A modern, flexible output platform for documents and labels

Infor XA

Interform replaces traditional IBM i formatting tools and custom XA printing with a modern, flexible output platform for documents and labels.

Infor XA provides the data. Interform transforms it into professional, enriched and automated output, without programming.

Interform is the official Infor output and forms partner for Infor XA and has supported manufacturing organisations 
worldwide since 1999.

Infor XA customers typically choose Interform when:

Standard Infor XA output and IBM i tools are too limited for document and label requirements

XA users want to avoid Infor XA or MAPICS customisation and keep layouts, logic and workflows outside the ERP

Output must work across different Infor XA versions (RX6, RX7, RX9 and beyond)

Spool-file-based output needs to be modernised, standardised or converted to XML - release 11 onward

High-volume printing and label workflows are business-critical to manufacturing and distribution

From release 11, XA supports XML, and Interform is the official output solution for XA

With Interform, we got a solution that was possible to grow with and get a better user experience

Interform has served us well. It has an easy-to-use designer, and we got a lot of extra functions. We are dependent on good support, and Interform hasn’t disappointed us.

How Interform works with Infor XA 

Infor XA generates standard output data such as spool files and print streams. Interform works alongside Infor XA, handling design, transformation, workflows and delivery outside the ERP. 

ERP on-premise architecture

When your ERP runs on-premise, Interform is typically deployed on-premise as well. Interform acts as a composable output layer: the ERP generates business data, while Interform manages document design, workflows, and distribution – without embedding logic in ERP code.

Upgrade-safe Output Management

Because output is decoupled from the ERP core, ERP upgrades and maintenance can be completed without reworking business-critical documents and labels, reducing risk across the ERP lifecycle.

Stable performance and operational control

An on-premise ERP and Interform setup ensures predictable print performance and local control of core processes such as label and document printing, safeguarding daily operations.

Full flexibility

When moving your ERP to the cloud, Interform NG2 can be deployed either in the cloud (with a local print client) or on-premise

Print performance for cloud ERP

If print performance is a priority, deploying Interform NG2 on-premise can be advantageous, allowing data to flow directly from a cloud ERP to a local output solution for fast and more reliable printing

Safe ERP migrations and upgrades

Interform operates as a composable output layer, decoupled from the ERP core, enabling safer ERP upgrades and cloud migrations

Cross company capability

Output is a cross-company capability that integrates data from Finance, Supply Chain, Warehousing, and non-ERP systems, enabling all output to be managed in one place across the organisation

Built for business-critical output

Output is business-critical in manufacturing and distribution. If documents or labels fail, operations stop. 

Interform is built to support high-volume, high-performance output, stable printing and delivery, and long-term platform reliability for processes that cannot afford downtime.

With Interform, Infor XA output remains reliable, consistent and ready for future change.
