Over 25 years, Formsite’s data capture capability has evolved to allow customers to build online forms and surveys without the need for programming knowledge. With over 10,000 customers, Formsite has grown organically without any external investors, stockholders, or pressure to compromise their mission to provide a world-class online forms and surveys platform.

“We’re incredibly excited about the value this acquisition will deliver to Formsite customers,” said Randy Vroman, CEO of Formsite. “Formstack has built an incredible suite of workflow automation tools that will allow our customers to put their data to work in new and interesting ways. Our customers can expect the same great product experience and responsive customer service they have come to expect from Formsite and will experience complete continuity with no disruption to their current data capture solutions.”

Over the next few months, the teams will be working on deeper integrations between the two offerings and the Formsite team will be stepping into new roles at Formstack.
