Please note that the customer is responsible for the security of their network. The

1.1 System Overview
There are three major components in FreeFlow Digital Publisher that move
commands and data within the system. They are:
1. FreeFlow Digital Publisher Order Utility: Used by the print shop to submit
print and ePublishing jobs into FreeFlow Core. All jobs begin with this
utility. For customers using pre-paid credits, their credit balance is
available from an API call to a clearinghouse system.
2. FreeFlow Core: an automation system for preparing jobs for printing and /
or for ePublishing.
3. ePublishing Dashboard: completes the conversion of files received from
Core for web and mobile-device use. Print shop personnel have access to
ePublications to add videos, audio files, links, control layout, and preview
as needed. When ready, the publications are approved and made
available to end-users.
