JBM Systems Announces OctoTools(TM), a Multi-Function Software Solution Addressing the Needs of Today's Changing Electronic Archiving, Distribution, And Print Output Formats

Posted on: Friday, 19 March 2004, 06:00 CST

BOSTON, March 19 /PRNewswire/ -- JBM Systems ( http://www.jbmsystems.com/ ) today announced the launch of OctoTools(TM) a many-armed software solution that offers forms design with automated e-distribution, PCL/PostScript printer output, PDF conversion, and email in an integrated low-cost package.

Along with legacy output support, OctoTools(TM) is aimed specifically at automating: forms design, electronic distribution, report bursting (drill down), legacy enhancement, and output document management.

Coupling a front-end Graphical Users Interface (GUI) with an easy-to-use forms designer, as well as a powerful PDF and print runtime engine, this new software from JBM Systems will allow users to complete the following functions:

* Eliminate pre-printed and multi-part forms

* Automate batch processing and distribution of forms and reports

* Reduce printing costs, paper supplies, and associated overhead

* Make data universally available electronically through Adobe-supported

PDF files

* Use a single template for both printing and PDF conversion to ensure

an exact match

* Seamlessly integrate emailing, Web posting, and archiving with

report data

"Document output management is enhanced through automatic electronic distribution of PDF files as well as print output capabilities," said JBM's President, Murray Bob.

Windows print drivers are used to print to any PostScript(TM), PCL printers, low cost digital copiers and production-class printers including Xerox Docutech(TM) and Docuprint(TM). "Additionally," says Murray, "any data field or position within a text report can be interactively defined as variables for automatic report bursting, Web access, file/directory path names, email addressing, and command line switch settings."

OctoTools can receive, report, and text output from simultaneous remote sources by utilizing RPM Remote Print Manager(R) from Brooks Internet Software. OctoTools with RPM provides a universal gateway to receive input from just about any computer platform or environment. The Windows centric architecture eliminates the requirement for intrusive and expensive software on host systems and offloads compute-intensive processing. Cost effective for users from large corporations to small government agencies, OctoTools is priced per server and not tied to printer speed or performance. OctoTools' end-user quantity price is $2,995.

JBM Systems is a software manufacturer of PDF conversion document management and report processing software including OctoPDF(TM), OctoBurst(TM) and OctoPCL(TM). Headquartered in Peabody MA, JBM Systems provides software solutions worldwide.
