In today's digital landscape, organizations need document management systems that can grow and adapt with their changing needs. Whether you're a startup looking to establish your first document management workflow or an enterprise seeking a comprehensive content management solution, FormKiQ now offers four distinct tiers designed to match your organization's current needs while providing clear paths for future growth.
Understanding FormKiQ's Tiered Approach
At FormKiQ, we recognize that every organization has unique document management requirements that may evolve over time. Our tiered approach ensures you can choose the perfect fit for your needs – whether that means starting with our Core offering and scaling up as you grow, or finding your ideal tier and staying there for the long term. Each tier is designed to be a complete solution that can serve as either a stepping stone or a permanent home for your document management needs.
FormKiQ Core: The Open Source Foundation
Our journey begins with FormKiQ Core, a robust, free, and open-source document management system that deploys directly to your AWS account. Core includes essential features that many organizations need to get started:
-
Intelligent document processing
with multi-tenant support
-
Full-text search capabilities
for comprehensive document discovery
-
Complete API access
with full source code
-
Document classification
and validation schemas
-
OCR functionality
using Tesseract
The best part? Core is 100% open source and community-driven, giving you full freedom to use, customize, and distribute as needed. While AWS usage charges may apply, the platform itself is free and always will be.
FormKiQ Explore: A No-Expiry Demo
For organizations looking to explore FormKiQ's capabilities without a time limit, we offer FormKiQ Explore. This no-expiry demo provides a full-featured version of FormKiQ Essentials, allowing you to test and evaluate the platform at your own pace. With FormKiQ Explore, you can:
-
Explore FormKiQ's features and capabilities
-
Set up FormKiQ Orchestration for document workflows, classification schemas, and intelligent document processing
-
Try out the FormKiQ API
-
Build a prototype
to test FormKiQ's suitability for your organization and to make business cases for stakeholders and end users
FormKiQ Explore is the perfect way to get hands-on experience with FormKiQ's capabilities and see how it can transform your document management workflows. When you're ready to move beyond the demo, you can seamlessly transition to one of our paid tiers for additional features and support, or, if those additional features aren't needed, you can set up FormKiQ Core in your own AWS cloud account to remove all limit to the number of documents, storage, and Tessaract OCR processing.
FormKiQ Essentials: Professional Support and Enhanced Security
