Receiving and processing various reporting and application filings is an essential business process for many government agencies and other organizations. To increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the report and application filing process, and to provide improved service to their constituents, many of these organizations are looking to various electronic filing (e-filing) solutions.

Vangent has long been a leader in providing innovative, award-winning e-filing solutions for a wide range of programs and organizations. We are acknowledged experts in transforming clients' legacy paper-based report and application filing processes to more efficient, cost-effective e-filing processes. Less labor-intensive than paper-based filing processes, our e-filing solutions reduce unit costs while providing improved service to filers.

Our e-filing solutions begin with our expert e-forms design. We can design an exact online replica of a paper-based form (if required for legal or other reasons), or design an all-new version that is optimized for online delivery. Our e-forms are easy for filers to use, many featuring interactive, "interview" formats that guide filers step-by-step through the form. Automated, built-in data edits alert filers of incomplete or incorrect information, reducing filing errors and the need for follow-on correction processing. More secure than paper filing, our e-filing solutions also provide filers the assurance of immediate (or near-immediate) confirmation that their filing has been received by the processing center.

Fast, efficient, easy-to-use, accurate, and secure: our e-filing solutions deliver reliable performance and proven results.

Features of our e-filing solutions include:

• Expert e-forms design/optimization of forms for online delivery
• Automated data edits to reduce filing errors and correction processing
• Secure transmission and processing of confidential or sensitive information
