<\/div>\n\u00bbWe first used HybridForms to digitize our acceptance checklists. The speed and professionalism with which icomedias implemented our requirements was outstanding.<\/p>\n
The very good usability of HybridForms in the field was also the initial spark for many other form implementations and has additionally inspired us in other digitization projects.\u00ab<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

<\/div>\n\u00bbWith the HybridForms version of our acceptance checklist, we were able to optimize many processes. Documentation that used to be written on paper on site and later retyped on a PC, can now be captured directly digitally and transferred via REST API to other systems for further processing. Ideally, icomedias also offers an on-premises version of the software that allows us to meet our high data protection requirements.\u00ab<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>
