Pacific Seafood saves thousands by moving to an electronic document-distribution system
Overview
I’ve been covering IBM i since it was known as the AS/400 platform. And the one thing that continues to come up when customers tell me about the system is its simplicity. The same holds for much of the software that runs with IBM i, including software from third-party vendors. As Pacific Seafood Group recently discovered, a robust application doesn’t have to be complex and hard to understand to be effective. To the contrary, it simply has to work.
Such is the case with DRV Technologies’ SpoolFlex, which Pacific Seafood uses to electronically disseminate business documents to internal and external customers. Thanks to this product’s ease of use, the company saves thousands of dollars a year in paper, labor and printer supplies, says Dave Pracz, System i administrator with Pacific Seafood.
