- FAQ
What is the ability of the system to support multiple brands and companies?
The Printable system offers functionality to meet your requirements. You control all aspects of site design and setup. The robust catalog capability provides flexibility for meeting your customers' needs.
Am I required to purchase and maintain a server or any hardware to support the solution?
The Printable solution is an ASP model and, therefore, does not require purchasing or maintenance of a server. Your clients' interfaces are hosted in Printable's secure data center on Printable's servers. All that is required to run the application is a computer that is connected to the Internet, Adobe Acrobat, and access to print the submitted jobs (i.e., connectivity to a CLC device).
Are there any limitations in terms of database size, number of jobs, and transaction history database size?
The Printable solution is scalable to meet the needs of your business and your clients' businesses. Currently, the system handles transactions from thousands of customers representing tens of thousands of users.
Does the application provide comprehensive online help to the user (i.e., at the field level, workflow level, process level)?
Active help fields are available throughout the application.
Is the performance of the system impacted when multiple users access the system concurrently? Is there any difference during peak and non-peak times?
The Printable solution is scalable to meet your organization's needs, so the system will not be impacted by a multitude of users accessing the system simultaneously, such as during a peak time. Currently, the system handles transactions from thousands of customers representing tens of thousands of users.
Can the system be used with case-sensitive and case-insensitive databases?
Yes, the system is equipped to handle both.
Does the system provide workflow status updates for each job?
Yes, both the end-user and the production manager can check on the status of a job. The client would check the status of the job from the PrintOne Customer Center, while the printer would access this information from the Printable Dashboard.
What is the optimal recommended end-user client configuration?
The Printable solution can be used in both Windows® and Macintosh® environments. For Windows users, it is recommended to use Windows 2000 or later, with Internet Explorer 6.0 or later; for Macintosh, Mac OS 9.1 or later, with Internet Explorer 5.1 or later.
What are the recommended bandwidth requirements for the Printable solution?
Dial-up access is adequate, but dedicated connections are preferred.
Can the Printable system handle data migration, importing of data, and/or data mapping from existing systems?
The PrintGateway module is the interface that handles these types of system requirements (regarding master, historical, and transactional data). This also would be the interface for ERP systems like Ariba, SAP, or SmartWorks.
Is your product LDAP or Active Directory compliant?
The Printable solution uses Active Directory.
Does your product support the Windows NT® Security and Domain model?
Yes.
Does your product provide role-based security on functionality, objects, and data?

Does your product provide SSL/encryption?
Yes.
Does your product leverage digital certifications or public key encryption? How does it use them?
Digital certificates are used for credit card transactions.
Does your product provide a transaction audit trail?
Yes. The types of transactions that are captured in the audit trails include requisitions, purchases, new sales orders, job tickets, packing lists, and invoices.
What type of network connectivity does the Printable system utilize?
TCP/IP.
What is your typical implementation team (how many people, and in what roles)?
Each implementation is unique in scope and size. As such, the team changes based on each one. A standard team consists of the Account Executive, Director of Sales, Client Product Manager, Support Representative, Training Manager, and the Product Manager for integration.
How long is a typical implementation and what are the assumptions upon which this is based?
This varies by size and scope. The average implementation has a five-to-ten day site preparation and two-to three day system training.
What type of ongoing support do you provide?
Each customer has a Client Project Manager assigned to the account for ongoing support needs. Normal business hours are 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time). There is also an after hours hotline available.
Describe your technical support issue escalation process.
The technical support team handles first-level response to an e-mail. The second level is directed to our ITS support system, and our engineering team handles the third level.
Please describe the user and system training that is included with the acquisition of the proposed system?
Printable Technologies offers complete training for each application suite module. The training can range from two-to-five days, depending on the suite of products selected.
Do you provide training for end-users, developers, and/or system administrators?
At your direction, Printable will offer training to any user group you request. Each Printable module has specific training requirements, so the audience will dictate the program to be used for training.
Where are the training sessions held?
They are held at Printable's headquarters in Solana Beach, California. On-site training is available, but clients are responsible for all travel expenses incurred during the visit. Also, a suitable training area must be provided and a strict training agenda must be adhered to fully.

Yes. New enhancements are included in your agreement. New introductions of new products are not included.
