“I am extremely impressed with the ingenuity of the enterprises we have been working with and gratified by the enthusiasm that this material is generating,” said Sebastian Holst, Senior Editor of The Gilbane Report.

“New eForms technologies promise to have a profound effect on information collection, integration, and collaboration” said Frank Gilbane, Conference Chair, “With Microsoft, Adobe, and eForms vendors all building more accessible interfaces to XML-based electronic forms, there will be a giant leap in the ability of both large and small enterprises and departments to easily implement forms based business solutions that integrate with other enterprise information systems. Businesses need to learn what these new technologies can do for them.”

The special session, “Electronic Forms & Content Management” will be held Thursday March 25, 3:00 – 5:00pm and be moderated by Bill Trippe , Senior Editor, The Gilbane Report, and author of “ Microsoft, Adobe & XForms to Shake Up Electronic Forms Market ” (Gilbane Report Vol. 11, No 8, October 2003). Speakers include: Chuck Myers , Technology Strategist, Adobe (NasdaqNM:ADBE) ; Micah Dubinko , Chief XML Architect, Cardiff Software; and Amber Kinney , Product Manager, InfoPath, Microsoft (NasdaqNM:MSFT) .

“eForms have a growing role beyond ECM, as they are emerging as the primary interface between people, processes and programs.”, said Bill Trippe, Track Chair, and Moderator. “It is no accident that significant initiatives – Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPPA, and the like – are forms-centric. There is a lot you need to pay attention to here. This session will help you understand the landscape of current capabilities and provide insight into what will be available soon. ”
