Synapse Director provides the job management and tracking tools already built into Prinergy for the firms Brisque and Spire workflows.
To date it has been discussed as a future component of the Synapse suite as the production manager component, but had not been announced as a product.
Synapse Director will be released in 2003 and will probably be initially available for Brisque. To gain the full functionality of Synapse Director, Brisque users will have to upgrade to a forthcoming version, Brisque 5, although it is expected that some functions will work with Brisque 4.
While providing job management and tracking such as load balancing across multiple digital front-ends, it will allow Creos non-Prinergy workflows to connect to MIS via Synapse Link.
Synapse Director is based on an Oracle database to log all the activities carried out by the pre-press workflow.
