Another new business that Cooper brought in-house is forms management. For many years the in-plant simply printed the city's forms in bulk and sent them to a warehouse. To provide the city with a more cost-effective solution, he took over the entire forms distribution operation. Now the in-plant prints many of those forms on demand and delivers them to the departments that need them, along with NCR and numbered forms, which it stocks in its warehouse. It's more complicated for the in-plant this way, he concedes, but providing this service has made the in-plant indispensable to the city. The in-plant has also digitized several of the city's forms, turning them into fillable PDFs that can be accessed online.
