MISSOURI STANDARD FOR ELECTRONIC AND INTERNET FORMS DESIGN

State of Missouri names OneForm Designer Plus as the State's Standard for Electronic and Internet Forms design.

The State of Missouri has issued a single source contract to Amgraf, Inc., Kansas City, Missouri for the acquisition of OneForm Designer Plus software licenses to be used throughout the State for design and development of electronic and Internet business forms. The contract is a result of the state's eGovernment Initiative that designates OneForm Designer Plus as the standard for forms development for the State.

The contract enables all State agencies as well as local governments to acquire the software for use in their forms development and eGovernment initiatives. It includes training and technical support, as well as programming services, which may be needed to develop customized applications.

The Forms Management Division, Office of Administration, has used the software since 1998 to design and develop more than 1200 forms. The Missouri State Highway Patrol has used the software to create an electronic Accident Investigation report form.

OneForm Designer Plus software is a complete development toolkit that provides sophisticated drawing tools, field mapping capabilities, and workflow support. The end result is a form file that can be used to output to plate (for printing), generate an electronic form, or generate a version to be used within a browser on the Internet or on an Intranet. The one file remains at the source for easy revision management. Users of the forms do not need any special software on their PC.

The Missouri Office of State Courts Administrator, in cooperation with the Office of Administration, Division of Purchasing and materials, prepared the contract.
