In their own words
FormRouter
FormRouter.NET hosts online forms and collects submissions for organizations to retrieve without programming. Its Simple Form Builder creates HTML forms, and the service supports PDF, HTML5, Excel, ASP, and ASP.NET forms. A PDF viewer converts forms to HTML5 for filling, signing, and submission on PCs, Macs, iPads, iPhones, and Android devices. Accounts include tools for managing forms, alerts, files, and reports; alerts can be triggered when a form is submitted. Responses can be downloaded or sent to destinations such as SharePoint, Access, Excel, SQL Server, OpenOffice Calc, ODBC databases, Salesforce, SugarCRM, text, and XML. FormRouter says submissions are encrypted and routed to its server, where designated users can retrieve aggregated results according to permissions. An optional account upgrade adds secure email alerts using 128-bit encryption. An ASP.NET utility allows forms to be hosted on a customer's server while using FormRouter for data capture. The service also offers form development, training, technical support, and consulting.
