This week at the DEMO Spring 2010 Conference in Silicon Valley, Austin-based Zosh officially launched. Zosh is an iPhone and Ipad application that alleviates the need for a computer or fax to complete a form document or to provide a signature for a form. The application allows for a mobile worker to sign and complete document form information using an iPhone.

One neat aspect of the Zosh application is that it does not require users to change their current workflow processes regarding document handling. As an example, a user is able to access a document from their email via an iPhone. Using Zosh’s application the user is able to sign and fill in information of a critical document. The user is then able to email the document to the correct party.

Currently only PDF’s are able to be returned to a sender with a signature or information, but plans are being made to extend this part of the service. In addition, PDF, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP and TIFF are supported for execution and editing on an iPhone. This is still great because a user is able to edit and sign documents from their iPhone and send later.

The application has been in beta since November 2009 and the developers have refined the user interface by soliciting information from over 5,000 beta testers. The DEMO launch marks its appearance as an application for sale.

Thus far, the application has garnered a reception and is an Apple Store staff favorite and has had press from Gizmodo and Mobile Crunch.

The value of this application is straight forward. It increases productivity by allowing for increased flexibility. One is now able to sign critical documents on the go. It may sound simple, and that’s the point. This application makes life less stressful.

Zosh was created by Josh Kerr and Alexander Bibighaus. More information is available at www.zosh.com.
