TRANSCRIPT
Paper Forms. Evolved.
FormFactor
Cut the costs of day-to-day operations, by replacing paper-based forms and
processes, with electronic forms and automated
workflow.
3
- Essential to your business- Little skills required to develop a form - Relatively cheap to produce
But did you know…
“The average organization spends about $20 in labor to file each paper document, approximately $120 in labor searching for each misfiled document, and $220 in re‐creation of a document.” - PricewaterhouseCoopers
Paper-based Forms
“The typical office worker uses more than 10,000 sheets of paper per year, which is about 2 cases of paper per employee. This amounts to $86 USD on average (additional $6 in handling
and distribution).”

Paper Form Landscape
Develop it yourself!
• Increase compliance
• Reduced re-work
• Reduce hardware/software cost
• Integrate into workflow
• Faster processing times
Benefits of your in-house development team creating an eForm:
• Reduce/eliminate paper costs
• Reduce mail room costs
• Cheaper storage (physical vs. digital)
• Faster data capture
• Less delay, fewer data entry errors, no lost information
But wait…
• Development lifecycle:
• Requirements gathering
• Design & development
• QA, UAT, testing
• Release scheduling andserver downtime
Custom form development comes at a cost:
• Cross platform development (mobile, tablet etc.)
• Time & cost of resources
• Resource availability
• Alfresco support & vendor consulting
FormFactor gives you all the benefits of developing your
electronic forms in-house, but with a fraction of the time, cost,
and resources that normally comes with it!
