Automated Document Factory (ADF)
One of the most important innovations to transform document production
is the use of factory production techniques to automate document
production and management. Implementing an Automated Document Factory
(ADF) reduces errors, lowers costs, increases productivity, enhances
document integrity, and improves document presentation.
The modern ADF comprises four key components—input, transformation,
delivery, and control and reporting. To optimize these key areas,
Emtex builds on a fundamental ADF philosophy—plan strategically
and implement tactically. This means implementing open solutions
that don t tie you to a specific vendor, identifying and deploying
"quick win" projects that provide maximum benefits with
minimum investments, and planning for migration to a full ADF over
time.
Leveraging extensive experience in designing, developing, and
deploying ADF solutions, Emtex VIP™,VDE™, DFWorks®
and Flexserver® solutions provide essential ADF building blocks.
Through integration with other Pitney Bowes Emtex Software solutions
and ADF partner products, Pitney Bowes Emtex Software can help you
progress further along the ADF value curve, automating processes
in four key areas:
