Case Study: University of Colorado Denver achieves 87% faster funding request processing with Intellistack

Streamlining Funding Requests with Workflow Automation

The Auraria Library at CU Denver supports CU Denver, Metropolitan State University of Denver, and the Community College of Denver, serving about 42,000 students and 5,000 staff. Faced with slow, paper-based administrative workflows—especially a professional development funding request that often arrived after conferences had passed—Web Services Manager Neena Weng needed a fast, reliable way to eliminate paperwork and speed approvals across campus.

Weng implemented Formstack Forms and Workflows to replace paper processes, building a multi-step approval form in under two days and enabling email notifications and in‑inbox approvals. The solution cut funding request processing time by 87%, scaled to 1,800 forms with 17 integrations, and drove campus-wide adoption—improving accountability, cross-department communication, and user productivity.
