Case Study: the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services achieves print workflow flexibility and cost savings with Solimar Systems

Production Flexibility with Solimar Systems Keeps Customer Communications Flowing

The Washington State Department of Enterprise Services (DES) Print and Mail Services, which produces nearly 160 million pieces annually, faced challenges in managing its state's printed communications. They needed a scalable and flexible print production workflow to handle customer-supplied files and optimize them for different digital printing technologies. To meet this need, they implemented solutions from Solimar Systems, including Rubika, SOLfusion, and ReadyPDF.

Solimar Systems' solutions, particularly ReadyPDF, optimized PDF files for production, resulting in up to an 89% reduction in file size and decreased storage requirements. The implementation streamlined workflows, lowered production costs by 42% through color optimization, and enabled significant postal savings via address validation. Solimar Systems provided DES Print and Mail with the capability and flexibility to support customers efficiently.
