Silveredge was a sponsor at the Wisconsin Midrange Computer Professional Association (WMCPA) 2012 Spring Technical Conference.  It was held March 21-22 at the Grand Geneva in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.  This IBM I Conference is well attended by companies from Minnesota, the greater Chicago area, Northern Illinois, and all of Wisconsin.  It is a great venue to gain quality education sessions and meet other members and speakers from the IBM I Community at large.  It was exciting to see so many of you and meet so many NEW STUDENTS as well as IBM i Customers.

Speakers for the 2012 Spring Conference include: Aaron Bartell, Larry Bolhuis, Bob Cozzi, Mike Pavlak, Jon Paris, Susan Gantner, and Alan Seiden.  Steve Will and Pete Massiello will each be doing a Keynote.

A huge advantage exists in that all users know how to manipulate PDF documents.  Not true with spool files.  This eliminates windowing in a spool file, and general viewing struggles.

While we think it is relatively easy to use and implement, call us if you want to know more or see how we have changed even our own internal invoicing system.  For more sophisticated needs, you will need a forms package or document management system.  However, there is a strong argument that no new spool files should be created.

Version 5010 will bring greater automation and interoperability among health care providers, hospitals, pharmacies, and payers. Organizations can leverage these EDI changes in combination with HIPAA and ICD-10 enhancements in their internal systems to reduce administrative costs.
