GT eFORMS

GT eForms is a bolt-on electronic forms toolset for PeopleSoft applications. GT eForms provides a flexible framework for developing electronic forms.  Here are several of the benefits GT eForms provides our existing clients:

  • GT eForms dramatically reduces the time and manpower required to process forms from initiation to entry into the system. For example, one client saw a cycle-time reduction from four business days to same-day turnaround.
  • GT eForms automatically routes itself to the appropriate user at the stage of the process where that individual needs to be involved.  Once completed by that user, an eForm routes itself to the next user in the sequence.
  • GT eForms allows business analysts or users to change or alter form appearance, page navigation, workflow participants and emails generated without technical intervention.
  • Gideon Taylor provides our clients with the training, knowledge, and skill to develop their own forms based on the GT eForms solution.  At last count, Wakefern IT and business professionals had developed 10 unique custom GT eForms.
