Migrating from IBM InfoPrint Designer: moving to advanced document communications with DocPath Boulder Suite

DocPath announces further enhanced DocPath Boulder Suite solution and successful recent IBM InfoPrint Designer migration for an important North American insurance company


Suwanee, November 5, 2020 – DocPath, leader in innovative document software solutions, announces further enhanced DocPath Boulder Suite solution and successful recent IBM InfoPrint Designer migration for an important North American insurance company. The DocPath Boulder Suite solution offers a user-friendly migration from an IBM's InfoPrint Designer tool to DocPath’s advanced customer communication management technology.

Companies that use InfoPrint Designer were able to benefit from a tool that facilitated the development of the AFP resources on an IBM i platform. However, user needs grew significantly and InfoPrint Designer was no longer up-to-date. Additionally, a few years ago, IBM announced that InfoPrint Designer will no longer be offering maintenance nor support services.

So DocPath decided to offer a document software solution that responds according the user’s needs concerning the InfoPrint Designer application developed by IBM. This flexible and powerful alternative adapts perfectly to current and future business needs.

IBM themself recommend the DocPath Boulder Suite document software as the best alternative to IBM's InfoPrint Designer on their developers guide, Migrating from IBM InfoPrint Designer applications, where they state “DocPath Boulder Suite provides an easy and seamless path for this conversion, enabling the use of an advanced and thoroughly modern customer communications platform going forward…”.

DocPath recently converted thousands of IBM InfoPrint Designer forms for a North American insurance company. The IBM's InfoPrint Designer migration was carried out easily thanks to the advanced tools provided by DocPath Boulder Suite which converted all forms seamlessly and without any interruptions. This insurance company can now design fully dynamic documents, organize or modify all their data or images, graphically define workflows, or incorporate dynamic three-dimensional graphics or barcodes.

DocPath solutions, including Boulder Suite, offer customer communications management document technology capabilities, not only to experts, but also to other business processes-oriented users. As result, this user-friendly solution makes it easy to create any type of document.

Remarkable advantages:

IBM InfoPrint Designer resources can now be converted into DocPath resources. In addition, the design of the forms can be vastly improved, thus offering all documents to be much more attractive aesthetically. Besides, DocPath Boulder Suite also offers the possibility to significantly expand printing and distribution capabilities.

Keep using only the best IBM i solutions:

DocPath Boulder Suite offers the opportunity to continue using IBM i platforms, either in a DocPath environment or using existing applications such as production machines that run fully on IBM i. When migrating from IBM’s InfoPrint Designer to DocPath’s Boulder Suite there is no need to change the user’s generation engine, which means that there is no need for the user to renounce a familiar IBM i environment and all the benefits it brings; much more user-friendly, higher security and more control.

DocPath offers more options to migrate from third-party products to its advanced Customer Communications Management solutions. One proof of this are the two recent successful Jetform / Adobe Central Server migration projects.

DocPath, a leading, multinational company specialized in the development of advanced document software and Customer Communications Management solutions, analyzes and solves the most important customer communication problems of large and medium-sized companies from two different perspectives, and with their own particular needs.


Large and complex networks

All companies, regardless of their size, need to properly manage communications with their customers, especially companies with large office networks encounter more problems and, therefore, their needs are much more complex.

DocPath’s, document software products and customizable Customer Communications Management platforms also allow a seamless integration into legacy systems that are almost impossible to replace. The solution also allows for controlling critical tasks, such as high-speed online transaction processing. In addition, its high availability meets the requirements for executing large numbers of processing requests, allowing it to cope with peak demands that could cause very serious system problems.

To satisfy all these needs, DocPath’s document software is designed to be fully scalable. The number of offices is no longer that relevant. DocPath uses advanced technologies such as 'containers' and 'kubernetes' to fully adapt to their customer’s needs. These innovative document technologies allow DocPath to offer complete connectivity, even with critical legacy business applications on large communications networks.

DocPath’s responsiveness is the result of extensive experience in supporting big and complex networks and all those years of working with prestigious companies and enterprises that have already overcome all of these challenges.


Large volume and complex business document production

Regardless of the office network size, the volume of document production and its complexity determine the new requirements that any company must satisfy.

If this document volume or its complexity is high, then it is essential to deal with document production in a flexible and streamlined way.

Another factor that is important as well, is the new paradigm of omnichannel document distribution, which is a serious challenge without an advanced design and processing application that allows high flexibility and extensive capacity to create and distribute these documents.

Dealing with complex requirements for all kind of communication types, scheduling production according to different parameters, such as time scheduling or the availability of resources is essential for the correct balance between production and costs.

Speed, when designing and generating documents, is very important as well, as a system that runs “eternally” when creating relatively simple documents is useless.

DocPath’s document software has a modular, high-speed and powerful system to design, generate and distribute business documents. This fact allows DocPath to offer full flexibility in the configuration of its customer’s document production environments.

This powerful design platform, with advanced graphic composition logic (without the need for programming), allows users of DocPath’s document software to easily design the most complicated business document.

Besides, DocPath’s document software solutions offer the ability to produce document outputs optimized for the chosen communication channel (paper, web, audio, video, etc.), and can use the most suitable channel or channels, depending on the needs in each occasion, without having to redesign the customer communications, thus offering greater flexibility and improving the companies service.

In conclusion, DocPath’s broad experience with large and complex projects allows them to offer a modern, agile, flexible, and completely modular document software solution, valid for both large & complex networks and large volumes of highly complex document creation and document output processes.

Its high integration capacity prevents large developments or complex application modifications and by generating omnichannel outputs the document software solution offers an unprecedented response capacity in communications with clients, the future of CCM (Custom Communication Management) is already part of the present in DocPath.
