through an ASP, FormScape offers the

ability to dynamically manage and

manipulate the physical and electronic

appearance and presentation of business

wide range of tools and resources for

mapping data, incorporating dynamic

the implementation process, reducing

time to market and opportunity costs.

FormScape also natively supports XML

transmission, as well as offers integration

with SQL Server Data Transformation

Services to define how data should be

changed dynamically when moving it

between one database to another. This

is supported through XML tags and

declarations that can be implemented

in a fraction of the time taken by code-

based reporting tools. In a co-existent

environment, FormScape helps eliminate

the need to duplicate the creation and

maintenance efforts for all information

exchanges whether in physical document

or electronic data format.

Reduced Pre-printed Stationery Costs

Analysts have demonstrated that for

every $1 spent on pre-printed forms,

up to $60 is spent on their distribution,

handling, replacement, storage,

retrieval and general management.

FormScape significantly reduces these

expenditures and administrative costs

while providing a digital bridge to

enable their electronic creation, delivery

and storage.

Flexible & Automated Information

Organizational processes are continually

changing to suit the needs of the busi-

ness, its vendors and customers. Whether

the business communication is internal

or external, FormScape provides a rapid

approach to the delivery of information via

workgroup or production printers, e-mail,

web forms, fax, mobile phone or extended

on-line storage. Data used for one purpose

can also be re-used to automatically create

additional business reports.

munications to cover a broad range of

bility to store exact replicas of the

physical processed documents. With
