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.

In addition to this OMR are other forms of optical technology that work hand in hand with this device so as to make the reading successful. An example s then Optical Character Recognition which is helpful in the reading of documents such as letters that are present din paper form. Similar to this is the Intelligent Character Recognition. The Bar Code Recognition is the last among the four that works with this technology.

This technology has very many different functions. One of the functions is the scanning of images. Another one is that it allows its users to review data that had been collected so that in case of any corrections, the mistakes will be emitted. Teleform also has that capability to create forms that could easily be read by a machine. Its main function is also to read data from the forms submitted to it then store the information in the correct database.

Using this technology comes with some advantages too. One of the advantages is that it improves the customer supplier relationship because of its efficiency in the speed of information transmission. It also proves to be cheaper because sorting documents manually is very expensive. The storage of the papers is also very secure and therefore the risk of damage of one's business is greatly reduced. This technology also increase the productivity of the company's' staff since they will concentrate on professional work rather that time wastage during document sorting.

In most cases advantages have their own disadvantages too. The system is electronic based thus people who were doing the sorting work manually remain jobless if their company decides to apply this technology. Such people would curse technology for claiming their jobs. In this sense, they would consider technology wicked.

Teleform, its history, its functioning, advantages and disadvantages have been explained above. All one needs to do now is to consider the greatness that this technology comes with, and change the way in which their organisation operates. This would simply happen with the change from manual to teleform, which is more of digital.
