Electronic Forms. How Close to Value-Added Processing

摘要

The number of automated applications developed to support administrative activities continues to grow. While electronic mail and word processing are familiar office automation activities, other areas are under development consideration. One of the newer areas is electronic forms. The features that electronic forms need to employ, the challenges to electronic forms implementation and the integration with organizational data processing strategy are the subject of this paper. The Purpose of this paper is to identify related issues for the reader. An ''electronic form'' is used in this paper to describe a system that captures, edits, routes, processes, tracks, secures and archives data electronically. The term form is used synonomously with electronic form. Paper forms are distinguished as ''paper forms.''. (ERA citation 11:037256)
