The company’s deep expertise in print description languages (PDL) and document formatting drives solutions that are practical, efficient, robust and production worthy. A complete suite of PDL transformations that include much more than simple transformation – data extraction, font changes, colorization of B & W formatted data, insertion of barcodes to ensure mail piece integrity are just some of the enhancements that can be made. All of these are designed to increase efficiency, allow for better control and increase flexibility in operations.

CrawfordTech’s document reengineering solutions work in conjunction with solutions for total output management workflow. Print and eDelivery options are all accommodated in a consolidated system that provides complete command, control and execution through an easy to use dashboard interface.

AccessibilityNow automates as much as possible, reducing the implementation costs.

STREAMdiff is print stream comparison software which quickly, objectively, and accurately compares AFP, Xerox© Metacode, Postscript, PDF, PCL, and ASCII text files. Because STREAMdiff compares the underlying print file constructs/commands as well as the pixel-level document layout, it can compare print files generated by different CCM/ CXM packages, or compare one print file type to another. For example, STREAMdiff can compare Xerox© Metacode files generated by Oracle© Documerge to AFP files generated

by OpenText Exstream©.

Switch is document QA workflow automation software for designing and implementing automated document quality/testing processes. From launching high-volume batch print comparisons to email notification upon completion of comparison jobs and the creation of a time- and date-stamped testing audit trail, Switch ensures the most efficient document quality assurance processes by minimizing the need for manual intervention.

Paloma’s second document QA solution, ADEPT Suite, scans nightly production print files for branding mistakes or inappropriate language. For example, if a company produces documents for multiple company brands/subsidiaries, ADEPT Suite scans “Subsidiary A’s” production print files to ensure that “Subsidiary B’s” name, website address, etc., have not been accidentally placed on “Subsidiary A’s” documents. Paloma’s clients also scan their documents for profanity or other inappropriate language. When errors are encountered, a report is generated showing all pages containing mistakes so these documents can be pulled from the nightly print run and corrected. ADEPT Suite provides our clients another fully automated quality checkpoint for their customer documents.

Whether you print your own documents or for other companies, Paloma’s document QA solutions will save you time and money while ensuring you produce the highest quality documents.

Joe Pigeon is President, as well as a founding member, of Paloma Print Products. With more than 25 years of experience in the document creation industry, and a diverse background in sales, marketing, and product management, Joe has been instrumental in establishing Paloma’s current leadership position in document quality assurance automation.

EXECUTIVE PROFILE

By focusing on more than solely the development of a print stream comparison tool, Joe has helped Paloma assemble the only end-to-end document quality assurance solutions, which is a key competitive advantage for Paloma’s clients. In addition, Paloma’s keen focus on providing unparalleled client training and ongoing support ensures our clients maximize the return on their investment in our solutions.

Document-based information crucial to many business processes is on a dramatic increase putting increased time and cost pressure on organizations as they attempt to meet ever-changing customer expectations, and most is born digital. The ability to manage all manner of documents, whether scanned, faxed or generated from applications, is critical to maximize efficiency, adaptability and the customer experience, all while reducing costs.

Parascript FormXtra.AI, using Smart Learning, is a recognized trendsetter in automated document identification and data entry solutions. FormXtra.AI turns complex, timeconsuming, costly and error-prone activities common with advanced capture into simple compute time, which creates optimized configurations that enable straight through processing for document classification and separation. FormXtra.AI meets data extraction needs for structured to unstructured data whether text or handwriting.

Parascript supplies the digital workforce with document automation solutions focused on document-oriented processes including transactions, onboarding, compliance and fraud prevention.

Parascript software analyzes over 100 billion documents each year.

To classify and extract data from any document—from simple to very complex, highly variable, multi-page documents—Parascript software requires only a sample data set and its output for system training. Parascript unattended automation is achieved in hours of compute time versus the weeks and months of manual configuration and testing required of alternative tools.

Vice President of Marketing and Product Management at Parascript We are making major advances in data extraction and verification by applying real machine learning to document processing automation including the tasks required to configure and optimize the systems before and after going into production.

EXECUTIVE PROFILE

Our novel use of deep learning has led to new levels of handwriting recognition accuracy and better than human accuracy and speed in field recognition. We have eliminated the need for templates, which tend to become dated quickly in dynamic environments and require regular maintenance to remain relevant. Rulesbased approaches, which generally require developers and SMEs, are no longer necessary either. Stay-tuned for more capabilities in the near future.

Migration simplification.
