How does COV Apps help our customers?

The EWP and PAW forms, like other forms, are often a paper process routed by email or by hand. Within COV Apps, these forms will now have automated workflow, notifications to facilitate the processing of forms and real-time visibility into where forms are in the process.

Telework form - VITA has embarked on a project to centralize and automate forms used by all executive branches. The first form to be converted in this initiative is a collaboration with the Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM) to automate the state employee telework form. The telework form is used by classified employees subject to the state telework policy.

The overall automated forms initiative will:

• Standardize key business functions across the Commonwealth
• Provide valuable data for metrics that can be analyzed in real time
• Save agencies time spent creating and maintaining their own forms and processes
• Provides visibility throughout the process

This digital solution will be available for use by all executive branch agencies and aims to create efficiency and cost savings. DHRM has provided interim guidance on the COV Application- Telework Agreement
