InterformNG2 Intelligent Output Management

InterformNG2 helps organisations design, manage and deliver business documents across print and digital channels. From template design and workflow automation to monitoring, archiving and output delivery, NG2 provides full control over document generation and document processes.

InterformNG2 Capabilities

InterformNG2 can process a variety of input data formats generated by ERP systems and business applications.

Intelligent Designer

InterformNG2 includes a graphical designer that allows organisations to create and manage document templates without complex programming.

Templates can be created using a drag‑and‑drop interface and reused across multiple document types and output channels. The designer supports dynamic layouts and conditional logic so documents adapt automatically based on the input data.

Workflow Automation

Workflow automation allows organisations to control how documents are processed and delivered.

Rules can determine how documents are routed, split, merged or distributed across systems and delivery channels. This enables consistent document handling across large volumes of ERP‑generated output.

Monitoring

Monitoring provides real‑time visibility into document workflows and output processes running within InterformNG2. Monitoring capabilities include:

real-time workflow status
summaries of failed items
system health indicators
detailed job logs for workflow execution

Notifications can be configured to alert teams when errors occur or when defined workflow events are triggered.

Archiving

Archiving allows organisations to store generated documents for future retrieval and compliance purposes.

Documents can be archived automatically as part of the document workflow and accessed when needed for operational or regulatory requirements.

Output Continuity

Output continuity ensures that document processes continue operating during system outages, upgrades or infrastructure changes.

Fallback workflows and controlled error handling allow organisations to maintain document generation and distribution without interrupting business operations.

APIs & Integrations

InterformNG2 integrates with ERP systems and other business applications through multiple integration methods. 
Supported integration options include:

REST web services
file and folder integration

These integration options allow InterformNG2 to receive data from different systems and trigger document workflows automatically.
