Automating Forms Processing FormWare by EMC Captiva® is an essential tool for businesses processing large volumes of structured forms, including insurance claims, credit applications, tax forms and any other type of standard business form. Regardless of the source - paper, fax or electronic data streams - FormWare can collect, perfect and export the data from forms to any database, workflow, document and content management system without the need for manual data entry.

FormWare is used by the revenue departments in numerous states to capture and manage the information contained on tax forms in an accurate, timely and cost-effective manner. Once the tax forms have been scanned, FormWare captures the original document, “reads” the data on the form via optical character recognition (OCR) technology, extracts the important data and exports it to the system. The result is a decrease in the costs of processing, storing and retrieving information, and a reduction in cycle time for paper and electronic filing, as well as for remittance processing and funding.

By eliminating hand-keyed data entry, you'll dramatically speed your form processing while increasing data accuracy and reducing the cost of processing business-critical forms.

Out-of-the-Box Functionality, Enterprise-wide Scalability FormWare is a modular solution comprised of various building blocks. The system is 100% scalable and can be deployed at a departmental level and scaled easily to an enterprise-wide solution when processing demands reach hundreds of thousands of images per day.
