HHSA Fiscal Services has developed and implemented a number of E Forms (electronic forms) using Adobe Acrobat Pro Adobe LiveCycle Designer software. Completion of electronic forms with digital approval is a way to dramatically reduce paper usage and improve the efficiency of processing forms. Electronic forms also allow for users to collect data quickly and efficiently and for that to be extracted and compiled digitally significantly reducing manual labor. Uses for the forms range from approval of purchases, requests to hold or cancel checks, requisition goods and services, general claim forms, non-travel reimbursement requests, and many others. Approvers can use a digital copy of their signature on the form. In all cases there is no need to generate paper copies, the completed forms are delivered immediately and securely to the recipients, and can be forwarded on for additional approvals as needed. Forms are no longer left on fax machines or lost in interoffice mail.
