The uDirect family of products are fully scalable solutions
that can expand as your business grows. Pick the uDirect
solution that best meets your needs today – and already be
ahead of the curve when your needs change tomorrow.
Available on Microsoft® Windows® or
Apple® Macintosh platforms, uDirect
seamlessly integrates with Adobe®
InDesign® as a plug-in. This allows designers
to work with a familiar toolset, while
gaining the additional functionality needed
to quickly turn basic designs into powerful,
personalized
print pieces.
Have static elements, such as text, text
on a curve, character styles, images and
layers? Transform them into fully dynamic
elements where the data drives the
design. For example, Christopher can see
his name on the phone he already owns
with an offer to upgrade and receive a free
headset. Generated from the same InDesign
template, Samantha can be encouraged
to upgrade her phone model with an offer
of a free travel charger. It’s all possible –
powered by XMPie.
Several workflow options are available in
the uDirect line, based on the data source
you use. With uDirect Classic and uDirect
Studio, designers can create VDP jobs using
an Excel® file containing straightforward
name and address information. uDirect
Premier users can take advantage of
the more advanced uPlan™ – allowing
designers to use the “Link to Plan” workflow
for jobs requiring the involvement of a
programmer to connect to complex data
sources or write sophisticated business
rules.
XMPie uDirect is a complete solution,
thoughtfully engineered to include every
component of the VDP workflow – data,
design and production – to ensure
complete integration and information flow.
Data
From uDirect Classic’s ability to connect to simple
data tables, to the more sophisticated uPlan and
hosted data source options provided with uDirect
Premier, XMPie solutions offer several methods for
data and business rule planning. A simple, menu-driven approach
helps both novice and expert data professionals connect data
and business logic into easy-to-use objects for variable design.
Design
The uDirect plug-in helps design professionals quickly and easily
create, edit and update variable layouts, all within industry-
standard Adobe InDesign, eliminating the learning curve.
Production
With just a few clicks of the mouse, your print-ready files can be
sent for printing without leaving the familiarity of InDesign.
uDirect Classic lets designers and
marketers enter the world of
one‑to‑one communications by
providing all of the tools necessary
to easily create visually-rich VDP
jobs using a simple data source at a
single workstation. uDirect Classic
is compatible with uDirect Studio,
uDirect Premier and the XMPie
PersonalEffect server-based product
line, so a seamless migration path
exists as your VDP business grows.
uDirect Studio is an integrated suite
of XMPie desktop software tools—
uDirect, uImage® and uChart™ —
that create communications with
more impact and relevance through
advanced variable data image
personalization and design‑rich,
data‑driven graphs and charts.
With uDirect Studio, you can create
impressive variable data‑driven
documents with personalized
images and illustrations using XMPie
uImage and Adobe Photoshop®
and Illustrator®. uChart delivers
attention‑grabbing personalized charts
based on individual recipient data.
uDirect Premier uses advanced
database connectivity and
variable‑data programming. It builds
on uDirect Studio with the addition
of uPlan, so data programmers and
designers can effortlessly collaborate
through an efficient workflow.
uPlan is a complete tool for data and
business rule planning and utilizes
a simple, menu-driven approach,
combined with helpful wizards, to
assist both novice and expert data
professionals in harnessing even the
most complex data and business logic.
uPlan creates the Plan file, which
is essentially the definition of
what the input data looks like, the
programmed business rules, and
the definition of the elements that
will change in the document.
