Federal Government

Providing Better Service to Citizens While Optimizing Processes,
Increasing Transparency and Accountability, and Reducing Costs

At all levels, the Federal Government is working to reduce

paperwork and costs, while increasing transparency, accountability

and analysis. Often these initiatives fall under the term

eGovernment and are mandated by law. With government forms as

the primary conduit for collecting information, the cost of

processing these forms manually is huge—from printing paper

forms to keying completed forms into a database. Additionally,

errors caused by incomplete or incorrect data and transcription

mistakes can result in further incremental costs and frustrating

delays.

Capturing and processing information electronically through e-

forms can reduce costs by as much as 90%.

Formatta’s solution is

a cost-efficient, easy-to-use solution for addressing a variety of

citizen services. E-form use for government translates to virtually
any government-to-citizen (G2C), government-to-business (G2B) and government-to-
government (G2G) process, including applications such as:

Processing Federal funded programs (e.g., grants, unemployment, healthcare
reimbursements)
Enrollment for services (e.g., benefits or loans)
Regulatory compliance and reporting (e.g., environmental reports, e-reporting)
E-Filing (e.g., revenue or court documents)
Law enforcement reporting (e.g., arrest, transfer or release reports)
Permitting and licensing
