The Graduate College of the University of Illinois processes over 4500 requests each year from over 20 categories submitted by over 10000 graduate students. Processing this annual mountain of paperwork is labor-intensive, time-consuming, prone to error and, as all content resides on hardcopy, tedious to search. In an effort to improve performance and reduce costs there was a strong desire to automate this process. The petition forms have a standardized format with a well-established review/approval process which made the system a good candidate for automation using the built-in features of SharePoint 2010 content management and InfoPath 2010 electronic forms. The business process has been redesigned and the petitions were re-drafted as digital InfoPath forms and published to SharePoint libraries. After students complete a petition, they receive an email response and workflows start to route the document to the appropriate departmental library and alert the appropriate department/college staff to begin the review/approval process. Attachments can be added, as needed, to the forms and at any point anyone involved in the review/approval process can check the progress of a particular form by viewing the workflow status page. This straightforward, no-code solution readily generalizes to any number of common paperwork scenarios and provides an easy means for a department business office to truly enter the digital, no paper, age.
