Viasoft

What Viasoft does

Viasoft is a privately held, small-scale software provider founded in 2011 and headquartered in Suffern, New York. Its sole flagship product, PublicForms™, is a cloud-based SaaS platform that replaces paper and PDF forms with smart online forms, offering auto-check validation, smart routing, electronic signatures, and integrated payment processing. The platform is built on Amazon AWS GovCloud infrastructure and operates within a FedRAMP-authorized datacenter, with compliance posture covering UETA, ESIGN, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS. The product surface extends through modules for Electronic Forms, Search and Retrieval, Workflow Process, and Data and Analytics, supplemented by Managed Services for customization and deployment.

The company's primary customer segment is federal, state, and local government agencies handling citizen-facing forms such as permits, license renewals, and benefit applications, with secondary offerings tailored for schools, businesses, and intermediary agencies. Viasoft monetizes through recurring SaaS subscriptions combined with professional services for form conversion and customization; pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed tiers, and the conversion mechanism is a 'Request a Demo' consultative sales motion. Distribution runs through direct enterprise sales and a formal Partner Program that allows third-party applications and integrators to embed Viasoft's form technology into their own products.

Viasoft operates without disclosed venture funding, acquisitions, or institutional investors, and functions as an independently bootstrapped niche vendor. The company has been operating for over 13 years with a modest headcount of 11-50 employees and serves a domestic U.S. market only. Management team disclosure is limited; the only named executive in the source material is Dave Berger, VP of Business Development.
