Presentation:
Visible. Secure. Smart. – Output in motion at the BGW
The presentation shows how the BGW has fundamentally modernized its output management in terms of technology and organization. Key elements include the end-to-end processing of PCL and PDF data streams, the integration of different document types, automated address validation, and a new processing chain based on a DocBridge pilot input instance and a complete output instance. Special attention is paid to the active use of Document Desktop for cancellation, monitoring, and tracking of shipments – including status information such as “transfer,” “print,” “sent,” or “canceled.” The daily night processing of daily mail is also highlighted. The presentation highlights how crucial openness, transparency, and active change management were in building trust in the new system – especially among employees who were working without physical printouts for the first time.
