IBM i (AS/400) Document Processing
Paper documents still drive core business processes in organizations running IBM i (AS/400) systems. LegacyBridge bridges the gap between physical documents and your green screen applications — scanning, extracting, and entering data end-to-end without human intervention.
Documents We Process
From Paper to IBM i (AS/400) — Automatically
1. Document Ingestion
Upload scanned documents via the LegacyBridge dashboard, API, email inbox, or watched folder. Supports PDF, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, and multi-page documents. No templates or zones to configure.
2. AI Field Extraction
AI vision analyzes the entire document, identifying field labels, values, tables, and handwritten entries. Unlike template-based OCR, it adapts to document variations — different vendors, layouts, and formats.
3. Data Mapping & Validation
Extracted values are mapped to your IBM i screen fields. The system validates data formats, cross-references related fields, and flags anomalies for human review before entry.
4. IBM i Terminal Entry
LegacyBridge opens a TN5250 session to your IBM i, navigates to the correct program, and enters data field by field. It handles function keys, menu selections, and multi-screen workflows automatically.
Minimal Setup. Adaptive Learning. Low Maintenance.
Traditional document processing requires building OCR templates for each document type — defining zones, anchors, and extraction rules. When vendors change their invoice layout, templates break.
LegacyBridge uses AI vision that understands document semantics. It reads documents the way a human does — finding “Total Amount” by reading the label, not by checking pixel coordinates. New document formats work on day one.
