Replace Print Management Tools on Mainframe Systems with OM Plus

In this case study, we will explore how a company that utilized advanced print management tools for years on their HP 3000 was able to replicate and improve their print management capabilities on their new AIX based system by using OM Plus as their print and output management system.

Note: There are numerous types of print management toolsets in use on proprietary platforms that do not also run on open platforms. OM Plus can replace virtually any proprietary print management toolset when the application is migrated to an open system like UNIX/Linux or Windows Server. Contact Plus Technologies for more details.

Business Problem – During their migration from a proprietary HP 3000 system, that they had been running for many years, to a new application server running AIX, they realized that their print and output management toolsets would not economically migrate over to the AIX platform. They had spent many years developing their print management and document output management processes utilizing products such as Spoolmate, By Request and DataNow and they were faced with the daunting challenge of re-creating their processes, re-training personnel, re-creating electronic forms and generally not being able to do the same types of things they used to do with respect to print and output management. They did not have the same level of advanced tools in the basic AIX implementation that they were used to having available to them in their HP 3000 environment.
