Case Study: a statewide government agency cuts print costs and streamlines AFP distribution with Solimar Systems iCONVERT

Powerful AFP Conversion and Print Management Delivers Mainframe Documents to More Than 2500 Offices Statewide

a statewide government agency based in Jefferson City, MO, faced the challenge of distributing documents from its legacy mainframe applications to over 2500 PCL printers across 115 counties. Their existing solutions for converting IPDS data were expensive and complex, requiring costly hardware and software at each remote location. They turned to Solimar Systems and implemented its iCONVERT solution to streamline this process.

Solimar's iCONVERT solution was implemented on seven centralized servers, which converted the mainframe's IPDS data stream to PCL for distribution, eliminating the need for 200 remote servers. This centralized approach simplified support, provided fault tolerance, and significantly reduced hardware and software expenses. The agency now manages 1.8 million print jobs per month more efficiently and has realized considerable operational cost savings while standardizing its entire printing environment.
