Forms Integrity Manager for Oracle

Insurance companies want to distribute clear, high-quality communications to their customers, regardless of the type of document output they use. When converting documents from one format to another, users must test the final output to ensure that page design, fonts, and layout have not changed from the original. This typically requires printing out reams of paper and inspecting them visually — a tedious, labor-intensive process.

Forms Integrity Manager for Oracle is an automated print stream comparison tool that speeds the task of comparing two print streams. Automated comparison occurs in a fraction of the time that manual testing takes. In fact, Forms Integrity Manager for Oracle can dramatically decrease user-testing cycles by as much as 80 percent, while at the same time dramatically increasing the amount and thoroughness of the testing being done. Forms Integrity Manager for Oracle creates maximum efficiency in comparing output while helping to ensure that documents are error-free and customer-ready.

• On-screen comparison of AFP, Metacode, PDF, PCL, and Postscript output. This is environmentally friendly and significantly reduces print-related costs.
• User-defined criteria identify which types of changes should be highlighted. This speeds testing by reducing the number of changes that users need to view and helps ensure that users are focused on identifying issues such as unplanned differences.
• Side-by-side view of print streams compared. This allows users to identify changes and quickly make decisions on whether further action is required.
• Compares and highlights changes in visually different text, images, and graphics. This bypasses irrelevant changes (such as the name of the style applied) while catching changes that could easily be overlooked in a manual comparison. This helps ensure delivery of higher quality documents to customers.
• Compares multiple files in large batches. Forms Integrity Manager for Oracle enables comparison of thousands of pages in a small fraction of the time it would take to compare them manually. This significantly increases the number of pages that can be compared in a reasonable amount of time, resulting in better quality output.
