Allied Printing--Crowning Customers

Server Capabilities
Allied Printing has invested heavily in its server capabilities in order to not only stay in stride with technology, but perhaps remain a step ahead. It also helps to have the range of capability, even if it is not always utilized, according to Kaufman.

"We have a Dalim-scripted, automated workflow that resides on that server, which allows us to have an entirely automated workflow for a varied amount of jobs. This allows huge throughput with a 64-bit operating system vs. Windows NT," he says. "Multiple processors, multi-tasking, multi-threading allows us to have a huge amount of throughput instantaneously. It all goes back to performance. Are all the CPUs being used every minute of the day? No—we'd be making movies like 'Toy Story' or 'Jurassic Park' if we were doing that. But, when we have the need, we're able to ramp up and deliver a product like no one else can."
