Abstract
Techniques for allowing multiple organizations to register form templates at a central repository are provided. The form templates are then available for other organizations that require filled-out forms to be processed. Each organization registers a different form template with a cloud service. Later, other organizations upload, to the cloud service, scanned versions of filled-out forms. For each uploaded scan data, the cloud service determines which form template best matches the format of the uploaded scan data. The cloud service extracts certain values from the scan data based on the matching form template. The cloud service stores the extracted values in association with the organization that sent the scan data. The cloud service allows other devices to retrieve the extracted values.
