Why Modernise your IBM i Forms Solution?

If you are considering an IBM i modernisation initiative, you will likely have a number of systems that all need to be brought up-to-date.

So where should you start?

Starting with a project that is fast and easy to implement means that your modernisation journey begins with a quick ROI generation. And showing a demonstrable ROI to senior colleagues will bring more support on board, to continue modernising your legacy IBM i systems and processes

Replacing your IBM i forms solution with a modern, electronic forms solution is an easy way to make IT departments more efficient, and improve customer service levels.

At the same time as these business aspects are improving, an electronic forms solution will also cut the spend associated with traditional forms – from printing to postage

Formtastic is an IBM i modernisation tool from Quadrant Software, part of Fresche Solutions. Formtastic allows you to automatically create professional-looking, branded forms, documents and reports.

Here are the top 5 reasons to modernise your IBM i forms solution with Formtastic:

4. Increase brand equity: By providing simple, branded documents that are easy-to-use and professional-looking you are building a positive perception of your company in the eye of your customers
