How it Works - Integrating Document Management and iSeries Applications

Integrating Document Management with Your iSeries ERP
Quadrant Software's Paperless Process Management (PPM) solutions provide you with a complete paperless system including the ability to:

• Capture paper documents and incoming faxes, transforming them into electronic format for faster processing, archival and make them available for retrieval

• Create electronic documents like purchase orders, invoices, statements, pick lists, bills of lading, and many more with the ease of simply using your mouse

• Manage through workflow the approval and review process and ensure orders are processed in a timely fashion, invoices are paid within terms, statements and acknowledgements are send promptly and management is alerted when action needs to be taken

• Archive the documents you captured via scanning paper files, after you captured incoming faxes, or the electronic forms you created to handle your ERP output

• Retrieve any document electronically directly from your iSeries application screen and find related files immediately without having to get up from your desk

• Distribute business documents from your line of business application screen, or in batch via fax, email, or post on the web

A key element of a successful PPM solution is the integration of the system with your current iSeries (AS/400) ERP or business application. Why change the way your users work? IntelliChief, FastFax, and Formtastic all leverage your existing IT infrastructure and work behind the scenes so that users don’t have to climb a steep learning curve and document management and distribution becomes part of their daily routines. In sum, they embrace paperless as an extension of their routine tasks, not as a replacement. Click here to learn more.

Integration with Key Business Processes
The focus on business processes and seamless integration with your core applications is what makes us unique. All the document management and electronic document distribution functions are found within your application screens. Users can send, receive, route, archive, and manage documents as faxes, emails, or print right from the desktop. Quadrant Software’s PPM solutions reformat the iSeries (AS/400) output and deliver it to multiple destinations including:

• Plain paper printers
• Local or remote fax machines
• Email inboxes

The User Sees...Nothing!
Even better, users aren't involved in data formatting or conversion for any delivery method. In fact, all back-end functions are invisible and users are insulated from the details of handling and reformatting documents. Meanwhile, the distribution process becomes easier, more efficient, and less prone to human error.
