3. PersonalEffect™
Powerful, Extendable, Server-Driven Cross-Media Marketing
Every business is different. The volume of work, complexity of campaigns, and response
time needed to complete a job all come into play when determining the solution that
is right for your operation. Available in Solo and Cluster server editions, PersonalEffect
is your professional cross-media marketing, Web-to-print and variable data print
production solution. It allows you to create, produce, deploy, track and measure one-
to-one communications across all channels – print, e-mail, Web and mobile. Interactive
Content Ports (ICPs), another element of PersonalEffect’s core technology, offer
consistency across all new media. For tracking and response optimization, the integrated
uProduce™ Marketing Console provides detailed information on events and actions,
providing flexibility to adapt campaigns for maximum ROI.
PersonalEffect Solo provides a comprehensive suite of modular, scalable tools in one
single server solution. For small-to-medium businesses (SMBs), print providers and
marketing services providers, PersonalEffect Solo is ideal for design, implementation,
management, and tracking and measurement of VDP, personalized Web-to-print
applications and cross-media campaigns.
PersonalEffect Cluster is a robust, extendable line of fault-tolerant servers that delivers
the full power of XMPie solutions to enterprises, operations serving enterprise clients,
and large-scale marketing service providers with high-volume, one-to-one needs. In
addition, the solution features two components – uProduce Director and uProduce
Extension Servers – to help manage production and maximize processing speed.
uStore®
Personalized Web-to-Print
A self-contained add-on application that seamlessly integrates with PersonalEffect,
uStore allows print providers, creative agencies and corporate marketing departments
to quickly set up branded, e-commerce-enabled, online stores and marketing portals for
multiple internal or external customers, without involving programmers. You can tailor
the pricing, preferences, permissions, design customization and print parameters to fit
each user, maintaining brand consistency while capitalizing on local channel market
opportunities. You can create and deploy sites right out-of the-box, driving print and
e-mail campaigns complete with shopping cart and e-commerce modules, or use
XMPie’s API-driven custom Web architecture to create custom
digital storefronts and portals.
XMPie’s ADOR®
Technology
The key to XMPie software is Automatic
Dynamic Object Replacement (ADOR)
technology. ADOR objects are the data
variables for each individual recipient. Once
defined, ADORs can simply be placed into any
media design as if they were text or an image.
For example, if you are designing for a cell
phone provider that categorizes its customers
by phone usage and cell phone model,
each of these variable pieces of information
can be designated ADORs and will change
automatically in the design for each recipient.
ADORs are the key to cross-media as they are
media-independent and hide all of the details
about logic, rules and data. They cleanly
separate the design and data-programming
disciplines, making creating and producing
personalized documents that much simpler.
Open API Architecture
Combines Power, Flexibility
and Scalability
Dynamic publishing technology is constantly
changing, and you need the ability to change
with it. Unlike other solutions, XMPie’s
product architecture is designed using Web
Services Application Programming Interfaces
(APIs) that be can used to develop new,
custom-made applications that seamlessly
integrate with workflow technologies
and third-party databases – both today’s
and tomorrow’s. In addition, many XMPie
products are available with Software
Development Kits (SDKs), including ASP .NET
and C# coding samples, that integrate custom
Web interfaces with other systems to
drive the variable applications.

4. Create Conversations That Click
Marketing is changing. In today’s world, both B2B and B2C
marketers – and the service providers that support them – must
be able to establish ongoing communications across print
and new media with consistent messages that are relevant to
each recipient. Campaigns must become continuously-refined
conversations, not personal lectures. That takes integration.
To be effective, each touch point needs to be viewed not as an
isolated event, but part of a strategic, integrated communications
plan. Given that, the challenge lies not in whether to adopt
variable cross-media as a strategy, but in how to implement it
cost‑effectively and in a way that allows you to expand your reach,
bring relevancy to marketing, and deliver increased results.
By bridging the gap between
digital print and new media,
XMPie is revolutionizing the way
marketers create, implement,
measure and refine one-to-one
campaigns. XMPie’s exclusive
technology makes it possible
to track an entire cross-media
campaign from a single database.
With each contact – across print, e-mail, Web and other new media
– information is collected and instantly updated. This powerful
capability provides new opportunities to continue the dialogue
and provide meaningful follow-up within moments of a customer
or prospect interaction. Updates made in a Web form can be used
to drive dynamic Web content, prompt a phone call from a sales or
customer service representative, or be immediately available for the
next wave of a print campaign.

Integrated, Interactive Cross-Media Campaigns
By combining direct mail, e-commerce and e-mail marketing with Response URLs, custom packaging and
post-sale personalized customer surveys, a targeted, response-generating campaign can be implemented and
optimized for maximum ROI. Response URL (RURL) is XMPie’s terminology for an integrated cross-media response
mechanism. By contrast, a Personalized URL (PURL) is more generic and sometimes relates only to a personalized
website that may not be integrated with any other media (e.g. print, e-mail or Web) in a campaign.
