Jetform unveils Web plans with new products, portal

Jetform has unveiled a new four-pronged strategy of products and packaged applications to help speed adoption of Web-enabled forms.

Powering the initiative are the company's newly enhanced electronic forms technologies: InTempo, FormFlow 99 and Web Output Engine, a Web document generator. Jetform's products now also include XML support.

Jetform has also launched a Web application framework that lets companies Web-enable their existing forms.

Also new is a Universal Profile, which populates forms with previously filled-out personal information.

Jetform is also building a "portal" through which users can access thousands of electronic forms, classified by category and keyword, which can be filled out online or downloaded and printed for written response.

With the new Web focus JetForm is targeting four major customer segments, according to Jetform president and CEO John Kelly: Global 2000 companies, government entities, small-to-medium size enterprises and online businesses.

The new Web initiatives "combine our core competencies in automating business processes with the tremendous opportunity and compelling characteristics of the Internet platform," said Kelly.

The new products and applications are expected to be available within ninety days.
