Jotform Users from the Education Industry

We see a trend of staff adopting Jotform. More and more staff are using the templates and forms for their classes and events, and we’re looking forward to using Jotform more extensively.

Program Manager and Team Lead, Hogeschool van Amsterdam

Previously, to make one little change in a form would take days, weeks, or months. With Jotform it takes literally five minutes and boom, I have a HIPAA-compliant registration form that patients can return to me, and the process moves forward so much quicker. Being able to implement an idea in minutes is super important for entrepreneurs and creatives…and that’s why Jotform is so critical for us.

Dr. Michael Salzhauer

Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Miami

Jotform has certainly increased productivity. Everything is electronic. We don’t have to deal with paper, faxes, or even PDFs sent via email. It helped us grow the business because there’s only so much you can grow as a fiscal sponsor if you’re dealing with a paper dump. Jotform provided this one uniform place for all of that.

International Documentary Association

We’re meeting our customers where they are to do bike demos. The offline capability of the Jotform app allows us to have our digital test ride form out on the trail. Since we rolled out Jotform we’ve seen an increase in sales by gathering that customer info through the form, putting it into our CRM, and allowing staff to have accurate follow-ups with their customers.
