Covered Bridge Software has experience in records storage and retrieval systems, business process reengineering, and the automating of paper based processes.

Benefits of Digital Document Capture

In this day and age of computer technology, more and more companies are turning to digital document capture to enable their businesses to integrate more efficiently with computers and the Internet. Obvious benefits derived from document imaging include:
  • Reduced costs of handling, storing and duplicating paper documents, and in some cases reproducing lost documents.
  • Improved customer service through much shortened delays in locating and copying unstructured documents, otherwise stored in filing cabinets or remote rooms.
  • Increased accessibility of your documents. Scanned documents can be instantly emailed or printed, even accessed by a remote user via the Internet.
  • Improved internal efficiency by reducing the time your employees spend locating documents and files and increasing the time they spend with your customers.

Digital Solutions for your Documents

Imagine sitting at your desk, 8 hours a day and manually inputting field after field of information off of your customers' forms into a data-base. Now realize the potential of Covered Bridge Software to automate this process;  the user fills in the electronic forms (complete with form logic that assists users by checking for data validation and required fields with real-time feedback), the user then submits the form, the form with all the completed user information is then automatically loaded into the data-base in just seconds (without any data-entry errors).  This is the cost-effective solution for handling your forms.

Covered Bridge Software - Electronic Forms & Data Processing Covered Bridge Software can automate, distribute, and manage the forms that drive your business, such as procurement, purchase requisitions, reporting, recording, asset management, and human resources documents. Let us replace your standard paper forms with compliant electronic forms that can be stored, filled-in, and distributed right from your user's desktops.  Whether you manufacture goods or provide services, replacing your paperwork with electronic forms can provide substantial cost savings and increased efficiency throughout your entire business.

Document Management Solutions

A typical document management solution would work as follows - after identifying yourself to the system, clients can perform searches for documents to which they have been granted access by the account administrator at your company. Each document is indexed by criteria that you determine is appropriate. This can include account numbers, social security numbers, text fields, date ranges and more. You can search for documents using these key fields and then view one or more of the resulting hits. Full text searching within documents is another excellent way to find key sections of long documents. Our document viewer is loaded with useful tools for zooming, rotating, printing, faxing and e-mailing of documents directly from the screen.

Covered Bridge Software - Electronic Forms & Data Processing Fifteen-minute trips to the file room are reduced to seconds with just the click of a mouse button. Documents remain safe, secure and immediately accessible when needed. No more document storage costs. Human labor is reduced and a whole host of related expenses go away completely. Potential benefits of electronic documents over paper include reduced costs of storage and printing, but more importantly, more accurate and timely processing of forms and documents, especially those which pass through multiple departments for review, approval, storage, and retrieval.

Online Forms & Document Processing - Worldwide Assurance for Employees of Public Agencies (WAEPA)
    WAEPA Online Forms Covered Bridge Software worked with the Worldwide Assurance for Employees of Public Agencies (WAEPA) to improve the processing and handling of their numerous paper based forms. By providing online forms, WAEPA was able to obtain numerous benefits and improvements in the handling and processing of the forms.

    WAEPA Online Forms WAEPA was formed in 1943 during World War II to provide life insurance coverage for civilian employees of the U.S. Government who were serving overseas. The original name, War Agencies Employees Protective Association, was changed in 1961 to Worldwide Assurance for Employees of Public Agencies.

    Online forms offer the benefit of assisting the user in filling out the forms by:
    • Additional instructions (content specific and instantaneous help)
    • Real-time form validating (checking for valid information, making sure all required fields are completed, questions dependent on one another are completed, and other validation issues, etc.)
    • Providing easy to read completed forms for users and WAEPA employees

    WAEPA Online Forms The use of online forms results in improved efficiency, speed, user impression, minimizing data entry errors, and time savings by reducing back and forth mail correspondence.

    When appropriate, the system would generate and send emails to WAEPA personnel and notify them when action that was required.

    The technologies used were HTML, JavaScript, Cascading Style Sheets, and Perl. Perl was the programming language used to handle the backend processing of these forms.

Online Job Documentation System - University of Maryland, Service Center

    Job Documentation System (University of Maryland - Service Center) The Online Documentation System was a project to convert the manual paper based documentation associated with the computer programs used by the University of Maryland System for administrative operation.

    This documentation consisted of thousands of documents supporting millions of lines of computer coding. The documentation was converted into HTML format, indexed and cross-referenced. A powerful search and retrieve function was built, along with the capability to browse through the documents in a logical and easy way.

    Using this web interface, the various University of Maryland Institutions across the state running this software could easily find and view the required documentation.

    The technologies used were HTML, Unix, Searching and Indexing software, and utilities to convert the documentation into HTML format.

Online Meeting Registration - for many different companies
    Covered Bridge Software has created numerous online meeting and registration forms for different clients. The registration process has been automated by allowing the users to view registration information online, complete the online registration form, enter payment information, and submit the form. The information is then processed, and the registration database is updated with the user information, and email confirmation notice is sent out - all done without support staff intervention.  This is another example of how electronic forms can be used to improve business efficiency.

    Some of these clients that we have built online registration processes for include:


    • White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy Meetings The White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy (WHCCAMP).

      Online registration for upcoming meetings and town hall gatherings.  This application used HTML, JavaScript, Cascading Style Sheets, Cold Fusion programming language, and an Oracle database.
