Adobe LiveCycle ES (Enterprise Suite) is an integrated server solution that combines data acquisition, information security, document creation, process management and services related to content to simplify the creation and deployment of advanced and attractive applications that reduce paper use, accelerate decision-making capacity and at the same time ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
Organizations have never invested so much as today in online channels to connect their business applications to the networks of customers, partners and suppliers. These interactive applications that connect people outside the company with internal applications, let any company manage information more quickly and accurately, improve the quality of services and reduce costly operational cycle times. Customers, partners and suppliers can access the products and services at any time and any place.
However, despite these advantages, in the public organisations users are not involved in the interactive process. 60% of people still prefer to go in person to a public entity for services available online. Only 10% of bank customers are likely to perform online any normal transaction. To involve customers into business processes, it is necessary to present information clearly, in an intuitive and innovative way in order to encourage interaction and reduce the dropout rate of transactions. This is probably still due to the difficulty in user interfaces. Online applications must be convincing and represent a unique experience for customers. Moreover, it is necessary to simplify any slow or overcomplicated process. Adobe LiveCycle Enterprise Suite, thanks to the combination of the Adobe PDF and Flash technologies, thanks to components of scalable solutions and standards-based architecture, provides business organizations with all the tools to create and deliver engaging applications which are capable of extending processes beyond the corporate network. The online application forms allow the company to significantly save on costs and offer a more productive and positive experience to customers, citizens, partners and employees.
The forms must be intuitive and interactive, otherwise will not be used and it should also have precise and appealing characteristics. Offering more engaging processes, with the transition from paper forms to advanced online and interactive forms. Reduce development time with intuitive and integrated resources for developers. Protect confidential information to inspire confidence on both sides of a transaction. The company hence must be developed with applications that extend inside and outside the firewall. Making business processes end-to-end to create a perfect combination of communications electronically and on paper is both possible and desirable.
Adobe has recently defined two solutions inside the Adobe LiveCycle Enterprise Suite: Adobe LiveCycle Production Print ES and LiveCycle Output ES. These two new applications will increase the performance during the production process and the management of high volumes of documents and besides allowing to handle requests from on-demand applications. Both products are integrated into the suite to improve further the workflow from creation to distribution of the PDF documents. From a technical point of view Adobe LiveCycle Enterprise Suite is an integrated J2EE server solution that combines electronic forms, process management, security and generation of documents in order to simplify the creation and deployment of advanced and attractive applications that reduce consumption of paper, accelerate the decision-making capacity and ensure compliance to regulatory requirements.
