"There are three good reasons why we chose to implement LaserNet: Firstly, LaserNet is not dependent on a printer, in contrast to our previous form printing system. Next, we can perform the programming and preparation directly in LaserNet which we’d otherwise have to do in our financial management system. It’s a huge benefit to us, saving both time and money. And last but not least we can easily and efficiently reuse the forms we make in LaserNet when we switch from using Concorde XAL to Dynamics AX as an ERP system". (ERP: Dynamics AX)

"In 2005 we replaced our old, self-developed ERP system with SAP ERP, something we’ve never regretted, as it’s a brilliant ERP system. But when we need to generate good-looking invoices, order confirmations and other documents needing to be sent hard copy – for that we use LaserNet. It’s not only much quicker to use than SAP, it’s also much more flexible - in terms of output.” These are the words of Morten Frederiksen, MSc in Business Economics, who since 2002 has been head of IT at Aalborg Portland’s Danish division. Aalborg Portland employs almost 1,700 people worldwide and generates a global annual turnover of more than DKK 3 billion. (ERP: SAP)

This was quickly & easily achieved with LaserNet, and we have saved a fortune on printing and handling all our forms, but this is not all that it has done for us. LaserNet has proved to be a very good tool for streamlining our printing processes. For example, we are now able to print the invoice, delivery order and address label in one go, rather than having to do it separately. LaserNet continues to save us a great deal of money.” (ERP: Oracle)

A year ago, the most important demand which garden furniture specialist Hartman had when they searched for an application which could produce a standardized layout for all their business documents was very simple: It had to be a document layout tool which was easy to manage and which could work independently of their host system, an IBM System I (formerly AS/400).

All documents produced from our ERP system have the same layout for each subsidiary. That makes it easier for us to implement standard documents (Keyword CI). If employees travel around to other locations on business trips, they do not need to worry about the printout at the next location, thanks to LaserNet”. (ERP: Dynamics NAV)
