How to bring the Wyoming High School Activities Association's forms submission process into the digital age with a fast and cost-effective online submission system.
Thanks to Nuance's eOmniForm Service, members of the Wyoming High School Activities Association can now submit requests and information in Internet time. The non-profit organization in charge of sports and fine arts for about 75 Wyoming high schools, uses OmniPage Pro and OmniForm in conjunction with the eOmniForm service to publish forms on the association's web site, dramatically cutting the cost and time associated with the traditional "mail in" method. Member schools can now electronically fill out and submit information that traditionally has been filled out by hand and faxed or snail mailed to the office. OmniForm lets the WHSS post applications, request forms and more on the eOmniForm site where members can then electronically fill and submit them within minutes.

"The eOmniForm service is perfect for us," said Ron Erion, Associate Commissioner. "Nuance let us build an electronics forms submission system without any knowledge of HTML or CGI scripting, or having to learn to write code."

How to Reduce the Cost of Creating, Printing, Updating and Storing Forms
The Palm Beach County, Florida School District generates over 1,300 forms, including student evaluations, special education plans, employment applications, purchase requisitions, accounting reports, and food service orders. Creating, updating, printing, stocking and distributing copies of each form was more than a full-time job and required a large portion of a warehouse to store the thousands of copies. Today the warehouse is virtually empty of forms and the district's bank account is richer. Since the district has adopted OmniForm as its standard electronic forms authoring system back in 1998, the organization has saved over $150,000 in forms printing costs alone. 260 paper forms have been converted to electronic format and are available online through the school district electronic forms web site. The District's goal is to convert as many of the total active forms into electronic forms. Over 12,000 teachers and administrators can download and print the forms on a per need basis. OmniForm's AutoFiller lets them fill out the forms electronically. No more obsolete forms. No more piles of unused or outdated forms. OmniForm's database and the ability to import and export information make updating the forms quick and easy. Due to Palm Beach County's diverse population, many forms must be translated into Spanish, Haitian Creole, and Portuguese. OmniForm allows these translations to be instantly available with a click of a mouse.

"There are tremendous advantages of using OmniForm," said Kara Rubinson, Project Manager for the Palm Beach County School District. "Not only does it make everyone's job easier, it saves teachers and administrators valuable time and the district precious funds which can now be put to better use."

How to efficiently and cost-effectively conduct a national healthcare survey
Insurance Broker Robert A. Kelly is new to OmniForm, but not so new that he can't see the clear benefits of the electronic forms conversion application. Kelly assists over 60 clients with their health and welfare benefit plans. The insurance broker first became acquainted with OmniForm when he was involved in a project to conduct an industry specific survey to gather demographic and plan offerings. By using the integrated eOmniForm service, which comes bundled with OmniForm, Kelly created and distributed the survey to about 1,200 people.

While Kelly does not foresee any heavy usage of eOmniForm, he says OmniForm could easily be adapted to other processes performed by his office such as developing forms and materials useful to the marketing process. Kelly appreciates OmniForm's ease of use and finds its tools for creating .exe files for distribution via email and the Web to be a valuable asset.

"OmniForm saved my firm money and time as I was able to create the entire survey form without the help of programmers or other departments," Kelly said. "By eliminating these layers I was able to save the client money, produce the form promptly and receive and tabulate the data quickly and efficiently."
