inFORM's 'Collaborative Services Initiative' delivers iSeries functionality to Questys Solutions, a popular Windows document management vendor, and others who want a hybrid forms automation solution.

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA., August 06, 2005- Innovative forms automation vendor inFORM Decisions (www.informdecisions.com) today announced the completion of an iSeries file serving module for a Windows-based document management system marketed by Questys Solutions (www.questys.com.) Questys Solutions headquartered in Mission Viejo, California, markets industry tailored document imaging, storage, and retrieval systems.

The module developed by inFORM's new Collaborative Services Initiative, has enabled Questys Solutions to adapt the Questys Pro Document Imaging solution to the needs of their top tier iSeries (AS/400) clientele and key business partners.

inFORM's iSeries module is integrated into Questys Solutions software with a set of standard API's and is accessed through Questys commands. Users who are logged on to any network connected PC can access the documents stored on the iSeries machine. iSeries users can also access these documents. inFORM's module adds single command report routing capabilities for printers connected to heterogeneous systems, report moving capabilities between LPARs, Internet distribution, facilitates print sharing capabilities, and automatically routes reports to a remote system based in control table routing instructions. Report formats supported include IPDS, AFP, PCL, and character-based.

The advantages of using the iSeries to archive documents include its vast disk capacity that frees up disk space on multiple, smaller, and decentralized Windows based systems, its granular security, and its ability to handle multiple simultaneous workloads.

The Collaborative Services Group
inFORM Decisions launched its Collaborative Services Group in April of 2005, to offer flexible and integrated document management functionality to vendor and end user companies who needed expertise in iSeries document management software development. It includes sharing technical expertise, software, marketing, and other resources to attain collective objectives. According to Dan Forster, inFORM's president, "There are tremendous growth opportunities for vendors who can cross operating boundaries and provide forms management solutions that use the best platform for a given task. The Collaborative Services Group is a business construct that formalizes the process of assessing business and technical requirements, and quickly and cost effectively developing custom modules or complete solutions to fit their needs."
