Soldan

VIVA Project Management

Soldan Druck mit Sitz in Essen ist eine mittelständige Druckerei, die dem Hans Soldan Verlag angeschlossen ist. Der steigende Bedarf an Broschüren und Katalogen aus dem Verlagshaus zwang Soldan Druck, sich neuen Technologien zuzuwenden, um die immer enger werdenden Zeitfenster kostengünstiger bedienen zu können.

Training & Support

Training and Workshops

With its training sessions and workshops, VIVA helps you to help yourself. Therefore we train both end users in the use of the software as well as graphic designers, system integrators, developers, consultants and agencies. The training sessions offer both an introduction to the technology and also concrete assistance in the completion of specific tasks. Within the framework of the workshop, we identify with the customer exactly what is needed and develop the strategies and solutions for a successful application of the publishing products in the organisation.

Service and Support

With and after the implementation of VIVA products, the customer has an extensive service and support offer available. Starting with a day, night and weekend service, right up to guaranteed reaction and solution times, VIVA offers »First Level« and »Second Level« support in different languages. A concrete example: A multinational corporation implemented the VIVA technology in fourteen languages. VIVA gave the customer worldwide support in several languages.

Project Management

Security with »Proof of Concept« (POC)

In many cases, customers have problems imagining how a computer can produce a catalog or packaging fully automatically. Sometimes a competing supplier promisedmuch but delivered little. A concrete example: For such cases, VIVA offers a »Proof of Concept« (POC). Within the framework of a prototype it is proven that the software can fulfil its task. If the software is unsuccessful, the customer does not pay a cent. If the solution works, VIVA includes the cost in the project pricing. Thus the customers buys a solution that is tailor-made to function for his specific application. This achieves security and trust.

Project implementation and management

Depending on the order, VIVA takes over the complete management of the project and the responsibility for its implementation. Here we help corporations and service providers to enter easily into an efficient technology showing the way forward. A concrete example: A service provider and his customer wanted to implement the complete VIVA technology and to replace all existing systems in just three months. For time reasons, VIVA took over the project management, built up all the databases, created the templates for the Publishing Server and in the meantime trained the service provider and his customer within the framework of the project implementation (Keyword: »Training on the job«). After all work was completed the service provider and his customer were able to further develop the templates and the databases.

Supply

VIVA offers customers who are worried about large investments or whose resources do not allow a fast project turnover to supply the software within a hosting framework. A concrete example: A corporation wanted to introduce the VIVA publishing technology, but had no resources free in his IT department to manage the project or provide support. The solution: VIVA set up the appropriate servers in its computer centre and offered the service in the form of an ASP/Hosting agreement. The customer received FTP access to the server so that he could organise his data.

Purchase, Financing, Rent and Hosting

A further plus for the application of VIVA products is provided by the financing models. As developer of the software, VIVA can offer financing, rent and hosting options.

Successful History

Since its founding in 1994, VIVA has completed all projects successfully and within the agreed deadlines. This speaks for itself.

Consulting & Development

Example for VIVA Design Consulting
Example for VIVA Design Consulting

Design Consulting

Many graphic designers produce excellent layouts, but seldom take any automation into consideration.

A concrete example:
A concern asked a layout Professor to create a concept for a new catalog layout. The result looked excellent, but for the customer’s application unusable. Our experienced designers and experts in automatic design show you how your layout can be better automated and how you can save even more space – and thereby also money.

VIVA Organisation Consulting

Organisation Consulting

After an extensive analysis, we show you how you can improve your processes in the creation of documents and printed material. If the product information system »VivaGate« is applied, VIVA can use the extensive concept of user rights and roles to improve organisation and processes. With »VivaGate«, all the employees, freelancers, customers, dealers, local country reps, suppliers, and even internal as well as external service suppliers (agencies, printers, translation bureaus) can be organised perfectly.

VIVA Data Consulting

Data Consulting

Experience has shown that the preparation of company data is a truly critical point in the implementation of publishing projects. Together with the customer, VIVA explores the possibilities of using existing databases and data sources, checks the data quality and provides ways and solutions to raise the quality or get around quality problems.

A concrete example:
A customer had over 30,000 images, of which a great many had the same content, but had been saved with another name. The solution: VIVA developed a program, in just a few days, to analyse all images electronically, compare every pixel, rename recognised duplicates automatically and copy them to a predefined folder. This was a task for which a single person would need months to complete.

VIVA Project Management

Project Management

At the start of a project, VIVA creates a specification document, in which the project, its goals, the equipment required, the technology, the organisation, deadlines and the data basis are described exactly. The subsequent implementation of the project is made according to this specification.

VIVA Software Development

Software Development

VIVA offers inexpensive solutions on the basis of its standard products. Within the framework of new customer requirements, VIVA if possible develops new modules, which after development are available to all customers. Thus the costs of a possible program extension are reduced considerably.

A concrete example:
A customer needed to be able to combine his images in a specific order. For this, VIVA developed the universal tool »VivaGate Composer«, with which any elements can be laid out according to requirements.

Developer support

All VIVA products possess an open interface which may be used by third party suppliers and software developers. VIVA offers software developers who want to integrate VIVA products in their developments or organisations an extensive developer service. This includes the supply of the source code for different applications. A concrete example: A customer wanted to combine his product database with the VIVA Publishing Server to produce catalogs. VIVA provided the customer’s development department with suitable examples in source code text that the developer then only needed to integrate into his application. Within one day, the control of the VIVA Publishing Server was integrated into the customer’s database application.
