What is your Forms Management Automation Fantasy?

 

The Tyranny of Paper Forms

FORMS MANAGEMENT AUTOMATION ISSUES

Imagine being stranded in an organization filled with forms management diversity of all types, from all departments throughout the organization. Electronic forms for travel expenses and paper forms from HR regarding Performance Reviews are all part of your fantasy.

The bottom line is that the ecstasy of so many forms has been somewhat tarnished by the ability to search and report on the data/metadata contained in these forms.

The joy of this issue is enhanced by the guessing game of which repository is the form stored in? Can it be in the SAP database, or is it located in the HRIS system.

Today, the vast majority of business processes in corporations and government organizations are performed manually using paper forms, fax, and electronic forms attached to emails. Larger companies may have legacy BPA/BPM systems in place (e.g., IBM, Appian, Metastorm (OpenText), Oracle, SAP, etc.), but these systems are too expensive to use on anything but the most mission critical business processes. In addition, employees often have to switch from application to application to carry out business processes (e.g., from email to Excel or Word, or to an ERP/CRM module, or to a workflow-based application such as an expense report management tool). All of this is highly inefficient and ineffective, resulting in wasted time and resources, significant unnecessary costs, and poor responsiveness to process participants (both internal and external to the company). Ultimately, this negatively impacts a company’s productivity and bottom line as well as its agility in the marketplace.
