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, along with 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.
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.
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.”
