TxDOT will also export completed forms, attachments and index values into its existing FileNet application for instant electronic retention and retrieval. In addition to form process automation and integration with TxDOT can significantly reduce data entry costs by transferring data to and from forms and other computer applications, such as those that involve human resources and finance.
Initially, the department will convert its existing internal and external electronically enabled forms into the Cardiff LiquidOffice format and then move them into a central repository, using a drag-and-drop application that combines an intuitive interface with powerful design tools, such as "snap-to" guides and comprehensive field setups.
As existing forms are converted, TxDOT will enable users of external and internal forms to submit official forms online via a standard Web browser. In addition to reducing the time required to process and approve agency forms, the department will also be able to centrally manage the processes with greater efficiency.
