Modernise your Output Management at your pace and without disruption

Many organisations rely on output setups that have served the business for years. Interform helps you modernise these environments without losing the knowledge, stability or logic you already depend on. Move safely to a future ready platform that works with any ERP, on premise or in the cloud.

Addressing output in your ERP transition

Output management plays a critical role in business operations, especially during ERP upgrades and cloud transitions. Existing output may seem stable, but system changes can affect formats, integrations and delivery.

Without early attention, this can introduce risk, delays and unexpected rework later in the project. Addressing output during the buying and planning phase helps prevent surprises and protects continuity.

Interform supports migrations from a wide range of legacy systems, including older SAP, Infor, Dynamics, Oracle and IBM i / AS400 environments. You can modernise what needs to change while preserving the elements that already work well, ensuring control and a predictable path to production.

How we approach migration

Modernising a legacy output environment does not have to be complex and it does not require repeating the work that was done 10 to 25 years ago.

Many legacy setups were built with care and deep business knowledge, often adapted over years to meet changing requirements. That work is valuable and our goal is to preserve what still works while helping you move to a platform that is easier to maintain going forward.

Interform supports different migration approaches, whether the work is carried out by your internal team, an external consultant, or with guidance from Interform’s experts.

The aim is to build on your existing foundation, not replace it unnecessarily.

Interform’s role is to provide a modern output platform that makes the migration easier, faster and more structured, giving you the benefits of today’s technology while respecting the investment already made in your current setup.

Step-by-step

We follow a proven, step-by-step process to modernise your output environment without disrupting daily operations, ensuring clarity, relevance, and long-term maintainability.

A cleaner, faster and easier to maintain output environment that uses today’s technology while respecting and preserving the work invested in your existing setup.

Identify what should be carried forward

Many legacy environments contain unused or outdated content. Only relevant items are considered for migration.

Use modern tools to simplify the work

Interform is far more capable than most older systems. This means a large part of the work is completed faster, often requiring only a fraction of the time compared to the original setup.

Run old and new outputs in parallel

Both environments operate at the same time until everything is validated. This avoids disruption to production.

Design a cleaner structure using modern capabilities

Legacy systems often grew organically and became complex.  With Interform, the design is simplified rather than copied one to one. Example: reducing 500 templates to 50.

Understand the current setup

Review what is in use today. Long running systems often contain hundreds of templates that have accumulated over time.

The outcome

A cleaner, faster and easier to maintain output environment that uses today’s technology while respecting and preserving the work invested in your existing setup.

The challenge

Organisations often rely on output solutions that are tightly linked to older ERPs or customised applications. These setups work well but can make upgrades or cloud transitions more difficult. When formats, logic or delivery rules are tied to a legacy system, there is a real concern about losing stability.

Modern requirements such as PDF/UA, accessibility or region specific standards can add further pressure. The goal is to keep output reliable, compliant and consistent while the systems around it evolve.
