Digital Pens
Reduces time and cost by capturing information onto your
existing forms, and instantly transfers data using special
digital paper and pen
This solution offers all the benefits of instant communication
using the mobile phone network but, rather than PDA, it uses a
digital pen and digital paper.
Using your existing forms printed onto special digital
paper, the user completes the form using a digital pen. As
the pen writes onto the paper it also captures the information
in digital format and transfers via a wireless Bluetooth link or docking station.
- Reduces time and cost in processing forms by combining the familiarity of pen and paper with the latest technologies
- Automatically populates the fm facts helpdesk system with the relevant data from the digital form
- Authoring and approval information, such as ‘sign off’ signature, is retained and held against the appropriate record. The digital paper form can be retained for filing purposes
- Minimum investment required as there is no need for training. The digital forms can be based on your existing forms meaning minimal impact on current business processes
