Cut-out Storylines...

Predictability---the foundation for eforms success

If you’ve ever had the “pleasure” of being stuck at home for a sick day, you probably noticed most daytime television shows use a basic cut-out style for their programming. Sure, the main characters might differ from one show to the next. But the premise behind each of them is the same: get some really attractive people to sit around in a coffee shop, police station, or hospital and let the drama unfold.

…and let’s not even get started on the court dramas. From Judge Judy to Judge Mathis, immense popularity is backed by very little originality.

One place where such uniformity is welcome, however, is in your business forms. Ideally, they gather information accurately and precisely while demanding as little human intervention as possible. (After all, time is money.) The good news: you can guarantee the results you’re looking for by implementing web-based forms.

The article How to Shape, Manage, and Control Your Business Information: Tips for Using Electronic Forms Effectively explains some of the benefits:

• Form content is standardized, consistent, and complete.
• Content is available and searchable within moments of creation.
• Forms can be accessed, amended, routed, and submitted securely from anywhere, anytime.
• Authorized persons can view, edit, and delete forms and their content.
• Audit trails of content creation, access, and transactional use are always available, allowing quick response to reviews, reporting requirements, litigation, etc.

As the article states, “Purchasing eforms as part of an integrated document and business process management suite lets you control how they are accessed and used throughout the document lifecycle.”

Bottom line:

While ‘formula’ television shows can become tiresome, standardization is extremely important when you consider your eforms strategy. Ensuring your forms are completed correctly and consistently at the right time can streamline your processes, end duplication, reduce errors, and make better use of your resources. In the case of eforms, uniformity is a good thing.
