What’s In Store

As the public sector in North America continues to embrace digital transformation, the persistent use of outdated PDF forms is increasingly becoming a barrier to both operational efficiency and citizen accessibility. These static, legacy forms limit engagement and create significant challenges for individuals relying on assistive technologies. For government agencies, addressing these barriers is key to ensuring that services are accessible, efficient, and meet modern standards. 

Join us for a webinar where we will unpack the importance of PDF remediation and the productive digitization of forms in the public sector. Learn how transforming outdated, inaccessible forms into modern digital solutions can streamline operations, enhance accessibility, and improve public engagement. We’ll explore the practical steps needed to overcome common barriers and dive into real-world examples of successful digital transformation in government services. 

This webinar is essential for public sector leaders and digital transformation teams looking to understand the critical role of form digitisation in driving both operational efficiency and accessibility.
