What is PerfectForms?


The PerfectForms Platform

PerfectForms is available not just On Demand but also On Premise. Click here to find out more about our unique hybrid approach.

What it does

PerfectForms does a lot of things. This is simultaneously a blessing and a curse. Here are a few bullet points but if you really want to get a clear picture, watch the videos further down.

  • It is a Web Application Builder.
  • It is an Online Database unlike any other.
  • For easy tasks, it is easy to use.
  • It has to die for Reporting capabilites (drill-down dashboards, applications front-ends and more)
  • For highly complex tasks, it is packed with advanced functionality (and is more demanding).
  • You have 100% control over the look and feel of your applications and forms. Take a look at some examples.
  • It has a unique integration capability that removes all the complexities for an application and form builder. Go here to see more on this.
  • Build applications that have one-to-many relationships between forms.
  • You do NOT need to be programmer, but programmers will find a lot to get excited about and get products to market quicker.
  • Great replacement for "Spreadsheet Abuse" (thanks for this expression Don Larson of MCF Tech)
  • Does a really great job of Workflow and Business Process Management.


Video Overview

To get a complete flavor for PerfectForms, I strongly recommend that you take a look at the following videos. View them sequentially to see an online demonstration or just watch the ones you want. They are all under 5 minutes in length.

1. Example Forms / Applications [4:47] : a quick overview of the sorts of applications and forms you can build. Notice how each form has its own look and feel. PerfectForms gives you pixel-precise drag-and-drop control.

2. In Use at PerfectForms [4:52] : we use it to manage our Development, IT Ticketing and CRM processes as well as various HR and Finance applications.

 

3. The Form Builder [4:56] : see how forms and applications are laid out using the PerfectForms Form Builder.

 

4. Seeing the form running [2:40] : Before we look at form intelligence, we will look at the way this Application runs so we have some context for it.

 

5. Form Behaviors I [4:58] : we now add dynamic form intelligence (Behaviors) to the Form.

 

6. Form Behaviors II [4:14] : we now add the ability to perform a remote database lookup (click here to see more on integration).

 

7. Workflow [3:42] : let's see how PerfectForms can drive Workflow, Notifications, Reminders and Escalations.

 

8. Dashboard [3:42] : Notifications alert people to forms that need their attention. This can be done using email or the PerfectForms Dashboard.

 

9. Reporting [4:45] : before you look at this video, make sure you have watched Video 2. Reporting is a lot more than it sounds like and incorporates application front-end building as well as excellent drill-down features.

 

10. A few more interesting things [4:20] : this shows some useful features such as Data History (auditing field data), Form & Report deployment options, Single Sign On and Permissions.

 

11. Integration: As integration is such a major feature of PerfectForms, go to the Integration section of How It Works.
