Control, information, security, standard technologies

The BackStage Pilot client application, used for all control and monitoring, can be run from any Mac and Windows client in a network. Depending on their user acces rights, operators or customer service staff will be able to manage Job orders, launch background server tasks on files, open files in any local applications, or just monitor the status of files or Job-orders. As in all Esko Software Suite's components, the latest standard technologies are used: Adobe PDF, XML, XMP, JDF, JMF, etc.
