“The cost savings were amazing.” After three years using SpoolFlex to convert Jack Henry reports to PDF, our bank has saved $18,000 in green bar paper alone.
Overview: Three years of substantial savings
It’s been three years since Cathy Mitchell, Assistant Vice President and Deposit Operations Manager at the First Bank of Carmi, installed SpoolFlex for IBM System i (i5, iSeries, AS/400). After a short week of configuring SpoolFlex, report management software from DRV Technologies, to print the bank’s 60-70 reports to PDF and email them to bank officers, First Bank immediately recouped 40 man-hours per month. Previously, two bank employees had spent this time bursting, sorting, and distributing Jack Henry & Associates reports from their IBM iSeries. Mitchell said, “Now their time can be used more productively.”
But that’s not all. By eliminating the expense of printing the bulk of the bank’s reports on green bar paper, the bank has realized a yearly cost savings of at least $6,000.
