GoFormOnline is a database-based online PDF form processing system developed by Sharon Technology. It is the only “What You See Is What You Get” online form processing system in the world. With its user-friendly Template Designer, you can easily publish any paper or e-form on the web without programming. The forms on the web are identical in format to the original paper forms and are pre-filled with information available from databases. The user can fill, save, and print a form anytime, and submit it for processing after completion. Business rules are validated interactively. After a form is submitted, the system notifies the assigned people to process the form at each level of the preset work flow. Forms can also be processed in a package.

GoFormOnline can be used as a web development tool to:

• Develop data entry applications

• Develop online registration and application systems such as tax filing and online college applications

• Publish PDF documents

• Replace OCR systems for paperwork elimination

A web-based enterprise software can add GoFormOnline as a component to gain its form processing capabilities.

GoFormOnline does not require any programming. It lowers operating costs, increases workplace efficiency, and saves resources. It is the ultimate solution for paperwork elimination.

  Paper forms are both costly and inefficient.

  • $22.5 billion is spent on pre-printed forms (US) (DMIA Formtrac)

  • 30% of pre-printed forms turn to waste (DMIA Formtrac)

  • A single paper form costs an organization $30 - $165 to use, process and enter (Microsoft® Study)

  Form processing is a big market. The leading products in this market are

  • Adobe® LiveCycle ES

  • IBM Lotus® Forms

  • Microsoft® InfoPath/SharePoint

  However these products are all client/server systems in nature.

  The market has been moving from paper forms to e-forms and from client/server to the internet. The most widespread method of processing forms online at this time is through web applications development, a time consuming and costly undertaking. A significant drawback to these apps is that forms in web applications do not preserve the original form format. On the other hand, GoFormOnline can quickly publish any form in its original form format, and save an organization the cost of web development. The WYSIWYG feature, popular PDF form format, built-in workflow handler and centralized forms management system make GoFormOnline the ideal enterprise solution.

  The government is also a big potential buyer because GoFormOnline offers the perfect solution for the “Government Paperwork Elimination Act”. Enterprises and organizations hoping to lower operating costs and improve workplace efficiency will benefit from the GoFormOnline solution.
