How to streamline processes and save costs with Jotform Government

Most government services start with a form. You can make every experience with your agency simple and straightforward by digitizing paper forms.

Online forms are more convenient because they can be filled out anywhere, on any device. They can be prepopulated with existing data and tailored to each individual through conditional logic. They also enable faster, more secure access to data for automating processes, reporting, and other functionality on the backend.

Converting your paper forms to fillable digital forms is easy with Jotform’s Smart PDF forms. Convert forms for applications, registrations, licenses, claims, and more in minutes. Simply upload a PDF of your existing form, drag and drop to map existing fields to online form fields, and create the form flow you wish. Completely customize the look and feel of your form with the intuitive Form Designer, and then you’re ready to publish it and start collecting data.

You can publish your online forms in various ways to ensure the right people have access to them. Embed forms on a website, email forms to specific individuals, or share them with a link or QR code. You can customize form access, assign your forms, or share them with your department colleagues on a shared online workspace to maximize communication and collaboration.

Enhancing communication with Jotform Government, digitalization, and automation

Online forms also improve communication, which can dramatically change outcomes for your constituents. Ayyoub Ajmi, founder of CiviLaw.Tech, transformed a cumbersome and confusing protection order form into a guided experience for survivors of domestic abuse. The result? Filing for protection is quick, responses are easier to read, and processing times are significantly reduced.

As a result of using Jotform’s Smart PDF forms, the courts accept 100 percent of the petitions filed through his system.

The Smart PDF builder is very helpful because the courts need the online petition to look exactly like the print petition. The judges love that they no longer have to read handwritten petitions because they rely on that information to make their decisions. If they can’t decipher the written description of the abuse, the relief may be delayed.

Simplify and save on e-signature collection with Jotform Government

Save costs and time by collecting e-signatures with Jotform Sign, the e-signature automation tool native to Jotform Government. Whether you’re requiring signatures for official forms or submitting policy changes for review and approval, with Jotform Sign, you can route e-signature documents, track their progress, and automatically notify stakeholders throughout the process. You’ll even capture an audit trail for your official records.

Assistant superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools Daniel Mateo made the most of Jotform Sign and Jotform Enterprise by creating a Jotform App to manage staff attendance. Staff request PTO, professional development, or permission to work remotely via a form on the app. The entire workflow is automated.

“It signs their leave card, notifies the person inputting payroll, logs it for us, and creates a calendar entry so administrators can see who will be where and why,” says Mateo. “We have it all automated. It’s super cool.”

Switching from wet signatures to Jotform Sign shortens turnaround times, saves on costly single-service e-signature solution providers, and dramatically reduces the paper-related costs of printing, recycling, disposal, and storage.

Secure payment collection is also a snap with Jotform Government. Choose from more than 30 trusted payment integration options to empower people to make payments when and where it is convenient for them.

Many government agencies are playing catch-up to deliver the convenient online experiences consumers expect as they move through their daily lives. Transforming the customer experience in government is easier than you may think.
