The push towards digital transformation
Report author and Information Security Analyst, Thom Langford, notes that the pandemic has changed how business gets done in all sectors. Companies that have shifted their internal processes and customer experiences to digital platforms have seen measurable improvements in attaining their business goals, compared to those that are not as agile.
There are many ways to begin your digital transformation, but enabling end-to-end digital workflows is a good first step — especially when you consider that only 39% of workers feel their document workflows are somewhat up-to-date at best.
Benefits and challenges of adopting digital document workflows
Cost savings and improved employee efficiency are clear benefits of making PDF and eSigning tools available more broadly within your organization. According to our research, 55% of workers said better document productivity technology would save them time, and 51% said it would make their jobs easier. Additionally, the significant reduction of operational printing costs will boost your bottom line and sustainability efforts.
On the other side, there are some challenges with digitization. These are two-fold, adopt and deploy the new software first, and then ensure everyone in the enterprise is trained and capable of using it effectively. Part of the task includes educating teams already accustomed to existing workflows. See how dedicated change management support can help in the full GigaOm report.
Converting from paper-based processes to streamlined digital workflows is not just a two–dimensional “lift and shift” technology problem. The solution interface must be intuitive, the workflow natural and apparent, and the application superior to the legacy processes it will replace.

Delivering end-to-end solutions with the industry leaders
Not all companies are the same, neither are their solutions. The right solution can propel your digital transformation with cost savings and unexplored efficiencies. Use the GigaOm report as a resource for key considerations as you evaluate different technologies. Here’s a breakdown of the three industry-leading PDF productivity and eSignature solutions outlined in the report:
- DocuSign
- Adobe Acrobat DC
- The Nitro Productivity Suite

The Venn diagram in Figure 1 offers a high-level perspective of the capabilities offered by DocuSign, Acrobat DC, and the Nitro Productivity Suite. By understanding where each product’s capabilities intersect, organizations can better determine how these solutions can meet their needs.
Democratizing PDF and eSigning tools across entire teams is critical to success. If the chosen solution is only available to a few team members, it will make the rest of the transformation challenging. As IT departments and project managers know, rolling out new software is rarely straightforward. Crucial factors to consider when enabling digital document workflows are environmental impact, customer success, and whether the solution supports change management with specific programs like a pilot.
It’s also important to know the level of insights available before investing in a digital document solution. With intelligent insights, organizations can set and track benchmarks for feature adoption, monitor deployments and versioning to encourage standardization, and view printer usage to identify where digital workflow training could be most impactful. This knowledge provides organizations visibility into the savings generated by reduced printing and proves ROI.
