Solutions Inc. and IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) AS/400-iSeries/400 software specialist HarrisData Inc., Brookfield, have entered into a business partnership through which ACOM will offer its award-winning EZPrint/400 MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) The machine recognition of numeric data printed with magnetically charged ink.

The EZPrint/400 check processing solution enables users to print checks on MICR laser printers using stored electronic check templates and blank safety check stock.

It also incorporates capabilities for electronic document printing and for faxing/e-mailing directly from the computer.

Nelson noted that the ACOM relationship is the only partnership the company has formed with a check processing solution vendor and that through EZPrint/400, HarrisData software users can add significantly to the economies and efficiencies they already realize from generating checks in-house In-house In the context of general equities, keeping an activity within the firm. For example, rather than go to the marketplace and sell a security for a client to anyone, an attempt is made to find a buyer to complete the transaction with the firm. rather than outsourcing (1) Contracting with outside consultants, software houses or service bureaus to perform systems analysis, programming and datacenter operations.

"Our customers employ from 200 to several thousand people, and for companies of this size it is usually most economical to generate payroll internally," Nelson said. "However, many companies still outsource because they don't want to deal with the labor-intensive bursting, decollating, collating and signature processes associated with preprinted, multi-part check forms. "By generating secure checks complete with all corporate graphics and location information, payer/payee, MICR lines, check numbers and signatures in a single pass through a MICR laser printer, EZPrint/400 solves that problem." Firmin noted that while mid-market businesses often have been technologically underserved in the past, alliances such as that with HarrisData will help remedy the situation. "Often, it has been a matter of information and access," he said. "Through access to HarrisData customers through such activities as its User Group Conference, we feel that we can make a major difference in upgrading their operations to compete more effectively in an increasingly demanding business climate."
