  • Brooks Serves Print Streams to DocuWare ECM

    October 2, 2012 Alex Woodie

    Brooks Internet Software and DocuWare unveiled a partnership last week that will enable Brooks’ print driver software to serve output from hosts like IBM i, Unix, and mainframe servers into DocuWare’s enterprise content management (ECM) system.

    The Brooks-DocuWare partnership involves Brooks Remote Print Manager (RPM), a Line Printer Daemon (LPD) print server that provides more flexibility in the management and handling of the print output of IBM i, mainframe, HP3000, OpenVMS, Unix, and Linux servers. The Windows-based software is commonly used to convert print output from IBM formats, like SCS or AFPDS, to more standard formats like PCL and PDF, and can also distribute output to e-mail and archives.

    As part of the partnership, the companies have ensured that RPM works with DocuWare, a Windows-based ECM offering used by thousands of companies around the world. DocuWare, which is based in New Windsor, New York, provides a full range of content management capabilities with its software, including document capture, indexing, storage, search, retrieval, workflow, archive, and mobile access.

    DocuWare could already capture documents from many different types of sources, including OCR scanners, email, databases, COLD storage, and others. Now that DocuWare is hooked up with Idaho Falls, Idaho-based Brooks, customers have another source for importing documents into their ECM systems, which may be particularly attractive for non-standard (i.e., non-Windows) systems like IBM i, Unix, and mainframe.

    In addition to inputting these documents, the RPM software can make modifications, such as by generating a unique banner page for each print job with the user, title and timestamp, and then converting the job to PDF, says Brooks President Dave Brooks.

    Get More Out of Your IBM i

    With soaring costs, operational data is more critical than ever. IBM shops need faster, easier ways to distribute IBM applications-based data to users more efficiently, no matter where they are.

    The Problem:

    For Users, IBM Data Can Be Difficult to Get To

    IBM Applications generate reports as spooled files, originally designed to be printed. Often those reports are packed together with so much data it makes them difficult to read. Add to that hardcopy is a pain to distribute. User-friendly formats like Excel and PDF are better, offering sorting, searching, and easy portability but getting IBM reports into these formats can be tricky without the right tools.

    The Solution:

    IBM i Reports can easily be converted to easy to read and share formats like Excel and PDF and Delivered by Email

    Converting IBM i, iSeries, and AS400 reports into Excel and PDF is now a lot easier with SpoolFlex software by DRV Tech.  If you or your users are still doing this manually, think how much time is wasted dragging and reformatting to make a report readable. How much time would be saved if they were automatically formatted correctly and delivered to one or multiple recipients.

    SpoolFlex converts spooled files to Excel and PDF, automatically emailing them, and saving copies to network shared folders. SpoolFlex converts complex reports to Excel, removing unwanted headers, splitting large reports out for individual recipients, and delivering to users whether they are at the office or working from home.

    Watch our 2-minute video and see DRV’s powerful SpoolFlex software can solve your file conversion challenges.
