Continued technology evolution
7Evolution of Process the arrival of the
Electronic Form
First, there were
Company processes kept in notebooks
predominantly manual.
- -
Forms that drove process interactions
8The Opportunity
- The forms may have moved online, but the
processes have not. - No one has been able to figure out a way to move
the processes online as easily as they can build
an electronic form. - Manual processes may be tough to monitor and
enforce, however, companies do not need
programmers to change them - The e-form costs may be lower, but the process is
still expensive - Filling out a form still costs companies between
30 and 150 per instance - While the forms market is still 22 billion
annually, the amount spent by business on process
is over 360 billion per year. - The economics are bigger
- Instead of thinking about 0.01 - 0.05 per
instance of a process, think about 1 or 10 per
instance of a process
9Who is using this approach to electronic forms
for their business?
- 14,000 employee, 5 B per year company
- Complex New Customer Setup solution
- Contains 18 separate forms
- Will touch 3,000 employees in multiple
departments, including the president of the
company
Deep, complex application
10Building an eForm Process is Just Like Building a
Form
- Forms and Systems Analysts use the same
methodologies to design forms or to move the
process online The form is the process
Inputs are validated to remove the chance of
errors
Free-form fields are replaced by pre-populated
pull downs
Calculations are completed automatically
