AFP Jazz!®

Print stream optimization software for sorting, bundling, and consolidating AFP files. Whether you're an AFP expert or a novice, AFP Jazz! allows you to easily bundle parts of or entire AFP documents, index them, and enhance them with barcodes or other content to achieve optimal post-processing efficiency.

You can also merge AFP documents from multiple print streams into a single envelope so your enterprise benefits from postal savings and can readily integrate documents created with Dialogue software with documents produced from legacy applications.

Benefits

Easy to use—software requires no AFP training or programming

Save on postage costs—control pages per envelope, reduce number of envelopes used, and segregate mailings to optimize postal operations

Maintain legacy applications—when legacy source code is not available or impractical to modify, AFP output can now be easily enhanced to meet changing business objectives

Adopt new technology—easy to evolve to Dialogue software that merges legacy AFP print streams with your Dialogue AFP output

Reduce maintenance—intelligent processing dramatically reduces ongoing maintenance

AFP Viewer

With this WYSIWYG display software, you can view AFP documents on screen exactly as they will be printed, allowing you to perform quality control, make reprints, and search and access archived documents. Recognized for its precision, AFP Viewer supports font, color, and double byte character set (DBCS) language viewing.

Benefits

Boost productivity—quickly correct application errors, modify documents, make reprints, and search archived documents

Reduce processing time and paper usage—avoid unnecessary print runs and reprint only the documents you need

Improve efficiency—easily navigate client information on the fly through enhanced indexing capability

AFP transform products

This line of transforms, including AFP-PDF, AFP-TIFF, AFP-PCL, and AFP-BMP, converts AFP documents into industry-standard formats to support distributed printing, archiving, and delivery to electronic channels.

Benefits

Architecture independence—leverage legacy IBM AFP print architecture with the latest output devices

Meet demand for online delivery—provide a bridge between legacy applications and electronic delivery devices

Maximize printer assets—route AFP documents to available production printers and Internet output formats

Simplify indexing and archiving—index according to AFP page content and integrate into COLD and content management systems

AFP Compare

Designed to support quality assurance and regression testing, AFP Compare is a high-speed comparison utility for viewing two AFP print streams side by side to verify output quality before production.

Benefits

Save time—test document applications in a fraction of the time it takes with manual testing

Reduce printing and production costs—check visual output electronically for quality assurance before running expensive production or print factory processes

Improve accuracy—comparison precision down to a single PEL pinpoints exact changes between print streams

AFP Batch Compare

A high-speed comparison utility for larger AFP print streams to verify output before production. AFP Batch Compare allows you to identify differences between fully composed, production-ready AFP files for more accurate comparison of large print files. It also provides a mechanism for quickly testing the impact of software or system upgrades on production applications. Results may be viewed using AFP Compare.

Benefits

Save time—verify differences between two fully composed print files that would take days to compare manually

Upgrade with confidence—determine impact of software upgrades or infrastructure updates (such as an operating system upgrade) on existing applications

Reduce errors—allows you to test larger volumes of output and capture more formatting scenarios in testing

CQC Manager (France)

Ready-to-use solution that embeds all the rules necessary for compliance with French La Poste products like Tem’Post. CQC Manager streamlines the process of postal distribution according to La Poste contracts for mass mailing

Benefits

Save money—grouping envelopes into bundles and containers based on destination and weight reduces postal costs of as much as 10 percent

Easily integrates—seamlessly integrates with Dialogue and AFP Jazz! by manipulating index files
