IT manager Peter Harboe, Fiat Finansiering A/S:
"The use of Intelligent Text Processing results in more time for our customers"

The Customer: Fiat Finansiering A/S

Fiat Finansiering is a company of the Italian Fiat Group and is situated in Glostrup very close to Fiat's Danish importer. The company offers low-priced loans for buyers of new and used cars - irrespective of make/brand. Fiat Finansiering employs 22 staff.

The question: How can we create good looking output out of our AS/400?

"Our IT platform is IBM's AS/400 system, which runs to our complete satisfaction. But its output function is not powerful enough to comply with our requirements.
Besides this we realise that everybody now has a PC including a word processor, with the effect that more letters are written than before. Final productivity, however, has not risen."

The Solution: Using ITP we can mass-produce individualised letters and documents at a high efficiency rate.

In so-called ITP models text, lay-out and merged data are combined.
ITP models can be run by our users just by keying in a code, e.g. an account number, and ITP will finish the document, including the insertion of all data and selection of text sections and tables.
Necessary data are retrieved based on a direct connection between the ITP software on each PC and the company's AS/400 DB2 database.
Then all of it will be printed in one operation - ready to be put into envelopes.
So the entire letter or document is automatically produced and tailor-made for each individual recipient.

The Bottom line: Big advantages with ITP.

"ITP gives Fiat Finasiering a free choice in relation to layout, fonts, etc. Our long time wish is fulfilled: give our letters and documents a far more elaborate look than before. This is a big advantage for our business."
