NearStar DataServer 7 - Flexibility by Design

Slide 1

 

The NearStar approach with DataServer 7 allows customers to do more with less.

As a full-featured integration platform. DataServer has the ability to take all types of print data in from any environment (web submissions, network, mainframe etc) and manage jobs to any printer device or electronic document system is a given.

However, few EMOS/ADF systems provide a fully automated closed-loop capabilities that monitors and tracks jobs from receipt to delivery.
DataServer can split, bundle, commingle, add data, manipulate data, add barcodes or anything else to the datastream before going to the printer.
