Business Situation

The university has many development offices spread across the globe, and handles over 100,000 transactions each year. Processing transactions on paper and by mail could take a week or more, and was prone to error. The OAS chose frevvo forms to streamline development office processes and integrate with their existing document management system – DocuWare.

Solution Summary

The university's OAS has used frevvo for many years, and has implemented a variety of forms to modernize their processes. One example, a donor communication update form, is available to users on the OAS intranet.

frevvo's Active Directory integration secures and protects the ability to update donor information. Form submissions are automatically emailed to their service desk system and update the donor database. The donor's record is updated instantly, and any future communications honor their requests. This easy and reliable process helps maintain strong donor relationships. Form submissions and the resulting documents are automatically saved to DocuWare, making them easy to index and search.

Key Features

  • Documents are automatically stored in DocuWare.
  • OAS has been able to easily and quickly convert paper processes to digital workflows using frevvo's drag-and-drop designers.
  • Active Directory integration provides user management and login via existing credentials for enhanced security and ease of use.

Benefits

  • Digital processes ensure data is easy to track and documents are consistently filed.
  • frevvo forms are faster and more efficient than paper for processing hundreds of daily transactions.
  • Integration connects forms to back-end systems seamlessly.

The University plans to update their non-competitive order and supplier onboarding processes with workflows in the near future. They know frevvo workflows will improve employee efficiency by using streamlined automation and integration to simplify administrative processes.

For the OAS, implementing frevvo forms has resulted in swift processing time and a unified way of storing records. The OAS receives regular requests to automate processes for the development offices they support. Using frevvo's software and integration tools to connect to their databases and document management system is key to rapidly implementing user-friendly digital workflows for their customers.
