Pretty much any existing business form within your organisation can be converted to digital pen and paper technology. If any of the following applies to your organisation, then digital pen and paper technology could well provide an effective solution.

• You are incurring high costs from data entering or scanning paper forms
   
• Valuable customer and business data is currently being lost on paper within your organisation
   
• Field staff are struggling to use existing devices, such as laptops, tablets and PDAs, to input critical business information into your enterprise systems
   
• Key business decisions are often based on information that is either incomplete or out of date because much of the information is still on paper
   
• Existing business processes are slow due to their dependency on information and approvals recorded on paper
   
• An ability to immediately process written data would enable you to improve other related processes and provide enhanced service benefits to your customers
   
• You have to capture and verify the signature of key internal or external contacts as part of your business management or sales processes
   
• You are required to keep digital copies of key written documents for auditing purposes
  

Here are just a few examples of real world applications of digital pen and paper technology.

• Market research forms
• Customer survey forms
• Equipment service reports
• Audit forms
• Estimates
• Track and trace logistics forms
• Complaint reports
• Medical forms – such as initial registration of patients
