Enhance and modify print streams on the fly
Locked inside your business application print streams are opportunities to strengthen customer relationships, maximize postal savings, optimize revenue potential, and boost the timeliness, accuracy and efficiency of your paper and digital document production. To unlock these opportunities you need to control your active print streams, a task that until recently, has been difficult or impossible. Fortunately, there’s StreamWeaver®, the powerful software tool that lets you easily enhance and modify print-ready files on the fly — without disrupting operations.
The StreamWeaver® print stream engineering tool from Pitney Bowes Business Insight is a distributed output management solution that facilitates the most advanced distribution strategies for both hard copy printing and digital documents, so you can quickly respond to new opportunities and ever-changing business requirements.
StreamWeaver works with the print-ready files created by your existing applications, so you can achieve high-quality, high-speed implementation of Intelligent Mail® barcoding and file-based processing, postal automation, document consolidation and effective personalization and target marketing. It can handle a variety of challenges typical to high-volume document production environments. From integration with external programs to custom programming logic, StreamWeaver offers solutions for all your print stream needs.
Create and leverage more intelligent documents
StreamWeaver’s document and data control functionality runs on all major business computing platforms and operating systems to help you create highly intelligent customer documents and make better use of customer data. With StreamWeaver, you can:
Unlock the profits in your print stream
Built for advanced engineering and everyday control Improve efficiency with centralized postal automation Reduce printing and mailing costs
StreamWeaver® helps you boost print stream performance by running applications built in StreamWeaver’s programming syntax, which is designed to work with most popular business document formats. StreamWeaver features two development tools – and the flexibility to use one or both. Visual Engineer is for analysis, development and testing and can be used by developers who need to work directly with StreamWeaver’s programming language. IT and production staffs can analyze print streams, as well as develop and test applications to produce modified print streams. Visual Engineer Plus contains AFP and Metacode WYSIWYG viewers.
Leverage StreamWeaver’s integrated solutions
Apply postal automation to all mailings at a central point, to maximize your postal savings. Control postal costs and meet changing USPS® requirements for converting from Postnet to Intellignet Mail® barcodes. Integrate your print stream with Finalist® and CODE-1 Plus™, VeriMove™, MailStream Plus™ and other applications – for quality assurance and improved mail delivery without extensive programming changes.
Increase efficiency and productivity by streamlining the document creation and distribution processes. With StreamWeaver’s Document Consolidation application, you can eliminate unnecessary paper and postage by migrating from simplex to duplex/N-up printing. StreamWeaver® can even match documents with the same destination, and combine them into a single envelope. The net result is higher postal discounts, increased mail deliverability and fewer expenses related to returned mail.
Create more effective communications
Improve targeted and customize customer communications with one-to-one messaging and selective inserting. This increases your response rate while reducing production costs through more effective targeting. You can also extract and present print stream data in electronic document formats–providing your customers with an enhanced website experience.
A smarter use of IT resources
StreamWeaver’s powerful development environment allows changes to be made without affecting existing business applications. That means you can deliver time and cost savings with fewer IT resources needed.
StreamWeaver platform and architecture
StreamWeaver applications are built using the StreamWeaver programming language, which includes “control” information for standard processing and “rules” for exception processing. All StreamWeaver application code is portable across different platforms. The StreamWeaver Visual Engineer, a powerful GUI, based tool, runs on Windows and allows WYSIWYG modification of existing documents and allows comparison of before and after applications. The StreamWeaver Engine runs on Mainframe, Windows® systems, Unix® and Linux.
