The IBM i Server Platform

Written by Ken Kramer. Posted in Blog

IBM i: The Most Amazing Server Platform You’ve Probably Never Heard Of

The IBM i

The unique characteristics of the IBM i platform and the legendary loyalty of its users mean that there is a large void between those who know the platform intimately and those who are unfamiliar with it.

The IBM i is misunderstood

IBM i has one of the richest histories in the marketplace and has managed to sustain one of the most loyal customer bases in the market today. However, because of its long history, the platform is also vulnerable to biases from nonusers — primarily because these nonusers have not had an opportunity to get acquainted with the platform. This lack of understanding is both to the detriment of organizations that, as a result, do not consider the platform and to IBM.

The IBM i, AIX, and Linux versatility

Organizations that run their business on the IBM i platform take advantage of the fact that the platform requires minimal administrative support to run high-volume transactions and maintain the core enterprise database; that it is easy to upgrade when new operating system (OS) versions arrive; that thousands of Independent Software Vendor (ISV) solutions and custom applications simply run on the platform without requiring complex integrations; and that the platform is open source–friendly and supports modern popular languages. Open source software runs on IBM i by leveraging the POWER processor’s OS versatility. This versatility is such that organizations can run all three Power Systems operating systems (IBM i, AIX, and Linux) in different partitions on one physical server.

Safest server platform available

Security on the IBM i platform is flexible enough to meet the requirements of a wide range of users and situations. In a world with the level of threats we have today (Trojans, ransom wear and hardware exposures), a platform with integrated hardware and software that is nearly invulnerable to these threats, is a godsend. Particularly after the passage of General Data Protection Regulations (GDPRs) for the European Union and similar laws in California and other parts of the world. This is not to mention a requirement for folks who want to avoid the infamy of a major breach (explaining why banking and finance firms are huge fans). IBM i’s enhanced security features implement the latest industry standard practices that protect critical business applications and data.

Independent Service Vendor

inFORM Decisions has been an Independent Service Vendor specializing in state of the art Document Automation solutions for the IBM i – AS/400 arena since 1994. We at inFORM Decisions believe that the combination of POWER9 and IBM i provides a strong enterprise platform for organizations of all sizes that prefer a platform that takes care of business rather than the business having to take care of the system. Our experts can show you how to unleash your systems power and recoup countless hours of productivity! inFORM Decisions is committed to the IBM i platform forever!

So, you’re using an IBM i server…

Written by Ken Kramer. Posted in Blog

So, you’re using an IBM i server….

The IBM i

The IBM i users are loyal and outspoken group. And it’s no wonder. Occasionally, you discover a product that has you wondering if you’ve stepped into some kind of alternative universe. The very first product that gave me this impression was the ‘63 Corvette Stingray. Close second was the old AS400 from IBM. It was kind of like if you took an M1 Abrams tank and created a server with similar survivability. The stories of these things were legendary.

• One system was on the top floor of a building literally flattened by a tornado. After falling 4 stories, being buried by rubble and rained on, they only needed to dry it out to bring it back on line.
• Another system ran for a whopping 18 years without anyone patching, updating or even backing it up with no issues.
• Yet another was accidently walled up yet remained in service for years until someone tracing down the power and network wiring opened a wall to see what the wiring went to and found a shrouded AS400.

Who’s using the IBM i?

The IBM i software platform evolved out of this legendary AS400 and it is even more amazing. Whereas the AS400 was successful in manufacturing and distribution, the IBM i has moved into construction, banking and finance, health care, hospitality, and retail. Much of Las Vegas runs on the platform. It’s a software platform that scales from a small mom & pop shop up to a mission critical system for a multi-national companies. It’s virtually immune to the vast majority of malware, ransomware and Trojans. The IBM i is far more robust and vastly more resistant to outside or inside attack. It runs both on premise on IBM Power, ranging from IBM’s smallest to largest servers, and in the cloud, which, surprisingly isn’t how the small customers we’ve dealt with are running it; those firms are buying IBM Power9 servers, which also tend to be more robust and less vulnerable than their Intel based alternatives.

Leaving the platform?

The IBM i is the closest thing to a software platform superhero that I’ve yet seen and likely the safest and most powerful server platform available. Yet, as new generations enter the IT world, many have diverse backgrounds that lack specific knowledge of the ‘i’. Likely the best server platform they’ve never heard of. As the pool of RPG developers dwindles, many feel the pressure to leave this secure environment for Cloud based solutions.

Is the Cloud in your future?

In response, IBM has recently introduced new end-to-end solutions that better connect the IBM i to the cloud. One of the key growth areas for the platform is when it’s used by software providers to provide Software as a Service, or Cloud-based solution. Additionally IBM and its many partners are finding new ways to provide value to their clients by providing cloud services, whether it’s backup in a cloud or fully hosting customers. IBM is dedicated to making the combination of IBM i and Power Systems as good in that cloud environment as they have always been if you physically have the box on site.

The 'i' stands for integrated

As the platform continues to evolve, becoming increasingly robust, embracing modern technologies, and giving many of the world’s top organizations a competitive edge, so do IBM partners, like inFORM Decisions. They complete the platform by providing integrated software designed to function as a packaged whole. inFORM Decisions has software to digitize, manage and distribute spool and database files. From complex spool file bursting and distribution requirements, electronic document automation to workflow, we have the products that you might need, as well as the IBM i, iSeries, AS400, Power Systems experts to help with the installation and development.

inFORM Decisions has been a Document Automation provider specializing in state of the art Document Automation solutions for the IBM i – AS/400 arena since 1994. We believe that the IBM I / Power Systems will be relevant for a long time offering the stability and security that you’ve come to expect from IBM. inFORM Decisions experts can show you how to unleash your systems power and recoup countless hours of productivity! inFORM Decisions is committed to the IBM i platform forever!

Streamline Your AP Process

Written by Ken Kramer. Posted in Blog

Improve your AP Process

Nearly every business deals with Accounts Payable

Oftentimes, the processes in the AP department are heavily paper-intensive and time-consuming. In fact, for most businesses with manual processes, it takes roughly 16 days just to process one invoice. This ends up costing the organization in the form of labor, late fees, and printing and paper costs. An automated Accounts Payable solution can help an organization reduce those costs, keep more of their hard-earned profits and keep employees happy and productive.

Pain points our solution addresses

If anyone in your organization is saying any of the following, then you can benefit from our document capture solution:
• Manual AP processes are slowing down turnaround times and my AP department is
falling behind.
• Our invoices are rarely paid on time and we are almost never able to take advantage of prompt pay discounts.
• We need to be able to increase our processing but we can’t afford to hire more staff.
• Our manual processes are costing us too much in labor and human error.
• Our AP staff is frustrated with the process and they feel like they can’t ever catch up.

Quick stats about manual AP processing

• Average cost to manually process an invoice: $22.75
• Average time it takes to manually process an invoice: 16.3 days
• Percentage of companies with manual processes that can take advantage of prompt pay discounts: 16%
• Cost in labor to find a misfiled document: $120
• Cost to reproduce a lost document: $220

Quick stats about automated AP processing

• Average cost to process an invoice with automated process: $3.40
• Average time it takes to process an invoice with AP automation: 6.1 days
• Percentage of companies with automated processes that can take advantage of prompt pay discounts: 47%
• Automated AP processing greatly reduces or eliminates the issue of lost documents and errors

What can an organization gain from improving its accounts payable department?

• Increase the overall productivity of Accounts Payable staff by eliminating or greatly reducing manual data entry
• Reduce the amount of hours staff spends processing invoices
• Eliminate or greatly reduce the issue of lost invoices
• Trade in late payment penalties for early payment discounts
Example: If your company processes $10 Million worth of invoices and gets 2% net 10 from 80% of your vendors, and you are able to take advantage of the discount on all of them, you’d save $160,000 on your invoices.*
• Reduce the cost of processing an invoice and save significant money in the long-run
Example: The average cost to process an invoice manually is $22.75. If you manually process 1,000 invoices per month, or 12,000 per year, assuming your processing is the same as the average, invoice processing costs your business $273,000 annually. If you switch to automated invoice processing, the average cost to process the invoice is about $3.40, so the cost of processing the same amount of invoices for one year is $40,800. That’s an annual savings of $232,200.*
• Improve the audit process

Who should be thinking about document capture as a solution?

• YOU
• Also…CEO, CFO, CTO
• Accounts payable department manager
• Key accounts payable employees and supervisors

Important features of the capture solution

• OCR to convert scanned documents into meaningful text
• Classification to automatically separate invoices based on vendor >> Accelerated Classification Engine to automatically classify documents and extract data during the workflow without the need for configuration in advance
• Auto Zone Creation to allow the capture solution to auto-place smart zones
• Table Extraction to quickly extract line-item data
• Migration to iView on the IBM I and 60 other ECM systems and the ability to send data to just about any ERP

* These numbers are examples based on averages. Actual cost savings will vary.

IRS 1099-MISC vs. 1099-NEC

Written by Ken Kramer. Posted in Blog

What happened to Box 7 on the IRS 1099-MISC form?

2020 IRS tax form implications

In a move that will impact business owners and tax professionals across the nation, the IRS has released the 2020 Form 1099-NEC. The new form replaces Form 1099-MISC for reporting nonemployee compensation (in Box 7), shifting the role of the 1099-MISC for reporting all other types of compensation. As a result of the new 1099-NEC and redesigned 1099-MISC, the overall process for reporting nonemployee compensation is changing for the 2020 tax year.

The 2020 IRS form 1099-MISC has major changes

Nonemployee compensation (Box 7) has been removed from the Miscellaneous Form. If you typically file any 1099-MISC forms with Box 7 completed, you will need to file Form 1099-NEC for tax year 2020. You must also file Form 1099-MISC for anyone from whom you withheld federal income tax under the backup withholding rules, regardless of the amount for tax year ending 2020. Boxes 7 – 17 have been repurposed. Box 18 has been eliminated.

Introducing the new form required for tax year 2020, Form 1099-NEC

Data previously reported on Box 7 (Nonemployee compensation) of the 1099-MISC, the new 1099-NEC will capture any payments to nonemployee service providers, such as independent contractors, freelancers, vendors, consultants and other self-employed individuals (commonly referred to as 1099 workers) for tax year 2020. This will be required to be reported in Box 1 of Form 1099-NEC for tax year 2020.

Why is the 1099-NEC Replacing Form 1099-MISC (Box 7)?

The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (the PATH Act) — enacted on December 18, 2015 – created a unique situation for tax filers. In addition to moving the due date for Form 1099-MISC Forms containing data in Box 7; (nonemployee compensation), from February 28 to January 31, the legislation eliminated the automatic 30-day filing extension. If an employer filed a batch of multiple 1099-MISC forms (potentially with data in Box 7 (nonemployee compensation) and without) after the January 31st deadline, the IRS could mistakenly treat them all as late returns and apply fines.

Beyond the time-management and administrative issues for the IRS to properly process the forms, some misaligned deadlines on the taxpayer side opened the door to fraud. To resolve the various issues, the IRS revived Form 1099-NEC (originally established in 1982), effectively separating Box 7 (nonemployee compensation) from the 1099-MISC, as well as staggering the filing due dates.

What is your next move?

Contact your software provider to ensure compatibility and updates to support the new 1099-NEC form. Form 1099-NEC is not a replacement for Form 1099-MISC. Form 1099-NEC is only replacing the use of Form 1099-MISC for reporting independent contractor payments. According to the IRS, the people for whom an organization should use the new 1099-NEC are those with at least $600 in services performed by someone who is not an employee (including parts and materials) (Box 1). The IRS estimates that 70% of all 1099_MISC filings will require Form 1099-NEC. For tax year 2020, filing 1099-MISC to the IRS and various states is still mandatory for reporting other types of income. State reporting requirements vary by state. Approximately 20 states have indicated support for 1099-NEC. It is expected more states will require it. This translates to an estimated 70 million 1099-NEC filings for tax year 2020. To obtain instructions for Forms 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC (2020), consult the IRS website.

Positive Pay Can Prevent Check Fraud

Written by Ken Kramer. Posted in Blog

Positive pay is a simple but effective way to prevent check fraud

Check fraud is on the rise

In spite of the fact that overall paper check usage continues to decline each year, check fraud is on the rise due to today’s advanced technology that makes it easier than ever to create realistic counterfeit checks. Simple low-tech paper checks continue to lead as the payment type most susceptible to fraudulent attacks. Since they’re passed hand-to-hand on their way to payment, checks remain the most-often targeted payment method by those committing fraud attacks.

Check fraud also accounts for the largest dollar amount of financial loss due to fraud. Paper checks can easily be stolen, duplicated, altered, or cashed illegally. And the payer can be liable for the fraudulent checks as the liability for a bad check can quickly shift to the check issuer and away from the bank that accepts an altered deposit.

There are several situations where organizations can be prevented from seeking restitution from a bank that pays a fraudulent check, especially if the organization did not exercise “ordinary care” in issuing checks. This means an organization can’t count on a bank making them whole after accepting a fraudulent check. All of which calls for a better solution to catching fraudulent checks as they occur. One of the better ways to protect your organization from altered checks is to implement Positive Pay protection, which is available in several IBM i check printing software packages, including iChecks from inFORM Decisions.

Understanding Positive Pay

Positive pay is an automated cash-management service employed to deter check fraud. Most Commercial Banks use positive pay to match the checks a company issues with those it presents for payment. Any check considered suspect is sent back to the issuer for examination. The system acts as a form of insurance for a company against fraud, losses, and other liabilities. There is generally a charge incurred for using it, although some banks now offer the service for free. It protects against altered, forged, and counterfeit checks by verifying the accuracy of a check’s account number, date, and dollar amount when the check is presented for payment.

How it Works

Positive pay is a simple but effective way to prevent check fraud. It stops criminals from cashing fraudulent checks using stolen account numbers. It also catches bad checks where the check amount has been altered or the check has an invalid date.

• Bank customers send a check register file containing check numbers, dates, and amounts to their bank for checks the customer has written.
• When a check is presented for payment, the bank compares the presented check against the customer’s previously transmitted check information for that account.
• The service matches the check number, dollar amount, and account number of each check against a list provided by the company. In some cases the payee may also be included on the list.
• Where there’s a discrepancy between a presented check and check file information, the check will not be cleared. The bank notifies their customer through an exceptions report and withholds payment until the customer tells the bank to accept or reject the check.

Payee Positive Pay

Payee Positive Pay offers even a higher level of fraud protection than traditional Positive Pay. Traditional Positive Pay only includes comparing check numbers, dates, and amounts. It does not include payee verification, to insure the payee name has not been altered. Many banks provide Payee Positive Pay as an added feature to Positive Pay, and that may include additional fees. If you choose payee verification, make sure that your software and your bank both support it. iChecks from inFORM Decisions supports Payee Positive Pay

Transmission File

There are several different transmission methods and formats in which check data can be submitted to a bank. Not all banks use the same transmission format and transfer protocol. And some banks use different formats in different divisions. If your organization is planning Positive Pay, you may have to account for several different check file formats. If you’re implementing Positive Pay on an IBM i contact inFORM Decisions for a check writing package that enables you to produce the correct format for your bank. The file can then be submitted using a variety of transmission protocols such as FTP and sFTP.

Benefits

Although using Positive Pay requires a few extra steps, the advantages for your business are well worth the effort. Consider the many benefits, which include: Lower costs. By significantly reducing the potential for check fraud, Positive Pay can save you time, effort and real dollars.

When checks are printed with iChecks/Positive Pay Software, the process becomes simple. A file containing information such as check number, date, amount, and payee is automatically sent to your bank. When a check is presented at the bank for payment, the bank reviews the positive pay file to see if the check is valid. Funds are released only when the payment details match the exact items on the check file. Check fraud prevention is easy with inFORM Decisions.
