Smart Migration from Documaker to Quadient Inspire
Switching from Documaker to Quadient Inspire
Organizations of all shapes and sizes are increasingly challenged to empower business users (often remote) in the engagement of customers on a completely different level. It’s simply no longer acceptable or cost-efficient to outsource document authoring to critical IT staff and produce personalized output for one-way print or electronic distribution. Customers enjoy a competitive landscape for their business, and industry leaders are increasingly winning by engaging the customer in a personalized experience that delivers information to their fingertips on any medium. Legacy applications such as Oracle Documaker simply weren’t built to address these dynamic needs, and smart organizations are succeeding by switching from Documaker to Quadient Inspire.

Our Migration Strategy
It’s important to understand that every Documaker implementation is different – some started life as Documerge conversions, while others may have been built from scratch. Some applications may have very complicated business rules and assembly logic, whereas others may consist of many static forms (such as ISO). Starting with a thorough analysis of the current system, our experienced team determines the right blend of automation and knowledge capital to apply to each individual project.
