It is at this critical Database Maintenance stage that companies need to realize the potential revenue loss associated with a degrading customer information file. Improving the bottom line means operating on more than a 'sales-expense' mentality. At the next stage of the Transaction Document Life Cycle, Document Preparation, companies can continue to drive quality into their correspondence. Documents need to be modified regularly to meet the demands of both internal and external customers. Print stream processing and presorting offer businesses the ability to respond to regulatory pressures as well as optimize MIS resources.
Companies can achieve savings gains, for example, by using print stream processing technology.
Functional at the print image file, software intercepts output from business applications and modifies it before it gets to the printer. The technology allows changes to be made electronically to documents to support the latest in laser printing and post-processing equipment technologies without burdening the host computer. That translates into cost savings in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. During the final stage of the Transaction Document Life Cycle, ADF, companies can drive quality even further into the fulfillment process. Finishing control marks can be applied to documents for maximum integrity and auditing of each communication piece mailed.
