Mahindra Satyam is a leading global information, communications and technology (ICT) company and part of the US $14.4 billion Mahindra Group. Mahindra Satyam developed an Extendable Online Framework based on Orbeon, while architecting the next generation Online architecture for a major Dutch telecom. Orbeon forms are primarily used for capturing the customer inputs in the self-care & self-service parts of the Online channel.

The key features of the framework include:

• Integration with Oracle WebCenter Sites (formerly FatWire) to facilitate business team to edit the contents presented within the forms (including error messages).
• Creation of custom XBL controls to enable customization of HTML template design, markup and functionality embedded within the control.
• Implementation of a step mechanism to enable the creation of wizard type (multi-page) forms.
• Introduction of standard XPL pipeline logic for Webservice integration, PDF generation, Email generation & transmission etc.
• Creation of a re-usable validation framework using XForms bind rules and XSD schema validation.
• Integration of leading web analytics solution within the forms framework.
• Seamless integration of Orbeon applications with portal, using JSR-168 compliant portlet.
• Compliance to the OWASP security standards.

The project team further customized Orbeon’s build script to tailor to the deployment needs of the customer and enabled an automated setup of development environment to aid developers quick-start their work on Orbeon forms (using build scripts that setup Orbeon locally).

Pfizer, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Boston-based Partners HealthCare hospitals partnered to deploy a new form that integrates with the Electronic Health Records (EHR) system used by the Partners HealthCare doctors. The new form is automatically shown to doctors when they discontinue a drug a patient was taking, and collect simple information from doctors on the reasons the drug is discontinued. Drugs are often discontinued because of allergies, in this context called adverse events, which can go from just mere inconvenience to life threatening. The FDA has put in place a system for doctors to report adverse events; unfortunately, the vast majority of adverse events go unreported, as doctors have to fill and mail a paper form to the FDA, which is a missed opportunity to make drugs safer and more effective for patients.

With this new system in place, doctors have reported they submitted many more adverse event reports to the FDA than they used to before. For instance, Dr. Martin P. Solomon said he had submitted only a half dozen reports in 32 years of seeing patients because "the written reports took so long to fill out and send." Since the study began, Dr. Solomon estimates he has filed at least a dozen.

Orbeon, in collaboration with Pfizer and Patners HealthCare, has developed the form to be filled by doctors in XForms, running on Orbeon Forms. The form has been integrated with the Patners HealthCare, receiving data from the EHR, so doctors wouldn't have to re-enter information already known to the EHR, and with the FDA for data captured from doctors to be automatically sent to the FDA.

The National Library of Denmark and the Copenhagen University Library developed a system for the editing and handling of music metadata, based on the the MEI (Music Encoding Initiative) XML schema. The system, which has been named Metadata Editor and Repository for MEI Data (MerMEId), serves as an authoring tool for thematic catalogues, as a database holding work- and source-related information during the preparation of scholarly editions of music, and provides the output for thematic catalogues both online and in print. The system is available online so you can try MerMEId.

The IDB application includes a very sophisticated form called Standard Request for Proposal. The form has number has Based on information captured through this form, a Word document is being generated. The generation uses two pieces of information as input:

• Information provided by users through the form.
• A master template Word document, bundled with the application. The template is a regular Word document, which can be edited with Word following some conventions.

Out of the box, IBD ships everything needed to generate a document called Standard Request for Proposal. This includes a large form of more than 200 fields organized in sections and subsections and its corresponding template document of 180 pages. Both the form and the template document are fully internationalized and available in English and Spanish.

ICTU has developed a number of form-based web sites for different government agencies in the Netherlands. ICTU implemented a number of large scale projects, including TenderNed, an e-procurement platform for the government to contract private companies, but also provided as a public infrastructure that can be used by companies contracting to other companies. ICTU also created Antwoord voor Bedrijven, a site for the Ministry of Economic Affairs, helping companies deal with the complexity of laws, regulations, permits, and taxes.
