By integrating Mako Core into the heart of the Y Soft SAFEQ enterprise workflow platform, Y Soft was able to re-prioritize its development and focus its resources on delivering its software faster and improving customer support.

THE CHALLENGE

YSoft SAFEQ is an enterprise workflow platform offering print management, document capture and 3D print management services. It needs to parse, convert and render multiple Page Description Languages (PDLs), including PCL5 and PCL/XL. However, building this capability would be time-consuming and require extra resources and ongoing maintenance. Y Soft’s team concluded that outsourcing this task would be the most economical approach, allowing their engineers to concentrate on the company’s mission- critical tasks.

THE SOLUTION

Y Soft chose to integrate Mako as the core technology of YSoft SAFEQ. Mako is a multi-platform technology for creating, interrogating, manipulating and visualizing PDL files, including PDF documents, offering precise control over color, fonts and images.

THE RESULT

Choosing to outsource the work and integrate Mako from Global Graphics Software has allowed the engineers at Y Soft to focus on other priorities, such as delivering the company’s products faster and improving its customer support. “We were confident that Global Graphics Software’s expertise and experience would deliver a solution that met the quality expectations of our customers,” says Adam Melkus, Y Soft SAFEQ chief architect. “We’ve been able to consolidate the licensing of technology libraries, which in turn has reduced the number of SDKs our developers need skills to write for.”

Y Soft SAFEQ Reporting provides easy access to an in-depth analysis of the organization’s print, copy scan and fax usage.

Adam continues: “We are really pleased with the service from Global Graphics Software. Issues have been addressed quickly by their support team, and we have been able to put forward ideas for product enhancement directly to the Mako product manager.”
