iView performs content management functions to enable the capture, storage, indexing and retrieval of spool files, merged documents and scanned forms so they are accessible via a web browser by anyone, anywhere, anytime. Operating natively on the IBMi (AS400, iSeries, Power Systems) iView increases security and speed over downloading to a PC or Secondary server.
There are countless reasons to choose the iView browser base archive retrieval module, but let’s first concentrate on the top three reasons. Elimination of these tasks results in reduced labor, and provides real cost savings and security.
1. Automate repetitive task of collecting document information.
Eliminate the need to manually sort and group documents for distribution, and filing.
iView will automatically ingest documents into archive repositories directly from the IBMi and from outside sources via inFORM’s document capture module. Documents will become immediately available for use.
Eliminate the need to key in information into database files for use in your ERP and Accounting Systems.
iView and iCapture solutions will collect indexed values into configured archive files which can be used to populate ERP and Accounting System databases thus eliminating the need to manually enter information multiple times.
2. Reduce and Eliminate the need to handle paper documents
Eliminate the need to manually file documents and bypass costly human errors such as misfiling and loosing documents.
Automatically file incoming documents into archive directories, the equivalent to electronic file cabinets, while iView and iCapture solutions automatically extract index values to use as searchable values to retrieve documents quickly and efficiently at a time when the user needs it.
Eliminate the costly reoccurring exercise of finding documents in file cabinets or worst yet tracking down misplaced or lost documents.
The iView Document Center makes it easy for users to retrieved documents from their desktop without the need of getting up and fingering through file folders in a sea of file cabinets. Since iView does the initial filing and uses metadata index fields, documents don’t get mislabeled, misplaced, or mishandled thus making it easier for users to find what they need in a quick and easy process with a easy to use dashboard. .
3. Backup stored documents electronically in preparation of a catastrophic event like fire or storms
Eliminate the vulnerability of not having a back up of your stored documents that now reside in your file cabinets.
Backup electronically stored documents and simultaneously store multiple backup copies in different remote locations including the cloud for safe keeping.
Eliminate the very real thread of a destructive fire, floods, hurricanes or storms destroying documents and preventing local access to your documents and further damaging your business’s continuity.
Continue to operate your business from backed up files and remote backup systems while local office operations recover and resume normal operations. iView is a cost-effective solution, enabling authorized clients to view their own documents online.
As iView leverages much of its technology for inFORM Decisions’ renowned electronic form software, a less expensive archive-retrial solution is achieved. Compare iView to other available COLD solutions on the market and see for yourself.

Congratulations to the IBM i and IBM Power Systems on your 30th Anniversary. (June 1988 – June 2018)
30 years ago IBM, with it AS/400, taught the market about the value that an integrated data base and software could deliver. Way ahead of its time, IBM designed OS/400 (and its descendants i5/OS and IBM i) as a “turnkey” operating system, requiring little or no on-site attention from an IT staff during normal operation. To facilitate this, IBM i has a built-in DB2 database which does not require separate installation. Disks provide multiply-redundant storage and can be replaced online without interruption. Hardware and software maintenance tasks are integrated. System administration has been wizard-driven for years, even before that term was defined. This automatic self-care policy goes so far as to automatically schedule all common system maintenance, detect many failures and even order spare parts and service automatically. Organizations using the IBM Power Systems sometimes have sticker shock when confronting the cost of system maintenance on other systems.
The early IBM System/36 and IBM System/38 series customers were a key target of the AS/400, so OS/400 (i5/OS and IBM i), have built-in subsystems that provide backward compatibility with these earlier IBM general business systems. For this reason, long time users, of which there are many, still refer to the platform as the AS/400. The current user base remains strong and committed and various user groups have played a major part in the evolution of the IBM i. Make no mistake, Power Systems and the IBM i are far from their 30 year old roots and green screens. They have been transformed. Built to crush the most advanced data applications, from the mission-critical workloads run today to the next generation of Artificial Intelligence.
This platform remains relevant for modern businesses today and in the foreseeable future. The Power Systems server and IBM i can accommodate emerging technologies such as mobile access and cloud computing. It can also run and interact with cognitive applications on other platforms. IBM Power Systems are ranked No. 1 in every major reliability category by ITIC and deliver the most reliable on-premises infrastructure to meet around-the-clock customer demands.
The true source of this platforms’ staying power through numerous generations of business computing comes from a wide-ranging group of talented business partners and their commitment to providing essential tools for modern computing. Importantly for Power Systems and IBM i users, partners such as inFORM Decisions have been around to provide innovative business solutions. Since 1994, inFORM Decisions has been a Document Automation provider specializing in state of the art Document Automation solutions for the IBM i – iSeries – AS/400 arena. inFORM’s biggest strength is that their solutions have always run natively on the IBM i and they continue to develop and enhance for this platform. inFORM customers appreciate this commitment and new customers are acquired every month who for various reasons are being forced to a much less efficient and less stable PC based solution.
This platform can do anything and after 30 years of innovation is just beginning. Just ask the users! inFORM Decisions is committed to the IBM i Power Systems platform forever!
In spite of many technological advances such as the internet, scanners, e-books and digital cameras, paper documents still play an indispensable role in the modern office. It has been predicted that by 2020 the global paper consumption will reach 500 million tons per year. A half of this volume is consumed in Europe and North America alone. Some paper statistics that provide a deeper insight into this problem:
The average office worker continues to use a staggering 10,000 sheets of copy paper every year.
In the U.S., companies spend more than $120 billion a year on printed forms, most of which out-date themselves within three months’ time.
A typical employee spends 30-40% of his time looking for information locked in email and filing cabinets – filing costs average about $20 per month.
Each misfiled document costs $125. Each lost document cost $350 to $700 – large organizations lose a document every 12 seconds.
While the technology for going paperless is readily available, the rate of adoption for these tools and this system is quite low. Software plays an important role in a paperless office. Software programs manage the huge quantity of digital files that an office can produce during the transition to paperless. Some of the different types of document management tools available from inFORM Decisions that can be utilized to eliminate paper processes are as follows:
Spool files to Digital forms
System i and Power Systems NATIVE PCL to PDF converter for Spool Files. iPDF converts standard HP Laserjet output (Printer Control Language) into the popular Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format). IBM native conversion eliminates the need to download to a PC (or secondary server) to process PDF files, thus improving security and speed of PDF document conversion. Much more than a simple conversion tool, iPDF enables report distribution, PDF document archival and retrieval, bursting, sorting and outputting PDF reports and custom business forms in the open PDF standard where they can be easily viewed using the free Acrobat Reader.
E-mail
Email has had the biggest impact, allowing communications to become electronic with the ability to attach digital documents. Our iMail product is an example. This is very suitable for lmost business correspondence with the ability to format spool file reports into popular formats like Excel, color PDF, HTML, ZIP, RTF and more. iMail provides much more than simple email delivery. From your AS/400, iSeries, IBM i, and Power Server, you can send messages, business documents and spool file reports in easily readable formats. iMail enables organizations to upgrade to a paperless environment, saving time and money due to more efficient document management and distribution.
Workflow
Sharing business documents such as sales or supplier contracts that require controlled access on an ad-hoc basis can be accomplished by use of versatile tools like iWorkflow which provides the ability to take any business process, and create a digital copy. A digital workflow allows you to streamline business processes and route documents throughout the organization. Managers now have a looking glass into any process, and readily accessible reporting and metrics. Workflow business apps help you streamline your business processes — expense claims, customer onboarding, travel requests or any other organizational business workflow. Using workflow, data, forms and report are connected to the authorized parties providing efficiency and productivity.
Document Capture and Scanning
Scanners are one of the most essential tools for a paperless office. They can convert paper documents into digital files, which are then ready for mass distribution over an email system rather than through paper memos. Large-format scanners can convert blueprints, contracts and other large documents into digital files. In addition, high-speed scanners can quickly scan multi-page documents, or even books, eliminating the need to store the paper copies.
With an array of scanning devices, capture needs and back-end content management systems, it is ineffective to settle for multiple applications to accomplish one goal. iCapture provides a single capture platform that can meet all the needs of an organization: document scanning and import, forms processing, data capture, OCR/ICR, data extraction and the ability to migrate the information into a back-end. The iCapture advanced capture system enhances the capabilities of any scanning device, providing a powerful on-ramp to any Enterprise Content Management (ECM) or Document Management Systems (DMS).
Mobile Signature Capture
With iSign documents are efficiently captured, stored, secured and backed up with peace of mind that they can’t be damaged by flood, fire or accessed by unauthorized users. Documents can be easily retrieved or routed through a web browser, from any location at any time.
Document Storage & Retrieval iView is the Web-based Content Management Solution for the iSeries, System i and Power Systems native document archive – retrieval solution performing content management functions to enable the capture, storage, indexing and retrieval of spool files, merged documents and scanned forms so they are accessible via a web browser by anyone, anywhere, anytime. iCapture extends iView’s capture, indexing and storage capabilities to hard copy documents for a complete browser-accessible repository.

The IBM i (iSeries, i5, AS400, Power Systems) platform has been delivering valuable new business capabilities for many, many years. As new generations enter the IT world, many have diverse backgrounds that lack specific knowledge of the ‘i’. New managers inherit legacy systems that they don’t always understand and may question the future of the IBM i.
IBM has made it easier than ever to develop solutions on IBM i by making the most popular native language (RPG) capable of using some of the newest technologies (services, XML, etc.), They have also added new languages and improved the strategic development tools both in function as well as in platforms supported.
The IBM i development team is currently working on the releases after 7.3 and will be delivering many new capabilities to the platform in the next several years. IBM has always listened to their solution vendors and will empower the technologies they see as important to them and their future. IBM is committed to investing in the programming languages, environments and tools which will be needed to build the solutions.
In the past several years, one of the key technologies we’ve needed to enable is mobile devices. There are now tools that make it easy to transform your 5250 green screens into stunning RPG, PHP and mobile applications by using your existing development skills and IBM i assets. We are seeing software vendors offering frameworks that make it easier for developers to create native applications specifically built so RPG apps can be extended to run natively on the iPad, and other mobile devices. These frameworks are not unique to RPG and exist for other programming languages as well.
IBM i clients predominantly use their systems on site, but in line with evolving technology trends, many are considering cloud options for their everyday business applications. 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 some of 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 own the box on site.
Simplified security and availability have been the hallmarks of this platform from the day it was created, and IBM is continually working to ensure they remain strengths making it one of the most reliable, secure and trusted platforms in the industry.
In association with committed software partners such as inFORM Decisions, which has been a Document Automation provider specializing in state of the art Document Automation solutions for the IBM i – iSeries – AS/400 arena since 1994, we believe it is clear that the IBM i systems will be relevant for a long time offering the stability and security that you’ve come to expect from IBM i. inFORM Decisions is committed to the IBM i iSeries AS/400 platform forever!
Call (800) 858-5544 / (949) 709-5838 or visit us at www.informdecisions.com for more information about our acclaimed iDocs suite of IBM i products.
The iSeries/AS400 contains an integrated file system (IFS). This means applications written on other file systems, PC, Unix, etc., can access data stored on the AS/400. The IFS integrates all file systems on the AS/400 with one interface and one set of rules. How the AS/400 developers accomplished this was to use a single root, like a PC file system, and put all other file systems under it. From a Windows client the AS/400 would appear as a network drive. Under that drive you would have PC-like subdirectories for all the file systems the AS/400 supports. Currently there is support for PC file systems, Unix file systems, OS/400 libraries, and others. The IFS provides access to the data. The data must be in compatible format for the requesting application. The IFS includes Spool files.
The inFORM Decisions iDocs product interfaces with both the Spool Files and the DB2 database and can create custom reports and spread sheets from this stored data.
Generate forms, reports, and checks natively on the IBMi
Upload document designs and mapping instructions to our iDocs software on the IBMi and immediately utilize our iDocs Engine or use our API commands to start generating your forms, reports, and checks.
Distribute generated documents, reports, and files natively from the IBMi
Automatically deliver documents and reports in a variety of different formats including .PDF, .XML, .TXT, .TIF, and .XLS via email, fax, FTP, SFTP, FTPS, as wells as into local and remote directory. Additionally delivery Positive Pay reports to banks, and more.
Capture documents and data to convert into useful electronic versions
Import files from scanned documents, email attachments/email body, shared folders, or directly from originating systems. Identify different incoming documents, extract useful data from imported documents, run database look ups, validate collected data, and export to a repository and accounting/ERP systems.
Automate and manage the flow and circulation of documents, forms, and files.
Controlling how the flow and circulation of documents moves in, out, and around of an organization is a critically important to the efficiency of an organization. Automatically route files based on triggers and conditions to help improve the speed of the flow of information.
iCapture provides all the required features for any scanning or document capture project. OCR, copier integration, and automated extraction can help you convert your paper to digital format.
The K2 no-code Business Applications Platform provides workflow, forms, reports and data integration capabilities to any organiztion. It is an essential piece to any digital transformation strategy. With K2 blackpearl you can provide workflow in SharePoint, mobile forms and powerfulw reporting dashboards in a snap.
iDocs monitors Output Queues for spool files , database files or XML data to process and route based on user-defined business rules on the IBM iSeries.
Barcodes are pervasive in our world. From daily documents to the QR code we scanned with our phone, businesses are using barcodes on everything. Besides being printed on documents for tracking and embedding information, with labels, they can be placed on just about anything. Barcodes can be leveraged for all types of business purposes.
A valuable and viable choice for businesses looking to improve efficiency and reduce overhead, barcodes are both cost-effective and reliable. Barcode technology is constantly improving, and companies are looking to embed more and more data within the symbol.
iBar now offers IBM i native users the ability to scale barcodes, and to output to industry standard HP PCL cut sheet and continuous form label printers iBar is now capable of producing industries’ most popular bar code symboligies, including QR, IMb, 3of9, EAN, Datamatrix and more.
For current, iBar and iDocs users, its important to note that you will no longer be confined to working with fixed pitch HP fonts. You can now size the font to accommodate your print requirements, as now the user simply selects a barcode symbology, and enters the size they need. In addition, barcodes can be embedded into *SCS spool files or integrated with API commands.
Benefits and Features of iBar:
Create “intelligent” spool files with embedded barcodes
Embed barcodes for print or digital file creation (PDF)
In iDocs, how do I use different logos and signatures?
iDocs allows the user to configure an iSeries form or check application to conditionally print a logo based on a trigger value. You can for example, configure a form or check application to use a company number to print a corresponding logo to that number. This can be true with any trigger data and any image whether it be signatures, logos, pictures or even a completely different form overlay.
Can we use form designs we already have from another forms design software?
Yes. iDocs allows the user to export their iSeries forms from MS Word, Excel, Adobe, PDF’s etc. into iMap to take over data mapping and other form definitions.
Can I setup reports or form to email (distribute) to multiple emails or targets ?
iDocs with its Smart Routing functionality allows the user to route iSeries forms and reports to dynamic targets, such as, email addresses, fax numbers, printer output queues, or stored drives in PDF format. You can use AS400 PDF functionality to provide a paperless stream to any document management system.
Can I print to a color printer natively from my IBM iSeries AS/400 ?
Yes. iDocs supports printing to color PCL printers natively from the IBM iSeries. Forms can be printed in PCL or PDF NATIVELY with high quality and high speed, and no need to download to a PC server.
Can I print labels with or without barcodes ?
Yes on both. You can print labels to PCL capable printers and there are many to choose from. inFORM supports hundreds of barcode symbols.
Do I need a modem or PC Server to fax documents?
No. With iFax the software uses the internal IBM i modem.
How much is does your product cost?
This question really requires a conversation with our sales rep. There are various requirements and multiple modules and ways our product can be configured and sold. Our pricing is modular and competitive by design which allows us to package just the solution you needed without being forced to purchase a bundle of items that you don’t need.
Does your product support IPDS or AFPDS ?
No. On the IBM iSeries AS/400, we support PCL output which is really what 90% of the marketplace uses (HP compatible). It is usually a relatively simple switch to output SCS spool file output which can be converted to PCL. IPDS code is complex and expensive and proprietary to the IBM i, and PCL is a more broadly accepted printer datastream with more flexibility.
Does your product run natively on the IBM i – iSeries – AS/400 ?
Yes, iDocs and associated suite of software all run on the IBM iSeries natively. Some modules require Windows for the graphic requirements – like iSeries forms and image design – but once designed, the objects can upload to the iSeries for native integration
What software is required for your IBM i native forms archive and retrieval module iView?
The community edition of the Zend Server. You can download free from zend.com.
Can I save a PDF to the IBM IFS or to a networked Microsoft Server?
Yes. This requires the iPDF Monitor or iCapture modules. AS400 PDF provides all the value of having digital documents.
Will the iDocs forms merge engine start automatically?
Yes. Simple set this operation up through the job scheduler or the system startup program.
Can iView be an export target for iCapture and what does this require?
Yes. It requires ODBC connection software, which is part of IBM Access for i.
