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.
  • Broad range of options to meet our clients' requirements.
  • Power, speed and efficiency of processing.
  • Intuitive workflow design to aid users.

  • The speed with which workflows can be created and amended increases the productivity of our department in comparison with older and less effective solutions.
  • Processing is also much quicker than we were accustomed to with our previous software package. Clearly this is advantageous for what we can offer to our clients and has enabled us to offer much more than previously; including recently our largest ever campaign which would have been much more daunting in the past.
  • Although such a tool comes with a significant cost, the power it provides soon makes it a worthy investment due to the increased scope of options and the reduction in preparation and processing schedules.
Previously we used Objectif Lune's PlanetPress suite. A few years ago, when I first became aware of it, this appeared to revolutionise the possibilities when compared to what went before. But now there has been a similar quantum leap thanks to Quadient Inspire. The intuitive methodology of the workflow, precision of the options within the modules, processing power and speed, plus the excellent degree of support offered in the University makes this a vast improvement and has enabled us to offer much more to our clients than would have been possible before.
Answers always seem to be prompt and helpful with a level of detail befitting the experience of the respective user making the enquiry. This can even involve someone creating a workflow to not only solve the problem but also help the questioner perhaps understand some of the principles involved.
Not Sure
No
We had a really complex job which involved data of variable sources and sizes resulting in output of numerous different formats. In particular, we were struggling with being able to label some of these reports with counts of pages for the different subsets. But the forums were particularly helpful and enabled to solve the problem quite quickly and also enable us to store this solution for use in future is something similar is presented to us.
Inspire has enormous scope for creating output of numerous different formats and scales. As such, it is necessarily quite a complex tool. But taking these aspects into account I think it has been created in a logical and straightforward way that has minimised some of the problems that this could have brought about. Overall, it is much more powerful and intuitive than other options I've used in the past.
  • The system of modules within the workflow space is excellent and easy to follow.
  • Being able to select and import artwork using conditions or variables has been especially helpful.
  • I quite like the options available for naming output files using simple variable options.
  • I'm still in the early stages of learning how to use scripting.
  • Sometimes I wonder if the long chains of links in the design layout could be streamlined when it comes to text styles, fonts etc.

For the past 5 years, I have been consistently using Quadient Inspire products for customer communication management. The best part of Quadient products is the easy GUI which makes it easy even for non-technical users. And Quadient has a knowledge-sharing site called Quadient University in which developers from around the world can interact with each other and share questions in the community.

We deal with all types of CCM projects such as Healthcare, Banking, Utilities, Telecommunication, Life Insurance domains etc. We have been able to achieve the desired output by using various Quadient Inspire products. Nowadays we are mainly using few Quadiant products like Inspire Designer, Inspire Content Manager, Inspire Interactive and Inspire Scalar.

You need to be a good learner to collaborate and work with Quadient. You must know about Max Quadient products.
And the best way to master it we can do Quadient Inspire Certification. We can use Quadient Education Portal and Quadient University for self learning. We can also get information about various useful topics which can help us to be a good Quadient support person.

  • Don't know
Change management was a small part of the implementation and was well-handled
The person who built the system may feel an impending sense of loss of control, as they know the system at a detailed level. They understand how it operates. They may not see some of the flaws, because they have worked around them for years. To engage these people, it is important to let them know the value of what they do is not linked to that specific legacy system. Their value is in combining rules, data and content in a way that reaches customers accurately. It helps to explain how a new system will reduce some of the re-keying parts of their job, tracking down business people, and double-checking rollout with compliance people.
  • Nothing
As you consider your digital transformation, think of the people who may object. They have valid criticisms, valuable insights and information critical to your success. Quadient’s advice is to build a strong internal team and confront these questions early. When everyone understands the project from their perspective, the project has a better chance of success.
  • Online Training
I am giving this rating because I have learnt a lot from Quadient Education Portal Training. Till now I have done 10 certifications in Quadient and every day I am learning new things from Quadient Education Portal and Quadient University. In both these platforms we can sharpen our skills and use those skills in live projects.
No, the configurability of Quadient products is not limited. Admin can configure all Quadient products as per business requirements. The configuration for all Quadient products is exactly what we can do with minimum efforts. You will never feel too broad or complicated as they have made all the tools very easy to understand even for the non-technical user.
Yes, I feel we should have follow Quadient guidelines for configuring Quadient products.The configuration for all Quadient products is exactly what we can do with minimum efforts. You will never feel too broad or complicated as they have made all the tools very easy to understand even for the non-technical user.
So far I have not found any additional configuration or customization for any of the Quadient products. But as per my self learning and I raided that Quadient University for custom configuration and customization, there are user manuals that can help us while doing this activity for Quadient Inspire products.
Quadient provides great support for all their slivers, platinum and any partners that associate with Quadient.
They provide support through e-mails, bots, calls and in-person meeting to put the customer's priority first on the list.
Along with this you can also access Quadient University where you can discuss your queries and can get resolved.

No, we have not purchased any premium support from Quadient. The reason we have not opted for premium support is because we are able to do most of the work without any hassle at the moment. And for some minor issues we can also get the desired support by using primary support.
No
As I mentioned earlier we have not purchased any premium support from Quadient as we are able to do most of the work at the moment without any hassle. And for some minor issues we can also get the desired support by using primary support.
But sometimes when I am stuck in any development work I always prefer Quadient University and there I always get all my questions answered.

I am giving this rating because Quadient products are very reliable. Quadient products can be deployed across multiple departments and sites as needed. We can integrate Quadient products with other applications and tools in a very effective, efficient and flexible way. We can deploy Quadient products in Cloud as well.
I am giving this rating because Quadient products are highly available. Most of the time all Quadient products are available. In some cases Quadient always follows the planned schedule and maintenance. They always inform all the partners and clients a day or two in advance so that the clients can work accordingly.
I want you to rate the performance of the Quadient Inspire 9 out of 10. Because every time we work with Quadient products I never feel any sluggishness and any performance issue.
Along with this, one thing that we all should understand is that the performance of any application also depends on the computer hardware. So along with the software application, your hardware should also meet the minimum requirements.

He had a very good positive attitude and intention at the time of discussion. They have shared each and every functionality of Quadient products that how capable they are to do any job.
I am giving this rating because the seller provided good customer service even after selling. The seller had great knowledge of Quadient products. He had a very good positive attitude and intention at the time of discussion. They have shared each and every functionality of Quadient products that how capable they are to do any job.
There were few basic principles we followed at that time.
We had made a plan and according to that plan we asked for each item from the seller. We had cleared all our doubts in the initial communication. We were very proactive in our communication. We also discussed emergency matters.
Anyone can follow below given tips for successful deal.
Make a plan. Before you reach out to your vendors, know what it is you're going to ask.
Be proactive in your communication. Early communication is always more welcome than suddenly reaching out in an emergency.
Find a win-win solution.
Ask for the most.

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.

  • This software runs an entire department.
There is only one location you can get support; you simply cannot just ask on random forums as no one uses this software outside of the world of print. You have to go to the website but there are some people on there that are so knowledgeable it is scary! Never had a problem getting an answer to what I need.
We have looked at no other software.
No such thing exists
Yes
It was fixed in the next version of the software.
I once asked how to do something in the software, the technical support member ended up doing the job for me. Outstanding!
