Welcome to the overview of the Solimar Director Enterprise version 9.2 update webcast. We're excited to bring this major upgrade to market and continue to enhance our user experience with our solutions.
The topics this session covers includes a bit of historical background and an overview of the Solimar Print Director Enterprise, or Speedy, as it's affectionately known and then what's new with version 9.2. SPDE is a mature solution with a large installation base that plays an important role in Solimar's overall Chemistry Solution Platform. It fits into all of the areas of our Chemistry production platform workflows as it provides an onramp to our PDF centric workflows and an off ramp back to non-PDF workflows while providing additional data optimizations, conversions, job management and device connectivity.
Before expanding on the new functionality, a quick summary of SPDE's most common usage is that as an operator interface, it provides a method to direct and release jobs to output devices and has a manual page reprint workflow. For reporting, it logs activity messages that can be coordinated with our dashboard for record of processing activity into a database which provides a history that can be viewed and reported on for current and historical information.
SPDE serves as a job distribution solution with the various supported input and output communication protocols that can help support when, where, and how jobs are processed with secure connections. And it supports converting to and from various data streams such as Xerox VIPP, Xerox LCDS, Metacode, TIFF, AFP, PDF and PostScript. In addition to the direct conversions, it provides robust optimizations and utility functionality for the various data streams that can improve production workflows and performance.
