Form Center

Form Center is a comprehensive forms management relational database that helps forms managers perform at a high level of efficiency by

· Providing detailed metadata about each form in your population.

Form Center was developed in MS Access which includes

· User-friendly interface for entering data and developing queries and reports

· IT-secured data using SQL Server to maintain data integrity

Some database features include

· Metadata for each form used by the organization, including special form requirements such as signatures, accessibility, languages, and more.

· Notifications when a form action such as a form review or regulatory review is required

· Project tracking with time and task metadata capture to facilitate management reporting

· Relationship tracking between forms or groups of forms

· Deployment tracking for various output media and deployment channels

· Forms-related risk, criticality, and complexity information for management reporting

Essociates Group also provides conversion services to initially populate the database with your existing data and provides ongoing support over time. We encourage you to request a free online demonstration of the database and see for yourself what it can do to help you manage all the forms in your population.
