Springboard Managed Hosting, the Carolinas leading Data Center and Web hosting company, signed a multi-year contract with FormRouter, an emerging applications software provider (ASP) for electronic forms automation.

FormRouter’s subscription based service enables non-technical staff within companies of all sizes to convert paper-based forms to Internet hosted digital forms in hours, without IT involvement. Once loaded, designated users can collect, download submissions to any application or database, such as Microsoft Access.

By eliminating manual re-keying, the FormRouter solution can reduce costs, increase accuracy and slash the time required to facilitate the routing of forms between individuals filling in forms and the companies who hope to process the forms data.

Under terms of the new agreement, Springboard will provide FormRouter with a roster of dedicated services - fully managed servers, redundant SAN architecture, and constant 24x7 monitoring and management of FormRouter’s online applications by live Level 3 technicians, and the security of a completely redundant online environment.

The FormRouter application technology operates on the Microsoft .Net platform – a set of small building block technologies that can connect to each other as well as other larger applications.

“FormRouter’s practical, simple to use technology has tremendous upside potential in the corporate sector,” said Rich Lee, CEO of Springboard Hosting. “Their state of the art .Net implementation requires a high level of certified Microsoft personnel to maintain, and our dedicated services model allows them to outsource the ownership and maintenance of the hardware.”

According to Chris Pieper, CEO of FormRouter, “The Springboard relationship ensures that our clients can design and publish forms, and download respondents data within a secure, dependable and constantly monitored environment. Outsourcing the hardware and management of the implementation lowered our capital and personnel costs and enabled us to focus resources on the large-scale launch of the .Net platform. Springboard was the best solution to host such an advanced environment.”
