Today's businesses collect and archive huge amounts of data, integrating it into enterprise applications such as ERP or CRM, but are oftentimes faced with the challenge of outputting the data seamlessly, quickly, and in an aesthetically pleasing format. Yet, Cerenade's Visual eMerge is a simple but comprehensive solution to this challenge. Data is easily merged from the application data source into a usable WYSIWYG format at high speed. Then, the formatted data is printed in a seamless manner to ANY output device (printer, fax) with NO resolution or driver restrictions. Plus, users also have the option of preparing data for envelope stuffing. Finally, Visual eMerge has complete archiving capabilities, logging activities including pending and finished jobs. Ultimately, there is no more trying to integrate incompatible systems together... just a seamless output management solution facilitated by Cerenade!

What are the advantages of Cerenade's Visual eMerge?

Saves time and money

• Visual eMerge offers

- The ability to save time and money by utilizing current data, current formats, and current hardware. Regardless of the software that produces the data, electronic forms can be printed quickly and easily using Visual eMerge.

- The ability to utilize current output devices (printers, fax servers). Delivery method for output and transmission of forms can be selected.

- The ability to utilize current printers (PCL, Laser, Dot Matrix, thermal transfer, and high-speed production printers including Zebra or Xerox).

- The ability to save time with powerful print capabilities and sophisticated forms architecture... forms and data are combined and queued at speeds higher than the rated speed of most printers.

Simple to use

• Visual eMerge offers

- A solution that is high quality and easy to use. Competitive solutions are complex, often involving additional equipment requirements and software additions.

Facilitates multiple applications

• Visual eMerge facilitates many applications including:

- Checks.

- Shipping documents, bill of lading, invoices, statements.

- The ability to print multiple forms from a single field-nominated data stream, such as invoices in multiple languages with different terms and conditions or invoices with credit and debit memos.

- Different logos that can be dynamically embedded without changing the form or data stream.

- Envelope stuffing

Ð The output can also be OMR stamped for recognition by envelope stuffing equipment.

Output that is more powerful and flexible than similar applications

• Visual eMerge enables...

- The creation of dynamic forms that allow portions of a form to appear or disappear depending on whether or not they contain data (i.e., invoices can be printed with 10 line items or 50 lines items, both with no unused white space).

- The ability to perform arithmetic calculations on form data: create subtotals, perform currency conversions, and add data from an external source.

- Implementation of market-focused, personalized messages on customer documents with dynamic capabilities that allow a customer message area to appear or disappear.
