About TCM
Technology Corporate Management (TCM) is one of South Africa's largest privately-owned IT companies. Founded in 1987 and headquartered in Johannesburg, it delivers integrated infrastructure and IT services to customers across southern Africa, with offices in five cities and a support network nationwide.
TCM's offering spans end-user computing, data centre and cloud services, networking, managed print services and enterprise software. It is an IBM Partner Plus Gold Partner and a Level 2 B-BBEE contributor, and TCM Academy has provided accredited IT training since 2007.
How we work together
Many South African businesses run their core operations on IBM i. Those systems produce a constant flow of documents and labels: invoices, delivery notes, purchase orders, statements and barcoded output. InterformNG2 produces every one of those documents from a single Output Management platform and delivers them to the right destination.
TCM knows the IBM i environment well: it holds IBM Partner Plus Gold status and has been an Interform partner since 2011. Interform develops and licenses InterformNG2. TCM scopes the project, installs and configures the software, builds the first templates, trains your staff and answers support calls in South Africa, with Interform's product team in Denmark behind it.
Output Management on IBM i
InterformNG2 runs natively on IBM i, so there is no Windows client to install and no separate server to run. It reads the spool files and application data your systems already produce (SCS, AFPDS, XML, JSON) and turns them into finished documents and labels, delivered by print, email, PDF or EDI.
InterformNG2 for IBM i →Design, automation and industrial printing
Layout changes are made in a browser-based designer: move a field, swap a logo, add a barcode, then test against real data before the new version goes live. Automated workflows route each document to the right destination, and native printer languages (ZPL and PCL) drive label, barcode and RFID printing at full speed in the warehouse and on the production line.
What you get
Output Management that runs natively on IBM i, from day one - no extra platform to introduce
Business users update layouts, logos and fields themselves - no IBM i programming required
Output that stays intact through upgrades, migrations and cloud transitions. Your investment is protected.
Compliance covered: GS1 and RFID labels, electronic invoicing formats and PDF/A long-term archiving
One platform for every channel on IBM i: print, email, PDF, EDI and labels
