AFP2web for document transformation
AFP2web is a special product for high-volume output transformation. It converts legacy document formats such as AFP and LPD into modern formats that are ready for archiving and further processing. Automated, scalable, and without replacing your source systems.
It is aimed at banks, insurance companies, telecommunications providers and other organizations carrying legacy mainframe or output management systems. If you do not process AFP or LPD, you do not need AFP2web. A standard OXS.eco document management project works without this module.
What AFP2web turns a legacy format into
AFP documents from mainframes or output systems cannot be read by modern document management, archives or e-invoicing. AFP2web converts them automatically into standards-based output formats.
AFP2web is aimed at IT architects and output managers
AFP2web is not an end-user tool. It is built for technical decision-makers who have to modernize legacy document processes.
Banks & financial services
Convert bank statements, loan documents and correspondence from mainframe systems into PDF/A, as the basis for archiving, dispatch and e-invoicing.
Insurance
Transform policies, claim decisions and correspondence from AFP output into modern, archive-ready formats.
Telecommunications providers
Prepare invoices, contract documents and bulk communication from output systems for digital delivery and e-invoicing.
When AFP2web makes sense
AFP2web is most relevant when existing output processes need modernizing.
Transform AFP & legacy formats
AFP, LPD and raster documents from mainframe or output systems are converted into modern formats such as PDF/A, with no need to touch the source systems.
Prepare for archiving
Documents are written out as PDF/A and are therefore ready for audit-proof long-term archiving in OXS.eco.
Prepare for e-invoicing
AFP2web delivers the transformed PDF/A documents. OXS.eco then creates the structured e-invoice data (ZUGFeRD / Factur-X) from them.
Prepare dispatch & display
Documents are brought into the right format for output channels such as print, web display, email dispatch or portal download.
Bulk processing
AFP2web is built to process large document volumes: batch processing, automated pipelines and high throughput.
PDF/UA & accessibility
Accessible PDF/UA output on request, depending on the project; relevant for public sector clients and accessible communication.
AFP2web vs. OXS.eco
AFP2web is for high-volume output and legacy print data. OXS.eco is for document processes, approvals, case files and archiving. If you need both, you combine them. If you only need a DMS, you do not need AFP2web.
AFP2web and OXS.eco complement each other
Generate documents
Line-of-business systems, mainframes or output systems deliver documents in AFP, LPD or other legacy formats.
Transform
AFP2web converts them automatically into PDF/A. Source systems stay unchanged.
File and classify
OXS.eco turns them into PDF/A-3 with ZUGFeRD or other target formats and takes them into case files, workflows and archiving processes, fully integrated.
Prove it
Documents are archived aligned with GoBD, searchable, and can be pulled up by filter during an audit.
Frequently asked questions about AFP2web
AFP (Advanced Function Presentation) is a document format from the IBM mainframe world. Modern document management systems, browsers and archive solutions cannot read it without specialist software, so it has to be converted into standard formats.
No. AFP2web sits as a transformation layer between the source system and the target system. Mainframes, output systems and line-of-business systems stay completely unchanged.
A first transformation for live operation is built up step by step, depending on the complexity of the source formats, the number of document types and the requirements for the output formats. We discuss the concrete scope in the technical initial call.
AFP2web is quoted individually, based on document volume, format complexity and the scope of integration. We do not publish list prices, because no two output processes are alike. After a short technical call we put together a concrete quote.
AFP2web converts legacy print data such as AFP, LPD and raster formats into modern formats; OXS.eco covers inbound documents, workflows, case files and the archive. The two can be combined.
No. Office documents such as Word, Excel or ordinary PDFs are processed directly by OXS.eco, without AFP2web. AFP2web is a special product for AFP, LPD, raster and mainframe output formats.
Where does AFP2web fit technically?
We work out together whether AFP2web, OXS.eco or the combination is right for your output and archiving process.
