Government

Secure E-Forms

Is your government department leading a transformation to e-Government? The average state government uses 40,000 to 100,000 forms to collect and process data. Did you realize that by converting these paper-based processes to secure e-forms a government department could achieve substantial cost savings?

Not only can secure e-forms enable cost savings. They can improve efficiencies, help meet regulatory requirements and increase service levels to constituents and customers.

Together, Entrust and Adobe products provide governments around the world with integrated, secure electronic form solutions to help translate the benefits of e-Government to virtually any government-to-citizen (G2C), government-to-business (G2B), government-to-government (G2G) and internal government process.

Integrated solutions from Entrust and Adobe make it possible to:

• Increase service delivery through secure Web-based data capture
• Simplify government processes with both internal employees and external parties facilitating faster, cheaper and more efficient operations
• Address privacy concerns for employees, businesses and citizens through strong identification of users and protection of sensitive data and secure transactions
• Generate transactions with digital signatures and audit trails
• Address total cost of ownership by deploying a security infrastructure that can be leveraged across multiple applications (Desktop, Web, VPN)
• Accelerate compliance with government regulations on paper reduction (GPEA, etc.) and privacy (HIPAA, etc.)

Increased awareness of security and privacy issues is resulting in national and international legislation on privacy and digital signatures, as well as industry-specific regulations for selected broad verticals. Examples of such legislation in the United States alone include the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) Financial Services Act, and the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA).
