Business Challenge

Joh. Enschedé/Van Muysewinkel is a leading european security printing company.

Business Objectives

For the OPOCE, Enschedé had to met business goals including:

  • collect periodically over a telecommunication channel a set of pre-formatted documents processing demands;
  • ensure appropriate processing including format validators, parsing, formatting and printing;
  • package the newly formatted documents;
  • ensure the proper package transmission to OPOCE;
  • in a cost-effective and fault-tolerant manner;

Technical Goals

The technical challenge was demanding including:

  • implement a fault-tolerant workflow management mechanism;
  • integrate into the processing chain, processes running on various technical platforms;
  • ensure an easy administration of the document processing chain.

Solutions Applied

Dixite evaluated enschedé's existing information system, workflow and associated elements and all major characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses of the current data collection/management.

Once our analysis was finalised within a URD, our engineers designed, developed and deployed our solution on a robust platforms enabling the company to meet the mandated requirements for their document collection & processing.

In order to allow a user friendly processing chain management, our solution included a remote administration of the processing queues using browser-based technology. Enschedé was therefore capable of assessing its processing situation and implementing well-informed corrective actions.
