Since the introduction of IBM's Infoprint Server, Liberty & Associates has worked closely with IBM's
printing division and has become a leader in automated document management solutions on the iSeries.
The Liberty PDF Web Archive Module runs natively on the iSeries and allows iSeries reports to be converted
into PDF form and then stored in a manner that facilitates retrieval.

For ad hoc reports, the user can redirect their output to a virtual output queue and then retrieve the report instantaneously from the iSeries web site designed for this purpose.

List of all reports for a specific user
|
|
For standard reports, such as sales invoices, the same is true. But in addition, important attributes such as customer number, customer PO number, waybill number, etc, are retrieved from the spool file and retained to allow easy retrieval of the documents in the future

Consider the benefits that the Liberty PDF Web Archive Module provides when used for archiving sales invoices, for example:
|
|
The sales invoices are retained in their original format. In contrast to many invoice reprint programs, changes in the customer master or tax rates will not have an impact if you need to retrieve a copy of the document.
|
|
Customer service representatives obtain a single powerful tool which can assist them to find one or more invoices for a given customer based on a variety of criteria (customer PO number, waybill number, etc). This same tool allows them to email the invoices to the customer with the click of a mouse.
|
|
All advanced printing functions such as logos are retained.
|
|
Significant savings in manpower and physical storage space with the elimination of hard copies.
|
|
The ability to link into the PDF documents from existing customized applications.
|
Other benefits and features.
|
|
Can be installed and integrated within existing iSeries ERP applications within a day.
|
|
In addition to sales invoices, the module is frequently used to eliminate hard copies of accounting journals, purchase orders, and day end and month end reports.
|
|
PDF documents are accessible from remote offices, home offices, etc, whereas hard copies are not.
|
|
Access control based on document type (ie John can see sales invoices, Susan can see purchase orders).
|
|
Available in both English and French.
