Kehl, Germany - During its annual Worldwide Technical Meeting (WWTM), Dalim Software introduced ES Connect, which ads file preflighting and normalization capabilities to the company's ES product core introduced earlier this year.

During the 'invitation only' event held just outside of Strasbourg, France, key global Dalim Software customers and strategic partners had the opportunity to have a closer look at the company's latest technological developments, and to learn about the company's plans for 2010. The latest feature finding its way into the ES Core, the backbone of Dalim Software's new, streamlined customer-facing environment for online file delivery and approval, is ES Connect.

ES Connect allows the integration of both DALiM TWiST and DALiM MiSTRAL with the ES Core, combining technical processes like preflighting or PDF normalization with the ES business automation platform. For example, PDF files uploaded for visual approval by multiple users can be initially-and automatically-checked whether they match all technical specifications before the regular approval cycle begins. DALiM TWiST also can provide a detailed report, which is accessible through the intuitive ES user interface.

"ES Connect delivers the perfect combination of the powerful DALiM TWiST workflow engine with a file delivery workflow and online approval system in an integrated environment. Together with the ability to use metadata like XMP tickets to drive the process, it increases production efficiencies and reduces manual intervention," says Stéphane Georges, Senior Product Manager at Dalim Software. "And, adding ES to DALiM MiSTRAL helps our clients provide an easy-to-use portal for their customers."

Christopher Graf, Dalim Software's Chief Commercial Officer adds, "Introducing new features and Dalim Software's product roadmap for the next 12 months to our key accounts in a very interactive session has been an invaluable exercise for us. The feedback from different segments of the market helps us to adjust our planning to their requirements-but with ES, we seem to have hit the mark."

ES Connect is available now as part of the ES Core application.
