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
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)
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
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
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
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
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?
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?
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?
