Summary of Jonas’ Assignments

Development of a Versatile Document Management System

Jonas has been a central figure in developing a sophisticated document management system for Ropo Capital since 2009. As an Architect/System Developer, he focused on the system’s architecture and enhancement, which handled various documents including printing, e-invoices, email invoices, and archiving. This system, built with Python and MySQL, processes over 300 file types and manages over 100,000 documents daily. It utilizes multi-threaded programs, internal queues, RabbitMQ, distributed systems, and REST APIs to ensure efficient operation.

Implementation of Customer-Specific Solutions

In another project for Ropo Capital, Jonas worked as a Developer to create tailored solutions for the document management system. This involved analyzing customer files from various sectors such as energy companies, municipalities, regions, trade unions, and retailers. The files came in multiple formats including AFP, PDF, CSV, XML, and position-specific formats. Jonas often communicated directly with the customers to develop layouts and test implementations. His work heavily involved Python and Sefas tools like Producer and Designer.

Migration from Quadient Inspire to Sefas Producer and Designer

Between 2022 and 2024, Jonas led a significant migration project for Ropo Capital, moving hundreds of projects from Quadient Inspire to Sefas Producer and Designer. As the Architect/System Developer, he was responsible for preprocessing data, interpreting solutions from Inspire, translating and implementing them in Designer, and developing the necessary platform to handle the new input and output requirements.

Jonas is an experienced consultant with over two decades of versatile experience in the IT industry.

He is adept at working both independently and in teams, primarily focusing on Python system development in message platforms based on Sefas software.

Assignments are typically conducted remotely, with follow-up meetings held online or at the client’s premises.

Jonas specializes in developing platforms for data management and presentation, and has designed and built platforms for most of the major data centers in Sweden, including Ropo Capital, Parajett, Strålfors, iData, MailIT, and also for ODBPO, (which is China’s largest print centre).

Publisure offers a non-proprietary middleware hybrid mail and digital delivery solution.

Rather than implementing proprietary hybrid mail technology from third-party suppliers, our ‘best of breed’ Publisure solution is owned by the customer.

Suppose the customer wishes to use different suppliers (or indeed switch suppliers) for their outsourced physical communications, SMS, email, web portal or Apps. In that case, they can do so quickly and easily without having to re-implement software, re-train users or re-invent document workflows.

Publisure provides a unique  ‘third generation’ AI-enabled print driver capable of integrating, digitising and submitting your unstructured documents through whatever digital (and physical) delivery channels you choose.

The addition of the Publisure Lite digital delivery platform offers each customer the ability to implement a secure least-cost digital workflow incorporating email, SMS and an intuitive web portal at pace without the need for significant re-engineering of existing workflows.

“Publisure are delighted to partner and work with Sefas – the integration of our respective hybrid mail and digital first technologies enable our customers to simply and easily transition their physical documents using a secure and auditable ‘least-cost’, digital first workflow’

Andrew Percival, Managing Director, Publisure
