Printing SystemsWhat is e-Output? 2002 IBM Corporation

Printing SystemsE-business is changing the face of businesscommunicationsTraditional information methodology has been "print anddistribute"Networks, Internet, and electronic documents aretransforming this methodologyElectronic documents mean:Tie to preprinted form is brokenFlexibility in contentFlexibility in deliveryNetworks and Internet drives e-business processreengineeringPrinting, if required, must take place later in the flowElectronic documents and reports can flow as the process requires 2002 IBM Corporation

Printing SystemsThe output of e-business - "E-output"Ability to create fully electronic pages of information anddeliver them to the desired destination in the desired format 2002 IBM Corporation

Printing SystemsWhy e-Output applications?e-business output is a very hot market spaceNearly every customer has an immediate need to deliver pageselectronicallyLarger customers have need to map current and legacy applicationoutput to multi-channel (print, fax, web, e-mail, wireless) deliveryCritical piece in providing an end-to-end e-business solutionManagement of output is another area where iSeries excelsover competitionAvoid your customer moving critical functions off the iSeries"mainframe" to Unix or Windows 2002 IBM Corporation

Printing SystemsApplication Examples 2002 IBM Corporation

Printing SystemsDesign your business outputScenario: Your current output statements, invoices, reports -- isinadequate.Requirement - You need to improve thecontent, appearance, and effectiveness ofyour communications and accomplish thisin a productive manner without disruption.Infoprint Designer for iSeries 2002 IBM Corporation

Printing SystemsPublish documents, reports to the WebScenario - Monthly reports are sent out todepartments in hardcopy. This results insignificant time delays and increasingcosts.Requirement - You would like to producethe reports in electronic format and enableimmediate, online access.Infoprint Server for iSeries 2002 IBM Corporation

Printing SystemsElectronic Report DistributionScenario - monthly sales reports areprinted, manually separated and mailed toregional office managers.Requirement - Customer would like toautomatically distributeand send the relevant reports to specificmanagers via e-mail.Infoprint Server for iSeries 2002 IBM Corporation

Printing SystemsDeliver customer documents via e-mailScenario - Order entry has beenre-engineered to the Web. However, theback end of the order process -- the orderconfirmation -- is still printed and mailed inhardcopy.Requirement - Customer would like toautomatically segment orderconfirmations, retrieve e-mail data, andsend immediately to customer.Advanced Requirement - need todefine/profile multi-channel delivery on acustomer/document basis.Infoprint Server for iSeries 2002 IBM Corporation

Printing SystemsConsolidate enterprise printingScenario: Customer has an ERPapplication which generates data in PCLformat. They also have numerous networkprint applications and proliferation ofdesktop personal printers.Requirement - They would like toconsolidate their printing, takingadvantage of the speed, power andthroughput of their high-speed iSeriessystem printer - plus the IPDS errorrecovery.Infoprint Server for iSeriesIBM iSeries printersPSF/400 2002 IBM Corporation

Printing SystemsIntranet electronic deliveryScenario - A company createsstandard business documents andreports that contain images, overlays,and typographic fonts. The documentsare then printed and distributed.Requirement - This company wants totake advantage of their intranet anddistribute the documents electronically.However, the documents areAFP-based and need to contain theexternal resources for viewing andprinting.Infoprint Server for iSeries 2002 IBM Corporation

Printing SystemsAd Hoc Report RequestScenario - Key customer has calledand would like a recap of their ordersfor the past month. That data existson a section of the monthly salesreport by customer.Requirement - Be able to select thatcustomers data and e-mail theinformation immediately.iSeries Access and Infoprint Server 2002 IBM Corporation

Printing SystemsSupply Chain EncodingScenario - Distribution company does significant volume ofshipments via UPS. It is critical that these shipments aredelivered quickly and correctly.Requirement - UPS has developed a new two-dimensionalbarcode - Maxicode - for encoding packages. This barcodeencodes all of the pertinent information associated with theshipment. Company would like to generate the barcode forall UPS packages.PDF417DatamatrixMaxicodeSolution: iSeries Support for 2D Bar-coding 2002 IBM Corporation

Printing SystemsIntegrate Web ImageScenario - A manufacturer has anengineering drawing application onWindows NT that creates drawings inJPEG format. The manufacturer wants tobe able to print the same drawing on awork order, but the work orderis a line of business (LOB)document produced by theiSeries.Solution: Infoprint Server image transforms 2002 IBM Corporation
