Y Soft Hardware Solutions Generally Available for YSoft SafeQ Workflow Solutions Platform

Earlier this year, Y Soft announced a major update to YSoft SAFEQ Workflow Solutions Platform. Now as a platform, customers can implement features and modules needed today and easily add additional features and modules using the same underlying framework and architecture, including print management and cost recovery for 3D printers.

YSoft SAFEQ’s platform architecture also extended the company’s commitment to YSoft SAFEQ’s core benefits: reducing print costs, increasing document security and improving employee productivity through custom document capture and automated workflows.

With today’s release of new hardware solutions for YSoft SAFEQ, organizations have additional options to further reduce print and digital transformation infrastructure costs and extend the investment in their current fleet of multifunctional devices (MFDs). The latest hardware solutions that are now globally available provide the following:

• YSoft SAFEQube 2. Expensive servers often drive the high cost of print services. By using SafeQube 2, a lightweight appliance, typically 2-4 times fewer servers can be used to support print services^[1]. When used with Client Based Print Roaming^® (CBPR), a software module in YSoft SAFEQ, SafeQube 2 serves as a local connection point for the MFD’s user interface, to perform authentication tasks and data collection for reducing hardware costs.
   
• YSoft Terminal Pro 4. While SafeQ is embedded into the MFDs of the world’s most popular brands, Terminal Pro 4’s large, 7-inch capacitive touch screen provides a consistent user interface when an organization has multiple MFD brands or when the printer doesn’t support an embedded solution.

Y Soft ensures compatibility of its software and hardware with the major MFD brands from our partners and some MFD partners require formal certification processes. YSoft SAFEQ Workflow Solutions Platform received two certifications. They are:

• bEST certification from Konica Minolta. The bEST certification approves YSoft SAFEQ for Konica Minolta’s portfolio of MFDs.

• Ricoh certification of YSoft SAFEQ integration with Ricoh’s portfolio of MFDs.

“Research shows that a complete solution is more cost-effective than cobbling a solution together from various sources,” said Václav Muchna, Y Soft CEO and co-founder^[2]. “We take pride in designing, manufacturing and testing our own hardware and software to work seamlessly with the MFDs we support.”
