Data Processing
Data processing is essential to the accurate preparation and timely delivery of your critical documents. Diamond has the ability to receive client print files in most any format, with all file transfers going through a secure SSL FTP site. We also support PGP or GPG encrypted files.
Our automated process monitors these FTP servers, picks up scheduled files, and processes them – all with built-in checkpoints to ensure 100% accuracy. Processing steps for individual files vary, but it normally begins with performing an audit of the received file and comparing received audit totals to the audit totals the program calculates. Processing will be aborted and notification emails sent if audit totals do not balance. We also check for duplicate files by checking the audit totals from the input file with files previously received. At the end of processing an audit report is generated and is made available for the client to review.
Diamond also has the ability to track each job though our facility. Our Printstream Business Management System ensures that all live jobs are released to the production department through work orders that instruct the operators which activity is to be performed, what items are to be used, what quantity to produce, and the target date. Each work order is assigned a unique barcode, which allows the operators to scan and record time start, operator, machine, consumable and turnover information, for seamless tracking
