Do you need an effective method to capture and validate end user input, in real time, either from the Web or in stand-alone applications? Are you in an industry that requires an exact match to existing paper forms to meet government or industry regulations? Is there a need to upgrade the end user experience to eliminate input errors so that only validated and required data is collected by your application or service?

IBM Forms provides a secure, dynamic, and intelligent front-end to on demand business processes.IBM Forms software is not just for traditional forms based industries such as insurance, banking, or government, but is applicable wherever accuracy, security, tamper-proof, and auditable end user input is important. It operates across platforms and systems by providing a no-client zero-footprint eForms solution to help you automate paper or regulated forms into stand-alone and Web based applications. With IBM Forms, you are now able to extend applications beyond the firewal with absolute security by creating a single electronic form ready for use in both thick and Web 2.0 thin client formats.
