Question Enterprise Printing Solution (Similar to RedTitan or Paris)


Hi All!
Well i've searched, searched some more and then still not found anything!!! Its a very specific piece of software i'm looking for, so in a way i'm not hopeful, but in another way i'm very optimistic, as i've never not found any open source alternative for a piece of software yet!
Overview:
At work we have various systems that output plain text files, with details and text that need to be 'mail merged' into a letter. These then get sent for printing. Thats the simple example anyway. The current system we use is called RedTitan.
So thats it really, I need a piece of software that takes data from a file and parses it onto a form, ready to be printed.... Sounds so easy.....
I know i could do this using a scripting language etc. However I need a software product that 'non-technical' people can use, as they'll be day to day running the system & designing forms....

As always any help, input, or software sudgestions would be very much appreciate.
^How do you spell sudgest!?!?!?
Thanks in advance all!

Alex
