Business leaders are facing rapid changes and need strategic solutions that enable them to respond and adapt to new circumstances. To remain agile, organizations are considering more flexible alternatives that reduce their operational investment while increasing creativity, collaboration, and productivity.

Here are some of the top customer challenges discussed at the event:

Challenge #1: Adapting to AI-accelerated change

Companies are racing to keep pace with AI advancements while maintaining operational continuity and security. They need AI tools that allow creators and knowledge workers to tackle larger, more complex tasks without being held back by technical hurdles.

"As AI continues to transform the workplace, businesses need flexible, powerful solutions that easily integrate into their existing workflows. Leaders who are looking to future-proof their tech stacks are investing in intuitive, safe, and secure AI tools that empower employees to be both more creative and more productive.”

Challenge #2: Adding business value without adding costs

Doing more with less is a burden felt by leaders at all organizational levels–from CEOs to IT directors to marketing managers. Companies are seeking alternative tools that can accelerate work and collaboration across teams at a more cost-effective price.

"A major concern we hear from businesses is that they are paying too much for bloated software that is difficult to use and scale with their business. Our partnership with Canva gives teams professional-grade design and document capabilities at a fraction of the cost, without the complexity."

Challenge #3: Maintaining flexibility while consolidating tech stacks

In today’s economic climate, business leaders are focused on consolidating their tech stacks with enterprise tools that seamlessly work together to avoid over-reliance on one solution. 

"This partnership with Nitro isn't just about adding features – it's about helping businesses remain flexible so they can scale and innovate quickly," said Rob Giglio, Chief Customer Officer at Canva. "By combining Canva's intuitive design platform with Nitro's enterprise-grade document solutions, we're delivering both powerful functionality and exceptional user experience to meet the needs of today's businesses."

Challenge #4: Driving creativity and productivity without compromising security

Businesses looking for tools that drive efficiency and reduce costs must also ensure their software is backed by enterprise-grade security. Canva and Nitro prioritize security, including SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 compliance, without locking customers into rigid contracts.

"More than ever, business leaders need to thoroughly vet where their data is stored and how software providers use it. Canva and Nitro share an unwavering commitment to our customers’ trust. We provide powerful design and document tools with best-in-class security because leaders shouldn’t have to choose between protecting their business and saving money.”
