'Web Forms' Project Completed

The project developed and published instructions for converting paper forms to web forms. The departments and staff divisions were also supported in their conversion of 12 paper forms. Specifically, at least 1 form was converted in each department.

The main focus for BfD was the transfer of know-how to the individual departments. Employees in the departments and staff divisions are now able to develop and implement web forms independently. A new category has also been introduced. A distinction is now made between web forms and paper forms.

Benefits of the project

• In addition to saving time when filling out the form, the main benefit of the project is increased user satisfaction: many people simply want to work digitally, and only digital allows them to work remotely in a meaningful way.
• This also saves JLU Giessen kilos of paper and kilometers of transport.
• It is also important to note that, according to Dr. Steffen Puhl, point of contact for digital accessibility and inclusion in IT, the use of a web form is much more accessible than any paper form.

Next steps

The results obtained are now being used in day-to-day business by the departments and staff divisions. Every paper form that is converted is a further step in digital transformation and increases user satisfaction. If required, BfD is available to provide support at any time.
