Flexibility refers to the ease and capacity to distribute, access, and transfer data. For electronic forms, true flexibility requires: (1) free distribution of the form, (2) free access to the form, and (3) the ability to transfer the data to other users as well as into usable tools or applications through open standards like XML, SMTP, HTTP, and other Internet protocols.

A free form filler is the key to flexible electronic form solutions. If your customers have to pay for and then register client software just to fill out a form, then all flexibility is lost. Would you pay $100 to $295 for client software just for the privilege of filling out an application for life insurance?

One Form - Many Users, Many Applications

With Formatta, one form satisfies all your distribution needs. The same form can be downloaded from a website, emailed, posted, printed, or faxed. There is no longer any need to design a version for your employees, and then a separate HTML version to reach your customers and partners.  With Formatta, a single version of a form can be used by everyone. Formatta Filler has built-in support for HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, and MIME, while Formatta Server automates all your form processes.

With Formatta, users can save data locally, export into tools or applications, attach other files, edit fields, encrypt, decrypt, lock sections, post, email, route, and digitally sign forms.

Formatta solutions work the same for your internal and public applications because Formatta Filler 7.0 is freely distributable. Paper forms are free. Formatta believes e-forms should be as well.

Traditional Electronic Form Solutions

Traditional e-form solution providers derive at least 70% of their revenue from the sale of their client application used to fill and submit their e-forms - from $100 to $295 per seat. That means each and every end-user must pay for and register client software in order to fill and submit an electronic form. This prevents originators from distributing e-forms to public customers and the general public - and why other provider's references are predominately 'internal' applications.
