Paperless Collaboration
IBM’s new Lotus Forms, 3. 5, is taking aim at your office laggard: the paper-based standardized form. Designed so even the least technical of employees can create and circulate electronic forms through the organization, IBM calculates that the software can annually save weeks of productivity otherwise consumed by creating forms, entering data and correcting transcription mistakes.

Designed so even the least technical of employees can create and circulate electronic forms through the organization, IBM calculates that the software can annually save weeks of productivity otherwise consumed by creating forms, entering data and correcting transcription mistakes.
The software includes templates of the HR stalwarts, such as standardized tax, insurance, medical and vacation request forms, but is adaptable enough for customer surveys, order forms and project management tasks. It also helps workers enter, maintain, and search data throughout the Web-based forms. For product designers and engineers, data-intensive collaboration across the entire team is invaluable, even if the team is scattered across different states, countries or continents.

Sorry, Dunder-Mifflin.
