Modernizing document production inherited from AS/400 tools: a strategic challenge

Many companies use IBM environments such as the AS/400. These solutions, although very robust, are now showing their limitations in the face of changing business needs, particularly in terms of document production.

If your organization :

• Uses IBM AS/400 environments,
• Uses spool files to produce your documents,
• Works exclusively in batch mode, with no industrialization of document production at the workstation,
• Experiences difficulties (complexity, cost and time) in the administration and evolution of your document templates.

Then this page is for you!

Stable but inflexible tools for document production

Whether you're still using an AS/400-integrated document generator or have switched to an equivalent solution, the observation is often the same:

• Batch mode remains predominant, with no interaction possible at the workstation.
• Each business change (new version of a model, data change, regulatory adaptation, etc.) implies a real complexity in upgrading existing programs, generating delays and costs that are prohibitive for the business.
• IT resources are constantly being called upon to maintain or upgrade models.
• The lack of modern interfaces, integrated reporting or native traceability prevents a clear view of the document lifecycle.

The result: wasted time, an increased burden on IT teams, and a brake on business agility.

Osidoc: a new generation of document automation

Osidoc has been designed to meet these challenges and enable a smooth transition, even from complex or outdated existing systems.
