Version 10 of the Switch product suite provides printers and publishers with even better control over workflows in complex and demanding environments. Switch gives publishing professionals more time to focus on creative and value-adding tasks, without the hassle of repetitive tasks. In addition, the automation provided by Switch avoids errors induced by communication problems and manual interventions. Time-consuming and costly consequences of such errors are therefore eliminated. The streamlined production results in fewer errors and a more predictable outcome.
What's new on Switch 10 update 2:
• Improvements to the Woodwing configurators;
• Changes to the Sort Files in job tool;
• Addressed some SwitchClient specific issues;
By automating tasks, Switch not only frees up time, which can be used for more creative and value-adding tasks, it also reduces errors. Switch is available in three versions:
LightSwitch is designed for small publishing companies that wish to free up time for more creative tasks by automating file reception. LightSwitch contains all of the features required to automate the downloading of files from one or more FTP servers. LightSwitch also delivers files through email or FTP to the next step in the workflow. The flow wizard allows users to easily create and modify workflows. LightSwitch also offers professional activity logging and job processing statistics to help your company locate critical points in the workflow.
FullSwitch is ideally suited for larger publishing companies seeking greater integration among their various software applications. FullSwitch introduces configurators that enable third-party applications such as Adobe® Acrobat® Distiller, Adobe® Creative Suite®, Enfocus PitStop Server, and many more to be integrated easily into a flow.
PowerSwitch is primarily designed for use in more complex environments. It uses comprehensive scripting and metadata tools enabling IT administrators to build a smarter and more advanced workflow that integrates seamlessly with third-party technologies. PowerSwitch provides tools to read incoming metadata in various formats including XML, Adobe XMP and JDF. Customised tools can be created to control third-party applications, to integrate with a DAM or MIS system, or to interact with a proprietary solution running in the company. PowerSwitch supports JavaScript (on Mac OS X and Windows), AppleScript (on Mac OS X) and Visual Basic Scripting (on Windows).
