We use Quadient Inspire to create mail merges of various degrees of complexity and formats for numerous services, advertising and marketing campaigns. This may include transactional processes such as invoices, statements, demands etc. It has enabled us to broaden the scope of what we do, from using client supplied databases to capturing information directly from pre-printed PDFs. The flexibility of this tool enables us to meet most of the demands of our customers in ways that would have been much more problematic in the past.
  • I am impressed with the way that documents can be inserted as images or natively to create the greatest flexibility of production from final file sizes and formats to amending content via personalisation with the minimum of difficulty.
  • The intuitive drag and drop facility in the workflows makes even complex processes easy to work with despite potentially appearing daunting at first sight.
  • Modules are capable of great adaptability and precision from inserting crop marks, imposing multiple copies onto single sheets, capturing data from input documents etc that make otherwise serious problems practical to solve.
  • Scripting gives almost limitless power to manipulate data and documents to fulfil the requirements of our customers across a wide breadth of possibilities.
  • There is an excellent and responsive community on hand to provide expert advice when we are challenged by either the application itself or what we need to achieve using it.
  • Scripting is quite daunting to the uninitiated and more help would be appreciated.
  • Transactional mail is quite complex to put together but that is to be expected from its very nature. Although we did receive some additional basic training on this, it still remains a little unclear.
  • Some of the error messages received during processing could be more specific so that the user can diagnose more effectively the issue at hand.
Inspire Designer is supremely well adapted to preparing new workflows from scratch for basic mail merging solutions. In some cases, the final output can be created in just a few minutes. But if the requirement is more complex such as using variable document artwork or conditional data it can be used in an effective straightforward way. It is well suited to so much of what our customers ask of us, even if they want things that at first seem unusual. For repeat work, templates can be set up that speed processing up immeasurably when compared with previous methods.

In our organization, We are currently using Quadient Inspire Designer, Inspire Content Manager, Inspire Interactive and Inspire Scaler in our projects. Now a days in the market Quadient is one of the most reliable CCM applications. By using Quadient Inspire products we can deliver paper-based, e-mail-based and digital-based communication to customers.
  • Contact customers via their choice of channel.
  • Personalise customer communications.
  • Can be ahead in CCM technology.
  • So far everything is seems fine with Quadient products.
  • They should include easy migration with all other technology.
  • They should include features to rename all the layout objects automatically as per the context of the respective project.
I have developed very simply one-page letters with Quadient Inspire products as well as complex booklets of 200 to 300 pages. I personally feel that by using Quadient products we can give personalized output to our customers. Through Quadient products, I have always been able to solve any type of CCM problem.

We use Quadient Inspire for print, email, and online communication of marketing, statement, notification, and regulatory compliance documents and information. We send millions of communication annually, from thousands of internal sources. Inspire helps us to unify these communications into one platform and interface, and allows us to efficiently manage these communications.
  • Rationalizing data from different input sources.
  • Powerful programming allowing for flexible and innovative solutions.
  • Rapid development and testing.
  • Seamless deployment into production.
  • SDL management via ICM.
  • Support of legacy print systems could be easier.
  • More examples and built solutions on Exchange.
  • Developer licenses so individuals can learn outside of a company.
Well suited for: Fast migration from other platforms/solutions, the rapid development of net new work. It handles complex data and complex communications well. Not particularly well suited for development by new users, there is a learning curve.

It is used within the DATA department allowing us to create bespoke dynamic communications for customers.
  • Creation of PDF
  • Manipulation of data
  • Sometimes the learning curve can be very steep
  • The help files are not always very helpful
If you have data and need to create a mail merge, you dont need to use word and excel, inspire is much better suited to the task.

We use Quadient Inspire as a core to our output creation methodology. Without this software, we would struggle to create most of our tangible content.
  • Creates PDFs
  • Manipulates data
  • Efficient operations
  • Cost
  • Steep learning curve
  • It isn't wide spread enough to be able to get help from just about anyone.
It is perfect for the creation of letters based on a set template.

Inspire is used to turn large sets of boring data into amazing looking client communications. XML and SQL data go in at one end, its then restructured and manipulated, and then put back together before being integrated into various layout templates.

In the most simple terms, it allows us to present clients' data to them in a way that is professional-looking, informative and user-friendly.
  • Restructures and merges data from multiple sources
  • Produces great looking reports and correspondence
  • automates the process including sending out the door in an audit-able way.
  • It has a really steep learning curve.
  • There is always more to learning and it may take years to find every feature that's useful to you.
  • Its not cheap, but then again, what enterprise software is?
We use it for producing all forms of reports and correspondence going out of the business. This ranges from simple letters to complex reports.

Our most complex process takes in 20,000+ line XML's and data from multiple SQL servers and CSV's and merges them into 100+ page reports featuring custom explanations, graphs, tables and graphics.

I have been using Quadient Inspire on a daily basis (for many years) for data manipulation and document composition. So far it has been able to handle every scenario, no matter how complex, and yet is quick and easy enough to also use for simple assignments. This versatility makes Inspire Designer a true 'one size fits all' solution.
  • The ability to set up complex universal templates to handle frequently repeated tasks is a real time saver.
  • Reading in data files and performing many layers of computations and formatting in a single pass helps to minimize touch points, which in turn minimizes human error.
  • Is there a useful output format that is not supported? I haven't come across a need yet that cannot be met.
  • One shortcoming would have to be in the documentation, which is impressive, yet... since the scripting language used is proprietary, a more concise and comprehensive explanation of all the available commands (including syntax and examples) would be helpful.
From multiple data inputs to multiple data and / or document outputs, no matter how many steps are required in between, Inspire Designer has been up to the task. The learning curve is not difficult, and yet, the learning never ends. I am constantly finding new ways to utilize this set of tools to accomplish tasks that previously were handled with other tools.
