Question from Nevada Division of Welfare & Supportive Services

Question Text

A representative from the Nevada Division of Welfare & Supportive Services is seeking information about document management systems in other States that satisfy all of their outgoing program correspondence needs and meets the following minimum criteria:

  • SOFTWARE CRITERIA: The software must run on AIX or Windows servers and must provide API's that can be called in Java or EGL code. We need one solution that will work for mainframe and server applications. The software must be able to convert all our existing Adobe forms. The software must include support for IBM mainframe printers (see attached example). The marks in the margin are required for mainframe printing to indicate how many pages must be grouped and stuffed into a single envelope. The software should include SOA support so that it can be called as a service. The software must support PDF files. The software must support the use of all special characters, so Spanish forms can be developed.
  • SYSTEM CRITERIA: The system must allow for forms to be modified without requiring each form be initiated manually (i.e. the form should be generated automatically unless the user chooses to review and/or modify the form first). The system must make the form instantly available for review and/or modification. The system must allow for selection of either a Spanish or English version of a form on demand
