For over 20 years, IAI has worked with its clients to design, create and implement innovative solutions that maximize clients’ Internet-based applications. Many organizations still use paper-based forms as fundamental components of their business processes. Other organizations have automated information systems, but those systems are only used by internal staff. In some cases, organizations that have electronic forms created them using proprietary software. IAI has extensive experience using standards-based architectures to automate and extend business processes to the people that need to use them, internally and externally to the organization. Areas of IAI’s expertise include:

Intelligent Documents (Electronic Forms)

Electronic forms have become highly sophisticated using the technology available today. Most significantly, the ability to extend business processes out to all customers with Internet access enables powerful, flexible eBusiness Solutions. IAI has extensive experience creating solutions using the Portable Document Format (PDF), which is the industry’s foremost standard electronic file format. Using the Adobe LiveCycle ES products, IAI creates intelligent documents, which have field validation, conditional logic, external system dialog, XML generation and PDF creation integrated into a distributed solution. As an Adobe Solution Partner, IAI designs and develops customized solutions, provides training and support, plus licenses the Adobe software.
