Save time - Manual data entry on preprinted forms can be a very time consuming and frustrating experience. Typewriters are a thing of the past, and electronic form technology is the future.
Preprinted forms are very expensive.
Some corporations spend thousands of dollars every year purchasing preprinted forms. Now companies have the option to stop purchasing pre-printed forms and purchase a software package that prints unlimited number of forms. Going by this rule, businesses could easily end up purchasing 5,000 copies of each form. Probably all over the office. With electronic forms, you only print what you need.
