Product Overview

EZ-Letter is a z/OS-based solution designed for creating and managing complex documents, forms, and letters. It allows document design using Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, or QuarkXPress, with import via EZ-Letter Link. Documents can incorporate graphs, indexes, full color content, and arithmetic calculations.

Supported output formats include AFP, Xerox Metacode, and HP-PCL. The architecture includes the Document Designer, used to create and modify document templates; the Data Integration Module, which connects to various data sources; and the Output Engine, which generates the final documents. These components communicate through internal APIs and message queues.

Configuration files define document templates, data sources, and output settings. EZ-Letter supports authentication via LDAP and Active Directory, with role-based access control (RBAC) for user permissions. Administrative interfaces include a command-line interface (CLI) and a web console.

Monitoring and logging capabilities are provided to track system performance. Competing products include GMC Inspire and OpenText Exstream. EZ-Letter's support for Xerox Metacode output is a key architectural consideration.
