Data Transfer Process
Before any work can be printed, envelopes sealed, or mail dispatched, data is required to kick off the process. However, the transfer of this data is not always as straightforward as it seems.
Historically, customers have relied on mail or couriers to send data, but what happens if the data is intercepted or stolen? Additionally, what becomes of the media once production is complete? These concerns are something we address with both our customers and prospective clients.
It is crucial to collaborate with customers during the due diligence phase to understand their security requirements for data in transit and incorporate these into the design of the recovery services.
All of these factors must be considered before determining the most appropriate method for transferring data. Regardless of the chosen transfer method, we are equipped to provide support.
How We Can Help You
We offer secure digital data reception and support a variety of protocols. Our services also accommodate numerous types of encrypted data, and we have an extensive range of file decryption tools at your disposal.
Digital Transfers
We offer multiple secure options for data transfer, including SFTP, Connect Direct, and customer-owned servers, all of which can use secure key authentication to ensure safe transmission. Customers can send us data whenever it is convenient for them. We can also retrieve data from customer servers using most protocols and formats.
Once received, all data is securely stored on our servers and only deleted once we receive confirmation from the customer that it is no longer needed. All data is encrypted during transfer and storage, and files are electronically destroyed using industry-standard deletion procedures.
Document Management
Data is essential before any work can be printed or enclosed, but even once obtained, the data may require further processing before it’s usable. Our document management tools enable us to process and manipulate data in various formats, and our document composition tools allow us to create final documents from raw data.
We can handle the following print-ready data formats and work with them directly, or convert them into other formats as necessary:
- ASCII
- AFP
- IPDS
- Meta code
- PCL
- Postscript
- PPML
Our in-house software development team can enhance your documents with customised solutions tailored to your needs or create documents from raw data according to your exact specifications.
