Halcyon Announces Document Management System v3.0 for IBM i

PETERBOROUGH, England, May 7, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Ensures Reliable Archiving, Rapid Retrieval, Packaging and Distribution of Business
Information, Documents and Reports Held in Spooled Files on the IBM i System

    Systems management software provider, Halcyon Software [http://halcyonsoftware.com ],
today announced a new product - Document Management System v 3.0 for the IBM i platform.

    Document Management System v 3.0 is a comprehensive software package which ensures
reliable archiving, rapid retrieval, packaging and distribution of business information,
documents and reports held in spooled files on the IBM i system.

    Businesses can benefit by significantly reducing costs for what is traditionally a
labour intensive activity for managing, finding, re-packaging and distributing the
relevant information to users within the organisation to allow them to do their jobs
effectively. Cost efficiencies are also gained in the rapid retrieval and delivery of
information in the right format to external contacts including customers and suppliers.

    Key features include indexing of all archived files for rapid retrieval, an easy to
use web user interface requiring no specialist IBM i skills, a "sticky note" that marks
important information about a particular file that can be instantly viewed by assigned
users, and an overlay designer to customise reports and create print overlays for
invoices, orders, dispatch notes, etc. The solution also has a segmenting and bundling
feature that enables subsets of large reports to be created and distributed to pre-defined
recipient lists.

    The software performs actions on spooled files without the need for program changes
such as automatically emailing the summary page of a report or converting them into PDFs
or HTML web pages.

    John Dominic, Vice President of Sales, said, "Halcyon has made a significant
investment in the Document Management System software. We have engaged with IBM i sites to
create a business solution which offers automatic archiving, indexing and superfast
retrieval of important information. The new web-based interface modernises and simplifies
a traditionally labour intensive activity and saves significant cost."

    Document Management System v3.0 is available immediately. Product pricing is tiered
and based on IBM processor groups. Halcyon operate a fair pricing policy so that if
customers increase the Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) rating of their IBM hardware
they will not incur software upgrade fees giving long term reassurance on costs.
