FlexServer®
Centralized and Automated Workflow
Organizations today are under pressure to improve bottom line performance
by improving the efficiency of the document production workflow.
They also face significant challenges in integrating competing standards,
optimizing document integrity, meeting service level agreements
(SLAs), adding value to documents with highlight color, and managing
multi-site, multi-vendor, multi-platform environments.
The key to improving your processes and your documents is intelligent
document management technology that optimizes every step of the
workflow—from job event alerts to job level tracking to managing
finishing devices. FlexServer® is an advanced, Unix-based
enterprise output management solution that reduces costs by automating
manual processes, balancing workloads, and maximizing your organization’s
print assets.
Features
- Robust solution for centralizing print job management and control
- Powerful rules based workflow tool for automating regular job
processing tasks
- Automated multi-site job distribution for workload balancing
and disaster recovery
- Drives printers natively or integrates with P/I™ Output
Manager (formerly VIP) for print stream transformation
- Extensive centralized job accounting and reporting
- Host based job submission clients for IBM z/OS, Unix and windows
environments
- Job event alerts based on pre-determined event triggers via
FlexAlert™
- Integrates with finishing and document tracking systems
- Automatic routing of JES2 & JES3 spool files to the server
without JCL changes
- End-to-end job tracking via FlexTrack™
- Automatic resource checking, downloading and synchronization
Enable any print stream to be sent to P/I Output Manager or FlexServer
for all common PDLs with checkpoint restart and compression capabilities
using JESConnect. By combining JESConnect with
P/I Output Manager software, you have a highly effective, server-based
replacement for IBM PSF. When combined with the RESConnect
module, it supports automated host-to-server resource management
intelligently downloadiing job resources from an MVS or z/OS mainframe
to P/I Output Manager or FlexServer via TCP/IP. Supporting AFP and
LCDS/Metacode resources, RESConnect minimizes CPU cycles and network
I/O by only downloading resources required for jobs.
