Native IBM i software eliminates preprinted checks and forms while allowing for storage and distribution of secure electronic documents.
FormFlex native iSeries software lets you print forms and checks on standard HP-compatible laser printers using plain cut sheet paper or store as PDF to automatically email, fax, and electronically file, based on conditions and variables and your business rules. No PC hardware or custom programming is required.
Developer's Take: "Every organization exchanges documents with its business partners, but independent industry studies show that up to 17 percent of an organization's daily revenues are actually consumed by the exchange of these business-critical documents. That means between three and eight weeks of every year, a company is working at full tilt just to pay for the printing and distribution of documents. FormFlex replaces expensive preprinted business forms and checks with professional-looking electronic forms complete with logos, lines, boxes—even password-protected signatures. In addition to the cost-savings provided by automated electronic distribution and paperless electronic filing, FormFlex projects the professional image that most companies desire. In 2010, we enhanced FormFlex with a number of new features, including added security with multiple-level signature password protection, database add-on enabling forms to merge with a database, OCRA font support even in PDF, the ability to insert variables into static text, and other enhancements to improve the flexibility of the FormFlex package."
