“Stored documents can be presented in PDF format, which is very easy to read and which can be transmitted instantly as email attachments if a vendor or customer needs to see a document. EZContentManager has excellent provisions for security, which is very important considering it’s used for storing and protecting sensitive corporate information.”

“EZContentManager’s user interface is very friendly, and this will influence more (of our) people to use it,” Vilches said.

IMPLEMENTATION
Wabash Technologies employs a Model 720 computer running SSA’s BPCS software under OS/400 Version 5.2. The consolidation involves moving the System i-resident record retention program from the System i platform to EZContentManager and at the same time, replacing an existing content management system with the ACOM solution. Both the System i server and the EZContentManager server exist as nodes on the company’s network.

SUCCESS
Wabash expects significant savings to result from:

• faster and more efficient retrieval
• the use of the electronically filed documents
• the ability to convert most of the document printing and associated tasks to electronic delivery.

“The previous system tended to search everything associated with a particular number, and since we have many systems, the number could be associated with many documents.”

“We will now be able to find documents much faster, because EZContentManager’s multiple-search-indexing capability allows us to set-up individual search parameters,” he said.
