Automated Document Factory
Multi-Channel delivery with feedback-loop
Papyrus Output Management
Client Challenge
To create and deliver mission-critical business documents (high-volume, online and ad-hoc) better and cheaper with improved efficiencies and quality control across platforms and output channels. Automating and monitoring the entire, end-to-end document production process as a manufacturing process, from raw business data to formatting into digital documents and delivery to multiple output channels, including post-processing, bundling and enveloping control. Overcoming fragmented IT environments with multiple operating systems, hardware dependencies and island solutions, to save resources and cost with central management and control for all electronic and printed output and to gain a single, consolidated view of operation.
"Of all the participants for this research (2022), Papyrus Software ADF is the only solution supporting digital channels with the same level of tracking and control as print. I think the product really stands out as a leader in digital ADF."Rich Huff
Papyrus Document Design and Formatting Architecture
The unique approach of Papyrus Software allows the corporation to have a single template for all output channels. One central document building block library and reusing elements across print/PDF & HTML guarantees efficiency and corporate design.
Papyrus achieves multi-channel output by supporting major document architectures such as AFP and PDF. Papyrus software transforms the documents to the target channel at distribution time for utmost channel independence. Both AFP and PDF can be directly created when formatting including document index and additional output formats for print such as IPDS, PCL, Postscript, Metacode, IJPDS, TIFF are transparently available with the Papyrus Print Server. E-delivery per email/HTML, email/PDF, Webportal, Mobile, sms and email notification is available. Papyrus ADF Automated Document Factory allows delivery administration and management including the tracking, tracing and monitoring of all jobs starting with receiving the data and completing when documents are archived.

ADF Print and e-delivery Workplace
Papyrus Platform Process Control across platforms, channels, devices and users
Enterprise dashboard presenting all communication channels
The Papyrus Automated Document Factory (ADF) provides businesses with intelligent, end-to-end automation of print and mail shop production processes usually handled manually. The ADF includes unique features for complete centralized lifecycle management - across all platforms - of all document resources from data, formatting, printing and post-processing to multichannel delivery to archiving. Documents can be tracked seamlessly from creation over centralized or decentralized printing to final enveloping in the letter shop.
The specific strengths of ISIS Papyrus have been recognized in several independent studies, each of which concluded that ISIS Papyrus covers all the elements of ADF 2.0. What is even more remarkable is that ISIS Papyrus is the only non-hardware vendor to achieve this feat, making ISIS Papyrus solutions completely independent of hardware or OS prerequisites.
Central Document Pool
Central collection of all corporate documents types from batch/online/on demand production, letters from front office users and any other PDF or AFP document in the central document pool database for electronic bundling, sorting, merging and channel matched re-composition at time of delivery.
At this time each page can be augmented with additional information, such as a barcode, page numbering, a message on available white space or as an overprint such as the word COPY. Big document volumes formatted from different data sources at different times can be postal optimized, sorted, bundled for mailings using the Papyrus Document Pool. Papyrus comes with priority mail functions, weight optimization for best postal fees and discount calculations. Papyrus is certified to perform postal calculations in Germany and the UK but can also interface with third party programs performing such tasks. Our automated document factory framework works for both print and e-delivery. Every document has a global unique identifier which is used in our automated document factory to track if the document has passed the inserter or if the email has been delivered and opened. In addition Papyrus can also receive feedback on mailed pieces from the enveloping machine.

Communication Tracking and Reporting
Papyrus has tracking, tracing, monitoring and auditing capabilities, and the system can generate any type of report from the data it collects. The user defines which data is collected. There are many standard reports available but any further report needed is easily generated. Further Papyrus comes with an Application Performance Analyzer which monitors the complete network for performance and bottlenecks. Also such reports are produced. Our solution frameworks contain such analytics i.e. delivery per channel, email open and bounced, building block usage in templates, letter template usage trends for batch and interactive.
Archiving
Papyrus WebArchive is a short term and long term object archive with a common key information, supporting digital signature and the uploading of any document or data, video or voice from any source including all processes. Papyrus WebArchive interfaces with the Papyrus WebRepository for all administrative, management and BPM functions. It is a distributed object storage (depot) in a peer to peer TCP/IP network with unlimited nodes. It seamlessly interfaces through the CMIS Adapter with other archives such as Filenet or Documentum. Viewing of archived content is based on the security definition in the WebRepository and the same Papyrus Client/Desktop used for letter writing and printing can be used for viewing. Papyrus also offers a license free AFP viewer.
