing flexibility for multiple people to
work on different, or the same, steps on any given day in the
printshop.
Modular Integration to Add Capabilities Integration
with other Océ PRISMA® software products lets printshops streamline
workflow and attract business through new services. Océ PRISMAaccess
customers can link to web-to-print services such as
or Océ Net Services. Prepress makeready is accomplished by combining
Océ PRISMAaccess software with Océ PRISMAprepare software. Users can
send jobs to a local reprint archive or use
to automate and accelerate reprint business. Access to a local digital
archive makes it easier to locate files and deliver reprints. Océ
PRISMAaccess Version 5.0 software also has an open JDF interface that
connects to third-party software, allowing print rooms to bring in
other specialized services.
