  36. Services and Support • We can provide a wide range of services and support to make the implementation of your eDocuments and eForms successful. • To begin the process, we most often address: • Establishing the OBJECTIVES • Building an ACTION plan • Determine PLANNING issues • IMPLEMENTATION issues

  37. Project Objectives typically address HOW to • Deliver higher productivity • Easier for users to transact business • Increased accuracy of information collection, document handling and work flow • Faster response to users • Provide new services to current and potential users • Increase productivity and volume with current staffing • Approximate return on investment (ROI)

  38. Action Plans typically address HOW to • Use electronic documents to speed user responses • Provide electronic interactive capabilities • Use electronic documents to improve services • Provide multi-lingual capabilities without imposing multi-lingual processing requirements • Provide Section 508 access • Provide secure document processing and system operations • Provide Hand-Held wireless access

  39. Action Plans typically address HOW to • Implement quickly • Implement as a stand-alone solution, without disruption of existing systems • Determine feasibility prior to execution • Develop measurable results • Have firm cost of implementation

  40. Planning Issues typically FOCUS on • Number and complexity of documents and forms • Prioritize which forms / documents to do first • Identify workflow issues, business rules • Web browser and/or desktop usage

  41. Planning Issues typically FOCUS on • Number of internal users, public users • Who authors documents or forms, how many? • Cost of maintenance • Establish metrics for ROI and productivity improvements

  42. Implementation Issues most often begin with a FOCUS on • How to present complex user instructions through the field based image view of the form? • How to present user instructions in multiple languages? • How to create, store, maintain, and publish foreign language forms and captured information, i.e. multiple images, multiple data records, multiple databases? What about synchronization?

  43. Implementation Issues most often begin with a FOCUS on • How to transfer/translate answers between languages and forms? • How to deliver 508 compliant access from graphic image-based form (e.g. how does a blind user navigate on an image based form)? • How to deliver a form-image process through a hand-held device with a limited screen size?

  44. Implementation Issuesmost often begin with a FOCUS on • How to assure that only authorized users are allowed to conduct business online? • How to assure that the transactions themselves are authentic and unchanged? • What does it cost for public end users to complete this form online?
