A breakthrough in the AS/400 world
30 years ago a significant breakthrough was felt throughout the IBM AS/400 world
The birth of electronic documents emerged to address the growing need to efficiently manage paper.
inFORM Decisions was founded in July 1994 to provide simple AS/400 native utilities enabling Electronic Document Output applications, re-mapped forms and reports, MICR checks, faxing applications, bar code applications, document archive-retrieval, signature pad applications and more.
Green-bar form-feed spool file reports could now be formatted and printed on colorful beautifully designed forms with graphics and signatures. The company initially developed software to manage heavy workloads of output jobs like laser forms, laser checks and formatted reports on a daily basis. Focus was on providing significant savings to enterprises in the cost and management of pre-printed business forms, other documents and reports.
In the late Nineties, the emergence of Internet technologies meant consumers and business professionals could expect their business information to be delivered as easily as an email attachment. E-commerce stores, information portals, and automated fax delivery to an email address — these and other new modes of delivery demanded attention and are now part of inFORM’s product line. Converting documents into useful information that can be used to run your business more efficiently while eliminating the piles of paper!
A guiding principle at IFD is the building in of intelligence into all elements of the product line.
For example, IFD’s iView document management product is a remotely accessible, self-serve web portal for secure document archive-retrieval.
inFORM Decisions is committed to play a major role in delivering the promise of a paperless office by delivering solutions that reign in runaway forms and documents and get workflow under control. IFD was among the first application providers to be certified on IBM’s new family of expert integrated systems.
