PRO
Dynamic Document Archive
Faster retrieval, lower storage costs and original format capability
TORONTO, Ontario, September 4,
2007 – Crawford Technologies
Inc. (CrawfordTech) announced today the launch of its new PRO
Dynamic Document Archive
product. PRO
Dynamic Document Archive
is high performance software that stores any print stream in
its native format and allows quick retrieval in a wide variety
of output formats. The software brings many benefits including
reduced storage costs, the elimination of redundant archives
and flexible manipulation and repurposing of the document contents.
The PRO
Dynamic Document Archive allows customers
to archive print streams in their original format, such as IBM
AFP and Xerox Metacode, and utilize mission-critical documents
and data in versatile and robust ways. The software works with
virtually any archival or content management system and eliminates
the need for redundant storage archives. Sub-second retrieval
and presentation times bolster customer service and operational
agility, while cost-saving compression reduces storage and administration
overhead. When combined with the recently announced PRO
Dynamic Document API, the solution brings unlimited flexibility
in the presentation and repurposing of data using a single archive
source.

“Research shows that 98% of companies utilize electronic
delivery for some or all of their documents,” said Ernie
Crawford, President of Crawford Technologies Inc., adding
“As a result, there is a growing demand for solutions
that realistically support the long-term archival of these
documents, in their original format, and can reduce storage
costs while providing responsive retrieval and presentation
times. PRO
Dynamic Document Archive is
our answer to meet that need.”
The flexibility provided by PRO
Dynamic Document Archive,
particularly when implemented with the CrawfordTech
PRO Dynamic Document API,
is what users of print stream archives have been looking for.
Because it is designed specifically for advanced production
print streams, companies find that they no longer must establish
duplicate repositories – one to support display and
one to support print retention. General purpose imaging and
archive solutions simply are not well suited to ingest, retain
and repurpose high-volume print streams. By providing a single
storage source PRO
Dynamic Document Archive
eliminates archive redundancy, saves storage costs and trims
administrative overhead.
“PRO
Dynamic Document Archive
provides not only cost savings, but a host of additional benefits
in terms of document retrieval and repurposing,” says
Stuart Warner, VP of Marketing & Sales at Crawford Technologies
Inc., adding “Companies often struggle to fund increasingly
larger document volumes and are challenged to meet customer
demand for quicker and more responsive retrieval and display
of documents. PRO
Dynamic Document Archive
provides those benefits to both our in-house customers as
well as our service bureau customers by keeping overhead costs
low and providing the ability to meet increasingly stringent
service level agreements.”
