Trekk Cross-Media Communications has been using ArcWeb Services for several years to generate custom route maps from a residential location to a point of interest for use in direct mail campaigns. These campaigns can range in volume from 10,000 recipients to 250,000 or more. Each requires generation of a custom image.

As demand for this service has grown, the need to produce more maps per hour has also grown. Trekk has evolved the process to increase production from 500-750 map images per hour to more than 20,000 images per hour. Trekk now uses a grid computing architecture to harness the throughput of dozens of CPU’s within our corporate environment that would otherwise go unused.

This presentation will provide a technical overview of the environment created and tips on using ArcWeb Services for this process.
