Mail Merge and Statement Composer - Version 7

The Mail Merge and Statement Composer is the foremost reporting software tool for producing virtually any document for the production environment including: dynamic and static statements, booklets, invoices, catalogues, mail merges, forms, cheque imaging and other variable data driven documents. Full automation capability added !

This development environment integrates with leading business processes and tools for reduced implementation time.

Main Benefits:

  • Fast and Efficient: Our Ultra High Speed Page Composition Engine, unlike printer drivers that have numerous speed, capacity and formatting limitations.
  • Accurate: Text, Cheques, Graphics, Objects, Barcodes and OMR marks can be variably sized and positioned anywhere on the page.
  • Open Architecture: Standard Database and text format inputs are used to produce fully self-contained Postscript output files, perfect for full color printing.
  • Mission-Critical Support: Telephone, E-mail, Web, Fax, On-Site call, Remote Desktop, Terminal services and NetMeeting support available.
  • User Friendly GUI: Easy-to-use, intuitive, WYSIWYG architecture designed for the Windows environment.
  • Automation: Start any composition run with one click.
  • In-house Training: 2 and 4 day in-depth courses available.
  • Quick Development Time: Special tools built-in to prevent syntax errors and for debugging runtime errors.
  • Add-ins: Multi-image processor and Ultra high-speed image fetcher for processing millions of images, including cheque images from Credit Union Central.
  • Word Macro to automatically convert Word letters into Dynamic Files.
