Recent Initiatives

• Moving almost ALL reporting from our legacy production system (TORCS) and integrating reporting functionality with WebFOCUS and ReportCaster– One version of the “truth”– No more fixed fonts, “ugly” mainframe reports– Outputs to PDF and Postscript – technology update– Use of graphics, colors, bar codes, custom fonts– Allows for automated bursting , sorting, stuffing, and

delivery
