VMP E-Forms
for every industry.
Since 1986 VMP, and its sister company ELF
Solutions, has been producing software components and services to build
E-forms for a wide range of applications. Widely used in insurance, healthcare, general finance, and
industry, VMP technology is a leading supplier of E-forms, both created by
ourselves, and by independent developers.
With numerous
features available, our E-forms technology provides a
no-compromise solutions, for any application.
Ease
of use equals high quality data. Fast.
A central
advantage of VMP technology is the ease of filling in our
Electronic Forms. Ease of use saves
time, prevents confusion, and the high quality of data
produced reduces the subsequent cost of processing the form
through the organisation. Using VMP E-form design software,
numerous features can be incoroporated into a form, to make form-filling painless, including:
 |
VMP
Forms look exactly like their paper form
equivalent on the screen: They are intuitive to
use, even for inexperienced computer users. The
familiarity to existing forms makes it painless
for organisations to replace their old forms. |
 |
Form
open automatically within a web-page, using a
normal web-browser. Forms can be incorporated
within familiar internet/intranet environments.
Forms my also be seamlessly added to existing
software. |
 |
Very
responsive: Forms work very quickly - the user
can move back and forth through multiple pages
instantly with no time lag. |
 |
Pre-population
of forms: Known data an be placed on the form prior
to filling, eliminating unnecessary and
time-consuming re-keying. |
 |
Self-customising:
As the user fills in the form, the form monitors
what the user enters, and only enbles parts
that are relevant. Long, complicated and
confusing forms, are tailored to the individual
user, to become short and simple. |
 |
Help
Features: To guide the user, hints and tips
appear on screen, while more detailed
instructions can be pulled up on request. Only
information the user wants to see is shown,
dramatically reducing the clutter on the form |
 |
Powerful
calculations are performed instantly by the form
saving the user time, and preventing errors.
Examples include household budgets, time sheets,
price quotes, taxes, currency conversions,
production quotas, APR calculations, etc. |
 |
Data
Validation: As the user makes each entry, the
form checks for errors and inconsistencies in
the entries. The designer decides whether
validation happens at the end of a field, page,
or form. |
 |
The
form ensures that the user completes every
relevant field. |
 |
After
completion, the form is stored in a form
database, and email notifications and
confirmation sent to predefined recipients.. |
Distribution:
Flexibility equals reliability.
 |
A
single VMP form can be distributed in every
useful way: It can be printed and filled out by
hand, it can be faxed, sent on a floppy disk or
CD, emailed, put on a company intranet, or
filled out live on an organisation’s website. |
 |
VMP
forms have the flexibility of working on every
medium and so are not dependent on one –
powerful, interactive forms, can be completed
both online and offline. This is a key benefit
of VMP technology, that has become more and more
valued as organisations deal with unreliability of older
internet forms. |
VMP
Form processing: A streamlined business.
Filling in a
form is where other forms technology ends. VMP technology
drives advantages much deeper into the business process.
Features include:
 |
Instant
Processing: On completion of the form, the
form can instantly create a document set
(including images) customised to the user’s
form data. For example, a completed insurance
form can then output a terms and conditions
document tailored to the policy requirements
chosen by the user on the form. |
 |
Workflow:
The form can be an integral part of an
organisations work. A form can expand and new
areas appear as it is to be processed,
department by department, within an
organisation. |
 |
Routing:
The form plots its own route through different
department areas, depending on the entries made
on the form. With our form library component,
forms are stored in a database, and accessed via
the organisation intranet. Forms are moved from
one department inbox to another as it is being
completed. |
 |
Audit
trail. Details about every addition, alteration,
and deletion on the form can be recorded,
allowing for recovery of lost data, and
clarification of any queries. |
 |
Tracking.
The progress of every individual form is centrally
monitored. |
 |
Statistic
Reports: Reports about the day to day progress
of the whole form pool can be produced.
Bottle-necks, inefficiencies, and potential
problems can be identified, and corrected, to
maximise an organisation’s efficiency. |
Security.
|
 |
Form
data is encrypted and can only be viewed by
authorised users. |
 |
Varying
security levels allow different people to have
access to different parts of the form. |
 |
Signature
verification. Providing a signature on a laptop
“mouse pad”, or desktop signature tablet,
forms can be given legally binding signatures. |
Project
Management.
VMP has built
up 18 years of experience of implementing E-Form solutions
for every type of application and in every type of
organisation. We make implementing of E-Forms projects a
simple, and rapid process. The VMP advantage for project
managers:
 |
Manageable
transition from paper to electronic forms: One
group of users can be filling in an VMP forms on
computer, while another group can fill in the
same form on paper. |
 |
Forms
filled in on the internet can be submitted, with
the admin department receiving a form as pure
data, a form on screen, or a form for printing.
With the latter option - an admin department can
deal with submitted forms with no change in the
way they work. |
 |
VMP
forms can be outputted in PDF and TIFF formats, to
be imported into document imaging systems. |
 |
Supports
all barcode formats: Where required paper
version of form can be processed through
existing administration system. |
 |
With
user-friendly I-32 design software, powerful VMP
forms are designed on screen, using simple
menus, drag and drop elements and templates. The
form appears on the designer's screen as it will
appear on the users screen. |
 |
Fully
featured, powerful E-Forms can be quickly
produced with I-32 without the need for any
coding. |
 |
VMP
forms seamlessly integrate onto any core system. |
 |
Not
an IT-centred solution: Right through from form
creation, its functional life and to its
archiving, the product is designed to be handled
in the general office environment with minimal
IT department involvement. |
 |
Future
proof: Easy to change forms, build new forms
using existing templates, merge forms. |
 |
Forms
and data files are tiny – don’t overload or
slow down the network. |
 |
Forms
work independently of network: so network
problems won’t knock out this part of the
business. |
 |
Branding:
the same form can have multiple brand images e.g
as preferred by agents. |
