| Cost Reduction - Printer Elimination Say Goodbye To Dealing Room Printers! DealHub Printer Replacement Software allows printers from Reuters D3000, D2001, D2002 and EBS to be replaced with an electronic capture mechanism. This greatly reduces costs, time, noise and space. - Quieter working environment
- Savings on maintenance and consumables
- No need for off-site paper storage
- Eliminates off-site transfer costs
- View conversations globally via Web based interface
The software can capture any print feeds (conversations, tickets, audit, general etc) in any combination from all dealing codes including EBS. They are stored in a SQL database and there are a number of ways to access the data: - DHView desktop application - our main database retrieval application
- Internet Explorer or Netscape – via a web based front end
- DBWebView - our Java database retrieval program
Each printer replaced needs a standard PC COM port to terminate on, this can be achieved by using a single PC and standard hardware available worldwide. Hard Copy Print Out
If a desk or a dealer requires a print out of trades that would have been provided by the printer we have a number of ways to achieve this. - The General printer can be configured to print out the data that they are used to
- Our DealHub Print Service can be setup to print out the data required continuously to a Windows printer (as well as storing it in the DB)
- All our software allows printing to the Windows printer
Cost Savings
There are a large number of cost savings to be made, as well as some intangible savings such as the additional space that will be freed up and the reduction in noise. There is no longer a need to replace ink and paper, the storage of boxes containing rolls and rolls of paper for years is eradicated, paper jams will be a thing of the past. Probably the most important cost saving is the eradication of lost dealing time when printers are offline due to faults of being out of paper. Time Savings
The largest saving is in the time it takes to find a conversation, rather than having to search through reams of paper which could takes a few days it can be found in a matter of minutes from the database. The human time used in reconciling dealing queries will be freed up for other functions. Frequently Asked Questions - What happens to conversations?

- How do I retrieve ticket and conversation details?
All printer feeds are stored in a database, which can be accessed and printed from.
