Anoto Group, the pioneer in Digital Pen & Paper (DPP) technology, has launched the Anoto Forms Solution, a ready-made hardware and software package that will enable the healthcare market to roll out DPP applications more quickly and easily. The bundle is designed to electronically capture and transmit data that has been entered into paper based forms by healthcare workers, dramatically reducing administration time for all staff. The Anoto Forms Solution includes the first ever Anoto branded digital pen, which will be available exclusively as part of the new package.
Anoto has created the Anoto Forms Solution to help its channel partners shorten time to market for DPP applications. Partners will no longer need to develop bespoke solutions for each new application but can supply a pre-integrated, fully functioning package directly to their end-customers.
Anoto Digital Pen and Paper technology automatically stores what a user writes or draws. The pen records what is being written on to a form printed with Anoto special dot pattern. This data is transmitted back to a PC or server via a docking station or a mobile phone without the need to type up notes. It has a successful track record in the healthcare sector for improving staff productivity and reducing costs by making form-based processes more effective, without changing existing working routines or re-training staff.
The Anoto Forms Solution package will be provided to current and new channel partners. It includes five Anoto branded pens, includes five Anoto branded pens, PC docking cradles, all of the necessary software, Anoto dot pattern licences and user guides. The solution is extremely flexible and can be integrated easily into other business support systems such as SAP as well as CRM and ERP applications. Existing forms can be pre-printed or printed on-site, depending on which is most suitable to each healthcare organisation.
The Anoto Forms Solution is available in Europe, USA, Canada, Japan, China, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.
"The launch of the Anoto Forms Solutions is a step towards reinforcing the Anoto brand as experts in the healthcare sector. As it is an 'out-of-the-box' package that requires no development, the Anoto Forms Solution will make DPP technology accessible to a much broader range of users in the healthcare sector than ever before," said Ebba Åsly Fåhraeus, VP Sales Marketing, Anoto Group AB.
