Output Management for Iptor

iptor logo

Interform enhances Iptor output

partnership illustration

Interform is the official output management solution for Iptor, providing a single, proven platform for designing, managing 
and distributing business-critical output from Iptor solutions. 
Iptor applications generate the business data.

Interform turns that data into consistent, reliable output across documents, labels and electronic formats, delivered through the channels your organisation requires. Interform works across on‑premise, hybrid and cloud environments and supports both IBM i–based and modern application landscapes. 

Iptor customers face increasing complexity in how output is produced, managed and distributed. 

Common challenges include: 

  • Multiple document and label formats across systems and locations 
  • High demands on accuracy and consistency for business‑critical output 
  • Legacy output tools tightly coupled to IBM i (AS/400) environments 
  • Increased complexity during platform modernisation and cloud transitions 
  • Limited flexibility to adapt output without high maintenance effort 

Organisations need an output solution that supports both existing and future environments without adding risk.

Interform for Iptor 

Interform provides a unified Output Management platform for Iptor solutions, working both on and off the IBM i platform. 

Iptor applications send output data to Interform using standard formats such as XML and spool data. Interform handles layout, logic, workflows and distribution independently of the application. 

This decoupled approach protects output investments as platforms and architectures evolve. 

How Interform works with Iptor 

Iptor applications generate the business data. Interform completes the output process outside the application: document and label design; business logic and validation; workflow automation; distribution across print, PDF, archive and electronic channels. Output remains consistent across on‑premise, hybrid and cloud environments. 

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, InterformNG2 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 InterformNG2 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
