Product Details
Manage and Output Communications by Customer Preferences
eDeliveryNow® Preference Manger is a core part of the eDeliveryNow® Platform. It aligns customers’ preferred communication channels by capturing, storing, and managing preferences for eDelivery (email, text messaging/SMS, web portal, mobile, social media), accessible documents (PDF, PDF/A, Accessible PDF, HTML5, WCAG 2.1 web content), and traditional (print, mail, phone).
Integrate Customer Communications at the Content Level
The eDeliveryNow Platform has three different Web Services components that are used to integrate business systems and applications at the content level – Sunrise, Riptide® and CCM Gateway.
Sunrise is used to retrieve customer communications from enterprise content management (ECM) repositories and content services platforms (CSP) and transform them on-the-fly to a digital format for viewing at a user’s request.
Riptide® is used to retrieve customer communications in a batch process from enterprise content management (ECM) repositories and content services platforms (CSP). It converts the documents into a common format, e.g., PDF/A and packages the content into digital output bundles.
CCM Gateway is used to transform and transfer customer communications from enterprise content management (ECM) and other business systems to modern CSPs. CCM Gateway supports Hyland Nuxeo, Hyland Alfresco, and Microsoft SharePoint. There is a CCM Gateway Software Development Kit (SDK) for organizations that want to transform and transfer customer communications to other repositories and archives.
Centralize the Orchestration of Customer Communications
At the core of the eDeliveryNow Platform is PRO Conductor. It is a highly configurable and easy-to-use component used to hyper-automate workflows for creating, monitoring, and managing the production and output of customer communication. It is designed to easily integrate with other software systems and hardware. It is the central, comprehensive component needed to orchestrate production workflows for customer communications and documents. As organizations and customer communications evolve, PRO Conductor can be extended and enhanced to accommodate the addition of new business systems and applications or decommissioning legacy solutions.
Design and Configure Customer Communications Once
PRO Designer is a graphical user interface used to create document reengineering templates to update customer communication document formats after design and composition, and before print and eDelivery. It automatically loads customer communication document output resources and renders commands to the PRO Designer interface including fonts, forms, logos, images and colors. Individual objects such as text, images, barcodes and data can be added, edited/moved and removed from pages. Attributes such as color, font, size, and responsiveness can also be changed. Pages can be added, suppressed or removed. If communications contain PII and/or need to be made accessible and/or redacted, then PRO Designer can apply redaction policies and accessibility tags to ensure the document complies with laws and regulations. After a customer communication document template is created, PRO Conductor will schedule a job task for Preference Manager and Operation Express to process, transform and output the document based a customer’s preferred communication touchpoint and channel.
Transform and Reuse Existing Print-Ready Customer Communications
Go Mobile is used in the eDeliveryNow Platform to provide an easy-to-use, comprehensive tagging solution to transform existing composed documents in AFP or PDF into responsive HTML. It repurposes existing documents for mobile devices without extensive redesign efforts, specialized composition software or duplicative web application development. Customer communications that reside in legacy enterprise content management (ECM) archives and modern content services repositories (CSP) can be automatically retrieved and transformed into responsive HTML, allowing these documents to be multichannel and mobile-ready within fractions of a second.
Operations Express and its advanced document transformation engine is a foundational component of the eDeliveryNow Platform. It can transform fully composed, archived, print-ready documents including AFP, Xerox, PDF, PostScript, PCL, and others into modern and accessible formats (PDF, Accessible PDF, and HTML) for multichannel delivery. Operations Express works with PRO Designer to receive input about how a file needs to be transformed. Chosen by top-tier organizations to transform, reengineer, and repurpose print streams, images, and documents, it along with PRO Conductor and all the eDeliveryNow components bring speed, scalability and reliability to multichannel digital output and eDelivery.

Will Your Year-End Print Jobs Process?
Once-a-year print jobs can be a pain. If you're in document operations, it's not unusual to find out (on production day) that something changed since last year and no one told you. You might discover the data structure isn't as expected or documents aren't formatted properly for finishing equipment you upgraded since you last ran the jobs.
