Manageability
FormScape eliminates the need for devel-
opers to create custom modifications to get
different applications to exchange data to
meet user’s ever-changing information needs.
FormScape incorporates tools and schemas
to create a business infrastructure for
building, deploying and managing business
and commerce communications. Using
drag-and-drop techniques and conditional
processing, FormScape can revolutionize the
quality of your customer, vendor and man-
agement information. This increases the
efficiency of the supply chain and customer-
centric business processes to accelerate your
business operations, increase productivity
and reduce waste when change is required
to be competitive or coherent across all
business practices.

nology partners, whose skills range from

mation processing requirements. Without

izes the way collaborative information is

flow to internal order fulfillment and
financial documents, FormScape provides
the link between the various report tools
and databases, to create the precise infor-
mation and content for action. FormScape
can rapidly and intelligently incorporate
conditional business logic based upon the

e-commerce categories, including business
purchasing, value chain trading, direct
marketing, selling and customer service
and relationship management.
Integrated Presentation
& Conditioning Tool
Whether you are maintaining or out-
sourcing your business application services
through an ASP, FormScape offers the
ability to dynamically manage and
manipulate the physical and electronic
appearance and presentation of business
information. Developers and users have a
wide range of tools and resources for
mapping data, incorporating dynamic
links, conditional messaging, mathematical
calculations, color, graphics, bar codes and
more using drag-and-drop techniques.
FormScape development is fast and effi-
cient. By reducing the development and
testing timeframe, FormScape accelerates
the implementation process, reducing
time to market and opportunity costs.
FormScape also natively supports XML
transmission, as well as offers integration
with SQL Server Data Transformation
Services to define how data should be
changed dynamically when moving it
between one database to another. This
is supported through XML tags and
declarations that can be implemented
in a fraction of the time taken by code-
based reporting tools. In a co-existent
environment, FormScape helps eliminate
the need to duplicate the creation and
maintenance efforts for all information
exchanges whether in physical document
or electronic data format.
Reduced Pre-printed Stationery Costs
Analysts have demonstrated that for
every $1 spent on pre-printed forms,
up to $60 is spent on their distribution,
handling, replacement, storage,
retrieval and general management.
FormScape significantly reduces these
expenditures and administrative costs
while providing a digital bridge to
enable their electronic creation, delivery
and storage.
Flexible & Automated Information
Delivery
Organizational processes are continually
changing to suit the needs of the busi-
ness, its vendors and customers. Whether
the business communication is internal
or external, FormScape provides a rapid
approach to the delivery of information via
workgroup or production printers, e-mail,
web forms, fax, mobile phone or extended
on-line storage. Data used for one purpose
can also be re-used to automatically create
additional business reports.
Key FeaturesFormScape is designed to encourage the
collaborative creation of business com-
munications to cover a broad range of

FormScape compliments distributed com-
puting environments. With the ability to
communicate with disparate systems,
FormScape can receive and gather multiple
data elements and combine them into one
single source for processing. Static data and
dynamic linked data can be delivered and
presented through device queues, active
and secure file directories and databases,
web pages or e-mail accounts. This
provides a streamlined communications
approach where data can reside and
information can be created and delivered
as required.

FormScape’s Archive provides the capa-
bility to store exact replicas of the
physical processed documents. With
FormScape Viewer, users can search the
archive and retrieve documents to
be viewed, annotated, re-processed via
