INFORMIX-4GL accounts payable system
GTE National Fleet Operations centralized their bill payment operations near
Dallas TX, substantially reducing the cost of processing the approximately
10,000 invoices each month for their nationwide fleet of more than 22,000
vehicles. GTE's Sequent based INFORMIX-4GL application is used by 21 Support
Assets clerks on Windows 3.1 PCs. Each clerk has an HP ScanJet 3P scanner,
SwiftScan, SwiftView and a VT100 terminal emulator application.
As the data from each invoice is entered into the database, clerks also scan
each invoice and the resulting TIFF files are stored on the Sequent system. The
scanning and checking process is under complete control of GTE's INFORMIX-4GL
based system, submitting ICS commands to UNIX pipes to control SwiftScan
and SwiftView executing at each desk. SwiftServe is used for
TCP/IP document access. Scanned invoices are made available during the payment
approval process to remote managers and supervisors via fax.
