Disney Travel Products
1996-97 I consulted to Disney Travel Products company,
a division of the Consumer Products
division that oversees all the products that license characters such as Mickey and Minnie
Mouse, Goofy, Winnie the Pooh, etc.
As a startup company, the charter was limited in staffing so we could not have the 10
programmers and 30 data entry people like the Consumer Products division had, it had to be
automated so that just one Administrator could run the entire process.
Adobe was just developing their new forms product based on the Acrobat Reader software.
Licensees from all over the world wanting to license a Disney character would send in a
PDF form with the information and artwork attached.
The system utilized the FormDriver™ technology to read the information
from the form, add it to the database, increment the sequence number by one (1), and then
write that number back into the form and send it back to the Licensee acknowledging receipt
through the CC:Mail program.
It was a landmark acheivement.
City of Los Angeles Budget
The City of Los Angeles commissioned a task group to put the
Budgeting process onto their
intranet, so that each department would no longer fill out a MS Word document and send it to
the Budget Office for compillation and presentation to the Mayor and City Council.
With just 2 interns assigned to the task and working with our team to train them, in just
30 days they were able to put the new form in html online, connect it to the database, obtain
all the department's inputs, and then compile them using Crystal Reports into a Budget Report
that usually would have stacked up to 9 inches in height when printed out.
Saving hundreds of manhours and thousands of sheets of paper by being able to review the
new Budget in PDF format.
United Way of Los Angeles
The United Way of Los Angeles decided to put their
Annual Open Enrollment on their intranet
to streamline the process.
This is a very complex process with literally hundreds of options. In a paper world, it is
a total nightmare, but online, with the ability to display just the questions that pertained
to each individual as they answered the questions and made their choices, it cut down on
confusion and made the process a breeze.
With the front end forms in dynamic html, and the data written into the mandated PDF
document, it was a perfect match.
City of Sedgwick
Sedgwick, Ks is a town of about 1800 people, so having the
finances to have automation for
some of their very labor intensive programs was out of the question.
Utilizing the FormDrivertm technology, we built a Dog & Cat Licensing program
so people could register their pets online as well as simply renew from the previous year.
We also built 3 modules for their swimming pool. This allowed residents to reserve the pool
online, enroll their children in swimming lessons, and obtain Summer Passes for Adults, Kids,
or the entire Family.
These two programs becoming automated reduced the work loads of the City office staff
immensely.
City of Rose Hill
Rose Hill, Ks is a town of about 4500 people, which is large enough to have their own
Public Works department.
Yet even with a budget, existing software programs to perform Work Orders was out of the
question with the lowest priced systems starting at about $15,000.
We were able to put the FormDriver™ technology to use and built a system
in less than 3 weeks that addressed 90% of what they wanted for about a 1/3 of the lowest
priced system they were looking at.
Fla United Methodist Conference
The United Methodist Church Florida Conference is one of
the larger conferences in the U.S.
Each year end, there are 3 reports filed with the Conference HQ as an evaluation for
each Pastor to make sure they continue to be a good fit for that particular church.
With over 750 churches in the Florida Conference, that is a ton of paperwork.
So using the FormDriver™ technology, we were able to put that entire system online
including creating accounts for each church and each pastor.
In the end, they PDF'd each report, put them on a CD and send them to each of the
people doing the evaluations and recommendations saving time, paper, and money.
Trent University
Trent University in Canada utilized the FormDriver™
technology to automate the
students signing up for phone services in their dorm rooms.
With tens of thousands of students, you can only imagine what a nightmare
processing all those applications for telephone service would be.
With the FormDriver™ technology, we were able to put that very complex
system online in less than 4 weeks. It also gave full reporting capabilities
so instead of an army of staff trying to track everything, just 2 people were
able to ensure requests and installations went flawlessly.
Government of Ontario, Canada
The Government of Ontario, Canada wanted to put their hunting and fishing licenses
online to streamline that process.
They turned to the power of the FormDriver™ technology to receive the online form data
from their online PDF documents, put it into the database, and return a "final"
PDF document with the data in a "read-only" format.
Answer Financial Healthcare Brokers
Insurance Brokerage company with 8 insurance companies participating in their
HealthCare line of business in 37 states. FormDriver™ takes the
XML output from the ASP inputs and populates the correct state and carrier with
the web-submitted information for almost 300 pdf forms.
The "primary" programming company's answer was to have a room full of agents, pulling
the data into an asp form, then copying the data from a field in the form and pasting
it into the corresponding pdf. Absurd!
Catholic Healthcare West/Dignity Health
CHW decided that with over 1,500 employees needing to fill out the Annual Conflict of Interest
form, that putting it on-line would be more efficient and less costly than doing it by hand
this year.
Using the FormDriver™ and FormBuilder™ technologies,
We Do That! Technologies (WDTT) was able to build and put this on-line in less than 10 hours.
Employees fill out the Dynamic HTML page, submits data to the database, notifies the
Administrator, populated a PDF form for them to sign and send in, then the Administrator marks
off the list the forms as they get them with the "wet" signature. WDTT then exports the data
for CHW to import into their own monitoring and analysis system.
