IntelliChief Paperless Process Management (PPM) Now Available to the iSeries Community

ORLANDO, FL (November 2005) -- Quadrant Software released its new enterprise document lifecycle management suite, IntelliChief, on November 9, 2005. The company had announced the new product in September at Fall COMMON in Orlando, FL, the user community conference for iSeries 400 professionals.

IntelliChief intelligently creates, manages, routes, archives, retrieves, and delivers inbound/outbound business documents for the iSeries 400 and Windows enterprise. This process combines numerous disparate document management technologies into one enterprise-wide strategy for managing critical and transactional business information, which is collectively referred to as Paperless Process Management (PPM).

This new product suite consists of ScanChief, WorkflowChief, StorageChief, ViewChief and PortalChief, and comes at a time when regulatory compliance (Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, etc.) remains critical, mandatory, time consuming, and expensive. IntelliChief will provide businesses with an affordable strategy for easing compliance issues while streamlining workflow and saving significant time and money. 

Using a highly scaleable architecture, Quadrant Software's new product suite will help medium-to-large companies eliminate paper within their organizations and replace it with secure, reliable electronic documents centrally managed throughout their life cycle.

Individual components of the IntelliChief suite are priced from $4,995 with fully configured systems expected to average $50,000 per installation including software, scanning hardware as well as professional services for installation, implementation, and training.

What is Paperless Process Management?

PPM refers to solutions that enable a truly paperless organization. It combines technologies like Electronic Document Management, Electronic Content Management, Workflow, Business Process Management, and Intelligent Lifecycle Management into one integrated solution.

PPM electronically manages documents that are generated from within an organization or received from external sources.

Once centrally stored and indexed, the documents are routed for processing and delivery, archived, and ultimately destroyed based on business rules and policies established by the organization.
