What we do

Working with leading authors, we build bespoke automated data capture and business process management solutions based on solid, well-supported products to help you optimise operations, improve productivity, accelerate growth, and meet regulatory requirements. Our process automation solutions include:

Business process management

From simple ad-hoc departmental workflows to full enterprise business process management, we bring order to complex processes.

At ePC, we spend time with you to understand what problems you are trying to solve, what the current “As Is” process is and what your “Future” desired state looks like.

Once we have mapped out your process(es), business process management software (BPMS) is used to implement your perfect solution.

Electronic forms

Our eForms platform enables you to build rich, dynamic and secure electronic forms that work and behave in an intuitive way.

Platform features include real-time data validation, user authentication, automated notifications, workflow automation, dashboard reports, audit trails for regulatory compliance, and much more.

Whether you need to migrate from paper to an electronic form or want to get online as quickly as possible, we can build a bespoke eForm to meet your needs.

Workflow automation

Although simple data capture processes may consist of electronic forms with data exports, it is often necessary to pass form data from one participant to another for authorisation, review or other action.

Our low-code BPMS platforms include point-and-click workflow engines to graphically model and execute your business process(es).

This allows you to automate your organisation - reducing the load on your users while adhering to corporate policies and compliance regulations.

Our automated data capture solutions reduce manual data entry by 90% or more with human intervention minimised to a few keystrokes.

            The implementation has been a smooth process. ePC have been really helpful throughout the project. They were able to offer advice when designing / planning the eCRF and help us iron out challenges before they became major issues. Their advice has really helped us focus on what data we needed to collect in order to meet trial objectives and regulatory requirements. I highly recommend them to other CTU’s seeking to implement an eForms system.

            Teleform/ePC have been the lynchpin of data collection in our home diagnostic clinical trials for many years. As a small team, the software has given us cost-effective and flexible control to manage a diverse range of paper-based trials using a fully-featured form designer with support for downstream verification workflows all the way to export, while ePC have been instrumental in managing and maintaining the service availability with a high standard of professionalism and technical capability

            Designing, processing and analysing thousands of questionnaires a year requires an effective and efficient data capture system. TeleForm, provided by ePC, has been the central hub to this system for many years - we could not function without it.

          • stars

            ePC understood what we wanted. On a number of occasions, we described roughly what we would like in terms of capability but not in any great detail. They captured the simplicity of what was required without compromising on functionality.

          • stars

            We were mindful of the CapEx – and product creation – systems ePC had implemented and aware they worked well. In the end, the system had a lot of ticks against it and we did not see the value of going to another supplier when ePC had a box of tricks that worked well for us.

                Location: Lightwater, Surrey   Term: Permanent

                Job description

                We are looking for a software engineer, to assist our small team of skilled technical consultants and developers. We develop high-value, automated forms processing and workflow software based upon a combination of off-the-shelf products and bespoke components. This means opportunities will exists for both scripting and customisation of existing software and from-scratch development of new products.

                The position will provide support from experienced staff as needed, a relaxed and enjoyable working environment with potential to expand into all aspects of development, project management, technical consultation and product management.

                The current team have varied responsibilities, so in addition the role could also include aspects of support, web design and maintenance, pre-sales prototypes, client facing meetings, training or installations. It really is a great opportunity for a varied role, with opportunities to specialise in any areas mentioned.

                Desired skills and experience

                In our day-to-day work, we develop, integrate and support both traditional and web applications using a variety of technologies including:

                • C#, VB, .NET and Blazor
                • SQL Server
                • Windows and IIS
                • JavaScript, HTML and CSS

                While advanced skills in all the above are not necessary, a good understanding of most is advantageous. Certainly, the ability to hit the ground running with .NET development and a positive can-do attitude to new challenges is essential, as is some good experience in developing software within a business environment.

                About ePartner Consulting

                ePartner Consulting Ltd (abbreviated to ePC) support organisations to replace manual, paper-driven tasks with data capture, workflow automation, and document scanning solutions that reduce manual data entry and automate critical tasks such as:

                • Capital expenditure approval
                • Paper based exams
                • Clinical trials
                • Timesheet processing
                • And many more

                Whether processing up to 2.25 million ‘pen and paper’ IELTS tests each year for Civica/British Council or delivering an EDC system to help York Teaching Hospital detect colorectal cancer, our track record and expertise, combined with our strong solutions focus, means that the chances are, we've already come up with the solution to your needs for another client elsewhere. This enables us to reduce your costs and implementation risks - and means we know we can keep our promises.

                Professional services

                We provide an end-to-end service; from pre-project advice and product demonstrations, through to an on-going partnership once implementation is complete. If you want one account team to manage everything relating to your solution, so that you have only one point of contact, we can deliver. This truly rare mix allows our clients to get a superior service at good value.

                We have been profitable since our formation because of our consultancy led approach. Our focus is on delivering enduring and scalable solutions and nurturing long term relationships rather than simply selling boxed software.
