Dow Corning Selects LP Plus as Solution to Improve Critical NT Printing Services

Dayton, Ohio
-- Today, Plus Technologies announced that Dow Corning has selected WinPrint Plus Server to improve performance of critical NT printing services worldwide. Dow Corning has deployed WinPrint Plus on NT servers throughout the world. The implementation of WinPrint Plus automates the delivery of information to create forms that are required at Dow Corning facilities for finished goods to be transported. WinPrint Plus receives data from Dow Corning's Sun UNIX servers running in their SAP implementation. After receiving the data, WinPrint Plus initiates a third party electronic forms software package to create the forms needed by the shipping organization. By installing WinPrint Plus, Dow Corning has been able to speed up the process of creating these documents, and increased system uptime. System uptime is very critical because a delay in transporting finished goods can slow down or stop the production at the facility.

"This is a very innovative way to use WinPrint Plus and demonstrates the value of integrating UNIX systems and NT systems to improve performance. This innovation is a result of a very cooperative team spirit between Plus Technologies and Dow Corning," said Michael Visser, VP and GM of Plus Technologies. Added Visser, "We are very proud to include a company like Dow Corning in our customer reference list. They were a longtime user of LP Plus supporting over 2000 printers worldwide and they asked us to help them with this Output Management need and together we devised a solution based on WinPrint Plus."

WinPrint Plus integrates Windows 95/98 clients and NT servers to any UNIX system. Users can send jobs from the NT server or PC to the UNIX system for printing on any network printer. In addition, users can send UNIX print jobs to the NT server or PC for printing.

Plus Technologies, A Division of Digital Controls Corporation, is part of a thirty-year-old Technology Solutions Integration company located in Springboro, Ohio. Plus Technologies provides Print Management, Report Distribution, and Output Management Solutions for the UNIX and NT marketplace.
