Forms processing is more or less basic data entry. Data entry clerks or keyers can enter data into an online database, offline database, or into any desired format in any particular medium.

On 123outsource.net in our BPO and Data Entry categories, you can find many companies who can help you with forms processing for a reasonable price. Most of these companies are located in India or South Africa.

A regular web design company can design online forms for you to collect data from clients. On a directory, new signups will fill out a simple form which will get emailed to an administrative person, who then transfers the information to the database. The information could be directly entered by the client, but due to the amount of errors in formating that a typical client would make, its easier for an admin person to take a few minutes to add the information manually. There are all types of small issues that take place. A client will list two contact names in the same field. The admin person will then divide the names and put them in to separate fields. Another issue is spelling mistakes. Clients signing up on a directory often do not speak English as their native language and will make many spelling mistakes, or use foreign sounding diction. An experienced admin person can quickly clean up these errors in seconds, because they would know what to look for.

Forms processing services are just general data entry work. Regular data entry clerks fill out forms for a living. They might receive a faxed, or email document and transcribe it into a database form with a wide variety of formats.
