Many businesses still use paper forms, PDFs, spreadsheets, or documents to collect information. These approaches can become difficult to manage when information needs to be processed by multiple people.

Problems With Paper Forms

  • Manual data entry
  • Storage problems
  • Difficult searching
  • Lost documents
  • Slow approvals

What About PDF Forms?

PDF forms are easier to share than paper documents but can still create workflow problems when completed documents need to be emailed and manually entered into another system.

Advantages of Digital Forms

  • Required fields
  • Validation
  • Online submissions
  • Centralized responses
  • Workflow automation
  • Approval processes
