There are various ways in which BOCC E-forms can be deployed and the best option depends on your specific circumstances and the type of forms you intend to build.

• BOCC E-forms environment
  Get up and running quickly with immediate access to create forms. Brand them with your own style and images. Optionally your forms could have a particular URL using your own domain assigned.
• BOCC E-forms dedicated server
  Let us host your own e-forms server. Not only will this provide a secure, isolated forms system, but it is also possible to set up development and staging environments.
• Hosting your own BOCC E-forms appliance server
  Are you interested in hosting your own e-forms server with your website or on your own network? If so BOCC can discuss this option with you and help you understand the advantages, disadvantages and requirements.
• Integration with your CMS or website
  E-forms can be integrated with your CMS or existing website. BOCC can advise and assist you in understanding what will be necessary.

BOCC E-forms is generic and robust enough to customise and build forms without any training or support. However, in the event that specific resources or expertise are not available to fully deploy your forms, it is possible to request assistance from BOCC in the following areas:

• CMS integration
  BOCC can provide advice, technical guidance or development, or all 3, to help you integrate e-forms into your existing software
• Graphical design and e-form interface development
  The design and presentation of a form using the e-forms system is highly customisable. If the necessary expertise is not available, or you simply don't want to get involved in the graphical design and/or the implementation of an approved design, BOCC can offer assistance. BOCC has a team of people who can develop and assist with the development and implementation of a graphical design of the forms pages (either in a new style or following the style of existing pages) following industry best practices and standards.
• Accessibility and usability advice
  BOCC can guide you in standards compliance for all your e-form needs to meet defined accessibility and coding standards.
• Administrator and systems training
  The e-forms interface to create forms is simple and easy to use and can easily be mastered through a review of the screens, samples and help text. However, many people prefer formal training when approaching new software. If desired, BOCC can provide technical/administrative documentation plus a variety of training options. The focus of the training sessions can be discussed and developed to suit your specific needs and can range from simple form building to training on how to customise the design for integration into existing websites/web pages. For clients wanting their own appliance server or who want to integrate with an existing CMS, systems setup and configuration training is available.
• Development of custom/bespoke enhancements
  While the e-forms system is a flexible and robust system designed to meet the needs of the most common forms, it is possible that special requirements exist. BOCC can offer assistance in the form of consultancy and/or technical assistance to address the following:
  • Development of specific reporting requirements
  • Creating of PDF versions of reports/forms
  • Export/replication to other databases
  • Integration with existing databases
  • Integration with other systems such as CRMs
  • Liaising with third party developers
  • Alternative administrative interfaces
• Support Contracts
  Online support contracts are available.
