SAN DIEGO, CA — Solimar Systems, Inc., a leading provider of workflow software solutions for print production and digital communications, announces the successful implementation of ReadyPDF® Prepress Server at BC DirectGroup GmbH, a prominent German print management company. The implementation has achieved remarkable results, with BC DirectGroup reporting a 100% success rate in PDF optimization for their high-volume production print and mail environment.

“ReadyPDF continues to demonstrate its robust capabilities in enterprise environments, enabling our customers to overcome complex PDF challenges while maintaining peak operational efficiency,” said Mary Ann Rowan, Chief Experience Officer at Solimar Systems. “BC DirectGroup’s success story exemplifies how our solutions can transform production workflows for print service providers handling mission-critical communications.”

The Berlin-based print service provider, processing nearly 90,000 files daily for over 1,800 clients, implemented ReadyPDF to address challenges with inefficiently structured PDF files from various sources.
