Overview

Governments are under immense pressure to do more with less - to increase accountability & responsiveness while reducing cost. And with an increasingly distributed workforce and global partners, these challenges are even greater. Forms and contract-based processes help mitigate risk and provide control over mission critical operations. Unfortunately, most forms today are still executed on paper which is costly, causes delays and impedes productivity. But with the right technology and a phased-approach, government organizations can successfully make the transformation into paperless enterprises.

In this free Webcast, Silanis & EIM will share how governments can leverage electronic signature, e-forms and content management capability to eliminate paper from their organizations. The presentation covers:

  • E-Signature adoption trends in government
  • Infrastructure requirements - dealing with legacy & silo systems
  • Implementation options and choosing the right solution
  • Common e-signature project challenges
  • How to calculate ROI

Following this overview, attendees hear first hand how the US Army has successfully implemented e-signatures and e-forms across the enterprise.

Featured Case Study

The US Army's Publication Content Management System (APCMS) is the single largest deployment of electronic forms & e-signatures, involving more than 1.6 million users and 2500 forms. Since the implementation began more than 3 years ago, the project has successfully met the initial goals of cost avoidance and productivity including:

  • $28M saved per year from evaluation report process
  • 2 hour reduction in processing time per evaluation report
  • $10M in annual data entry cost slashed
  • Reports completed across mutiple countries in less than 1 hour
  • High end-user adoption and satisfaction
