Adobe Solution

Continued reliance upon paper-based business processes is holding your organization back from addressing difficulties like ensuring customer satisfaction by providing responsive, efficient service; and ensuring compliance with government regulations. Surprisingly paper-based forms are quite expensive, as it involves labor costs from redundant manual entry of data and time spent fixing human errors. Storage costs also rapidly accumulate, especially given that forms quickly become obsolete. According to a study conducted by GISTICS, a UK-based analyst firm with expertise in digital asset management, a paper-based form costs the typical global enterprise US$75,000 per year in labor and materials – and most companies use 400 forms or more.

eXtendCode can automate these manual processes using Adobe Interactive Forms, which look similar to the paper forms. The advantages are huge; it saves cost by removing manual data entries into system, reducing manual errors and storage costs. The solution provides an edge that it can be downloaded and used in offline (disconnected from company’s network) mode. For example, sales agent can interact with 10 customers and enter that information while disconnected from company network and when he becomes connected, he can upload the information by sending an email or direct submission to backend application Workflows

Adobe forms can also be integrated with workflows. For example, if an employee has entered vacation request form, it can be used to trigger an approval workflow automatically.

Information Security
The information on the form can be disabled (read-only) or hidden depending upon the user authorization. The same form when moves between different users in a workflow, can be shown with different information.

The functions like Print, Content Copy, Commenting, and Digital Signature can be enabled or disabled as required.

The information on the Adobe Forms can be digitally signed to provide authenticity. At the same time, it can be encrypted to provide confidentiality.
