New Electronic Forms Solution From Cardiff Software Overcomes Microsoft's Elimination of Java from Windows® XP
Unique XML, Adobe® PDF and Web approach to automated eForms insulates eBusiness and eGovernment investments from browser dependencies
San Diego - 2001-08-02 - Cardiff Software Inc., a leader in XML-based eBusiness automation solutions, today announced that its LiquidOffice eForm Management System, developed as a part of the eForm Alliance formed with Adobe Systems, overcomes deployment barriers raised by Microsoft Corporation's (NASDAQ: MSFT) recent confirmation that the forthcoming Windows XP will not include Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ: SUNW) Java. The Microsoft® decision is in line with a settlement agreement reached with Sun earlier this year regarding Microsoft's use of Java.
The impact of the decision to eliminate Java from Windows XP is significant, especially for organizations interested in implementing eForm applications in support of eBusiness and eGovernment initiatives. This is especially true for public- and citizen-facing electronic forms projects.
For example many U.S. federal government agencies are facing mandated deadlines dictated within the Government Paperwork Elimination Act, the Electronic Signatures In Global And National Commerce Act, and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, which all require eForm technology. Many organizations have been evaluating Java applet-based eForms due to the promise of automatic installation of a required form filling plug-in.
LiquidOffice is a Web-based system that uses XML, HTML and Adobe PDF standards to implement automated electronic forms without the use of form filling plug-ins. "Filler" plug-ins are used by eForm products from other vendors and are typically implemented using Microsoft ActiveX® or Sun Java applet technology.
If organizations select a Java eForm filler product, then they expose their users to significant download and configuration issues. First, the user would need to download, install and configure a Java Virtual Machine. Next, the user would have to download and configure the Java applet filler, and then the desired form. This complex and error-prone process completely eliminates the hope that Java applets would facilitate automatic installation and zero-administration of electronic forms applications.
"It has been evident for over two years that the historical eForm filler architecture was out of step with customer licensing requirements and deployment realities," said Mark Seamans, chief technology officer for Cardiff. "The architecture of LiquidOffice differs significantly from the historical filler approach, and is more related to the Web services approach found in Sun One and Microsoft's .Net initiatives."
LiquidOffice uses XML, HTML and Adobe PDF standards to deliver eForm publishing, routing, approval and data processing services using standard Web browsers - and no filler. By eliminating ActiveX or Java applet-based fillers, LiquidOffice also eliminates per-seat pricing for eForms, which has been another inhibitor to adoption of the pre-Web technologies for public- and citizen-facing forms.
