In addition to increasing the quality of its data and processes, the FSP expects children to get better lunches, too. READ MORE >

ICS Bolsters FormSprint with Topaz Signature Capture
by Alex Woodie

Collecting signatures has long been a thorn in the sides of IT managers struggling to reduce paper use. While forms software has digitized pre-printed forms, and electronic fax and e-mail add-ons distribute those forms over phone lines, getting that good old John Hancock has remained a barrier to eliminating paper entirely.

Automated Report Distribution
Delivering what you want, when you want it.

"Timely financial reporting is crucial to a manager… IBM's iSeries runs the reports on the JDE Financial Application, but had no efficient way of electronically distributing individual reports to individual people. The RJS products solved that problem by splitting report spool files and emailing each person the needed report."

Correction

The article "iSeries Software Vendors Looking to Open Source Advantage" has been corrected since it was first published. Ryan Saunders is the director of business development and marketing for Interchange Solutions, not Touchtone, as originally stated. Interchange Solutions produces a product called Maximizer Enterprise for Notes, which is in the process of gaining portal technology as a result of the company's involvement with IBM's ISV Advantage initiative. Guild Companies regrets the errors. [Correction made 2/10/04.]
