Globally, the ability to create document templates in several formats by using a rich syntax is simple and clear to understand.

We mainly use the PDF rendering facility. The combination of the MS Word template and the passing of a JSON data object into a single simple REST API call that returns a PDF document is exactly what we required. 

The ability to embed, and dynamically repeat, templates within each other is a very simple yet extremely powerful tool.

The HTML rendering, in combination with our own AWS SES service, allows a very simple method of producing bespoke emails. 

The storage of templates within the product in a folder structure makes the rendering call simple and also allows for multiple environments to be catered for.

CTO at LeaseAccelerator

Auditability is a huge part of what we do. Part of that is generating an auditable track record that documents any decisions made along the way. All of the audit documents, all of the competitive sourcing documents, such as RFP, lease versus buy, proposals, and in some cases contract documents are generated out of LeaseAccelerator using Docmosis.

The number one thing for us is that the service has to be reliable and fast. When the user clicks a button, they don't see Docmosis, they see LeaseAccelerator. But they want that reply back quickly. That's exactly what we get with Docmosis. We get consistent, timely results. That is first and foremost the biggest value for us from Docmosis.

The transition to LibreOffice was pretty easy after working with Microsoft Office. As a non-tech person, I have been able to contribute to the formatting of our LibreOffice templates which saves the tech staff from getting bogged down doing all the work.

In total, we’ve got 17 templates with one fairly complex document template of at least 40 pages long which has a mixture of images, title pages and tables. By going down the path of using Docmosis with templates it’ll be a lot easier to maintain control and consistency than if it was done through HTML.

Without doubt, the most valuable feature is the ability to operate and work within Microsoft Word, our default word editing program. When the rest of the organization is dealing with templates and Word format, it's nice to be able to use that as the system artifact that goes into generating the end results. We used to get our requirements in Word templates, then we'd have to do the costly conversion to XSLT templates, which was time-consuming and we never got it to look the way the business wanted it according to the Word template.

So the biggest the day-to-day benefits are working through a medium that can be universally used from requirements gathering all the way to a run-time and generating documents.

The main benefit is exactly what it provides -- the ability to use word documents as templates, and therefore they can be edited by non-technical people.

Also, the placeholders with content work out really well with PDFs. The way we were doing this was cumbersome and this solution made all that easier. This was the motivation; it was difficult to update our PDF files. This looked like a much easier process in order make changes to our PDF documents.

The features we found most useful for our application are: 

  • Template based approach
  • Cloud hosted solution
  • Flexibility to update templates
  • Easy rendering of templates. 

Adding new templates is also simple with the cloud based service. Templates are just Microsoft Word documents, so there is no need to learn other templating.

Database Team Lead at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

Compared to the original report-generating software, creation of templates in Docmosis - which can be as simple as a Word document - is the biggest plus for Docmosis. There is flexibility in laying out tables that is akin to UI front-end design.

The PDF output option offered by Docmosis is attractive to our clients since data cannot then readily be changed and manipulated.

It allows us to use MS Word with dynamic data population, which is a huge advantage.  Connecting to a cloud service also is a nice feature

It does a beautiful job of taking Word docs and turning them into PDFs with merged fields. That's really what we use it for.
