RR Donnelley Premedia Technologies Enhances Customer Soft-proofing
Workflows With ShareStream(R) 3.1 Latest Release of the
SWOP(R)-certified ShareStream Soft-proofing Tool Equips Customers
With Powerful New Document Routing and Comparison Tools CHICAGO,
Feb. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- R. R. Donnelley & Sons
Company (NYSE:RRD) today announced ShareStream 3.1, a significant
upgrade to its soft-proofing tool designed to drive efficiency and
flexibility into the routing and approval of color documents within
customer organizations. Available beginning in March as an
integrated component of the MediaCompass(SM) suite of online tools
from RR Donnelley Premedia Technologies, the new release of
ShareStream offers sophisticated and flexible document
collaboration, routing and approval workflows in a SWOP-certified
color managed environment. "With the release of ShareStream 3.1, we
support an even greater variety of collaboration, routing and
approval workflows," said Grant Miller, Senior Vice President of
Product Planning and Development for RR Donnelley's Premedia
Technologies. "We recognize that no two customer collaboration
workflows are the same, so we have equipped them with the tools to
build, edit and maintain their workflows in unique and powerful
ways." Among the new capabilities of ShareStream 3.1 is an online
workflow builder. Users can build departments, set up users, define
viewing rights and assemble sophisticated routing and approval
workflows based on their own changing needs. This online tool
allows customers to simultaneously support multiple workflows for
different projects and easily monitor approval status across the
enterprise right from their desktop. An "ad-hoc" workflow option
permits the flexibility of e-mail-style spontaneous routing while
retaining the secure, color managed and trackable "single document"
workflow enabled by ShareStream. A new upload tool permits users to
submit their own content for review and automatically insert it
into the proper routing workflow for easier collaboration across
geographical boundaries. A dynamic new "document compare" tool
enables users to easily see the sometimes subtle changes from one
version of a file to the next, and batch-approval tools make it
easier to handle groups of related assets all at once. "This
release of ShareStream demonstrates that soft-proofing has grown
up," said Mary Lee Schneider, President of RR Donnelley Premedia
Technologies. "We demonstrated that accurate color could be viewed
online with our landmark SWOP certification in 2003. Now we're
showing that even the most sophisticated enterprise routing and
approval workflows can be improved by ShareStream. This is just one
of many ways we are uniquely equipped to extend our technology into
our customer's businesses to help them become more successful and
efficient." As RR Donnelley's comprehensive suite of integrated
online asset management, workflow and collaboration tools,
MediaCompass includes the following proprietary tools: -- Image
Merchant(R) for digital asset management. -- ShareStream(R), for
SWOP-certified soft-proofing, document routing and approval --
DemandSelect(SM) for dynamic publishing -- AdSpring(R) for
ad-placement and management workflow -- Photo-flow(R) and
