Revenue

Solution Dynamics offers clients a range of integrated document management solutions separated into three revenue streams; outsource services, software

& technology servicesand digital printing & document handling services. Specific elements of these service streams are as follows:

Software & Technology, Solution Dynamics owns the intellectual property in three products,;

Dejar, an Online digital archival and retrieval systemsold stand-alone under licence agreements and also as a hosted service in New Zealand and

Internationally.

Bremy, Digital asset management, workflow and multichannel publishing softwaresold as a licenced product and also as a hosted service in New

Zealand, Australia and the UK.

DejarMail, a secure web based application that takes small quantities of documents, normally uneconomic for mail-house processing, then prepares

and consolidates them for bulk postal delivery or email and subsequent archiving. This improves governance and brand managementand reduces

costs.

Composer, “On-Demand” Content creation software.

In addition to owning the intellectual property for the above products, Solution Dynamics provides programming, consulting and design services that help

clients to distribute marketing and essential communications by mail and electronically. The provision of these services is covered under this category.

Digital Printing & Document Handling Services, the printing of client’s information digitally using high speed laser printers and frequently followed by the

lodgement and distribution of those documents using a variety of machine and other processes.

Outsourced Services, not all components of Solution Dynamics’ solutions are produced internally. External elements such as post, freight, paperand

envelopes are sourced from external suppliers and included in this service stream. Solution Dynamics has long term arrangementswith a number of key

suppliers such as NZ Post for the provision of these services.

An overhead structure including sales, marketing and administration departments provides services for all of the above revenue streams.
