Your Number One Deal Killer

By Richard Walker | Published 2012/05/09

And why not go the cheap route… forms are easy to build, right? Anyone can do it?!? Sure. Anyone can build a form that causes the customer to despise and curse you. Anyone can design a form that is put in the inbox never to reach the outbox. Anyone can design a form to lose more business than you can measure because you don’t know how many forms are never completed.

By Richard Walker | Published 2011/12/22

The opportunity for financial service companies to achieve STP, and more importantly to reduce errors, speed up transactions, lower costs and deliver great service to customers, is now here. Straight-through-processing is no longer a myth, nor an overpriced, undue burden for anyone.

Declaration Of Independence From Paper Forms

By Richard Walker | Published 2011/08/04

When, in the course of doing our jobs and running our personal lives, it becomes necessary to fill out paper forms, a decent respect for our time, effort and privacy requires that we declare the causes that impel us to separate ourselves from completing paper forms by hand and ink.

The Day Will Come When Paper Goes Away!

By Richard Walker | Published 2011/06/30

Did you know that way back in the 70’s Xerox was developing electronic paper? The idea was to create a paper-like material to electronically display information. Sounds a lot like a Kindle, right? With the advance of iPads and other small devices, today’s technology is just a glimpse into what’s to come and how paper will be replaced.

DocuSign… How Do I Use Thee? Let Me Count The Ways

By Richard Walker | Published 2011/06/23

Imagine how many more ways you could make use of it! E-signing saves time because you can have all the parties sign within the same day or hour via email. E-signature is easier because there is no printing, faxing, mailing, scanning or filing of paper. And e-signed documents are better because all signatures are verified, tracked and monitored so you know who has and has not signed.

Why You Shouldn’t Use E-Signature

By Richard Walker | Published 2011/06/02

If you’ve read any of my previous articles about e-signature then you’d know that I’m a huge fan of e-signing. But being a fan isn’t a sane reason for you to agree with me. Instead, I’ll show you the other side of the argument and the reasons why you shouldn’t use e-signature just yet.

I Love Your Printing Policy

By Richard Walker | Published 2011/05/26

You work hard to capture data and put it into a form or application. Then you print it. What happens next? Who knows. Seriously, you can’t know where your data and paper is once it’s printed. If you hand it off to another person you have no insight as to what’s happening with it. That’s a phenomenal waste of time and leaves you in the dark, plus you have no control over your data.
