Cons Of Using Teleform Systems

By Kathy Kaufman


Teleform is a technology developed to assist the companies with multiple data be able to easily capture their information, validate the in formation, and safely store the information. The information that is to be teleformed could be in the form of images, whereby this technology would scan the images, mathematical data could also be transformed, and the most unique one is that this technology could also be able to recognise symbologies of different countries.

It was first made in the year 1991 with the aim that it reads information sent via fax, via paper and other electronic means. Man tends to be more diverse in their technology when they face certain difficulties in their work. This is the same thing that made Hewlett Packard company develop the teleform technology, to make heir work simpler.

The question is, how this system works. The answer is that it works with the help of other technologies. The image scanner, currently known as the Optical Mark Reading (OMR) is one of the helpers device. It digitalises the data fed to it in paper form. It gives a chance for more information to be entered per sheet and is thus a very reliable form of technology.

However, it is not only optical mark recognition that is required by teleform to support its functioning, but also other forms of optical technologies such as the Optical Character Recognition. This technology assists in the interpretation of say letters in paper form. We also have the Intelligent Character Recognition which is almost similar to the former. Finally we have the Bar Code Recognition.

Many functions can be performed by the device. One of them is to do with image scanning. They also gives users the chance to make any corrections on the documents during review before storage. Forms that are used by the machine in reading are also created by teleform. However it comes in most handy in the reading of data presented to it the uses the required database as the storage.

It has advantages attached to it. The customer supplier relationship is enhanced. The reason for this is the efficiency of the system in the reading of information thus no delays. Manual sorting of data can incur very high costs on an individual and thus teleform solves this through its cheap performance. The risks involved with storage, such as damage of documents as well as the business is reduced due to safe storage offered by teleform. Staff productivity is also increased due to more concentration on professionalism and less on time wastage.

Along with advantages come disadvantages too. Some of the disadvantages of teleform is that it renders some people jobless since before the installation of this application, they were the ones that sorted the papers so their job is taken away from them with the emergence of technology. This clearly explains that technology is both good and wicked. Wicked for claiming other peoples jobs.

To sum up, all the elements of teleform that are essential to those who might be interested to install them have been listed. These are the history, functioning, advantages and disadvantages too. Thus the next step is for those who find it most favourable to embrace it and see its great fruits afterwards. It is technology and embracing technology is moving towards the digital world.
