Adobe Acrobat Sign makes e-signature migration easy

As remote and hybrid workplaces become the norm, businesses have accelerated digitization efforts. E-signature solutions such as Adobe Acrobat Sign are the lynchpin for fully digitized workflows, incorporating approvals and compliance into digital documents that can be signed anywhere.

Even as staff return to offices, the benefits of e-signatures are here to stay. According to The Total Economic Impact of Adobe Acrobat Sign, a case study conducted by Forrester Consulting, organizations across industries are saving time, money, and labor — reporting 519 percent ROI and 30 percent faster transactions with Adobe Acrobat Sign.

While there is strong competition in the e-signature market, more organizations are choosing Adobe Acrobat Sign as a leader in digital experiences for managing document workflows. Increasingly, organizations are migrating from competing e-signature solutions to Acrobat Sign.

However, making the decision to migrate isn't always easy. Even with the promise of lower costs, high ROI, and premium features, the idea of needing to rebuild templates and workflows from scratch often feels like far too much time and effort. But what if Adobe could take that pain point away? With Adobe Acrobat Sign, even the most seemingly complicated migrations might be far easier than you think.

Migration made simple

Whether migrating from an existing e-signature solution or starting from scratch, organizations can set up Acrobat Sign quickly and easily. According to Marc Wuergler, head of IT application management at leading healthcare provider Galenica, the process was so simple that they handled the implementation by themselves. “Acrobat Sign was a quick win for us. The platform was immediately available. Getting it up and running was so easy that we didn't even need Adobe Professional Services."

But for organizations that do want extra assurance and support, Adobe Professional Services handles all the heavy lifting so that staff can focus on getting their own work done. Adobe Professional Services worked closely with one of the world’s largest consumers goods companies on a major migration from DocuSign to Acrobat Sign. In just one month, Professional Services migrated 13,000 templates and 85,000 users. Adobe experts also partnered with the team for enablement, including training and ongoing change management.

It was the simplicity and Adobe support that won over the legal team at restaurant business Agapes Restauration. According to a Philippe Vanuxem, IT project manager at Agapes Restauration, “We made the choice for Acrobat Sign over DocuSign on the basis of price and support. For any technical issues, we can turn to experts at Adobe, who are always responsive and take the time to answer any questions.” With Adobe on hand to solve problems, offer best practices, and convert workflows, organizations don’t need to worry about the pain of migration. They can trust in Adobe to get e-signatures up and running in a snap.

High functionality, low cost with Acrobat Sign

After the move to Acrobat Sign, organizations see huge benefits compared to their previous solutions. For some organizations, such as consumer goods company Reckitt, the ease of use is one of the biggest benefits. According to one spokesperson, “Migration from our existing solution to Acrobat Sign was quick and simple, and beyond that, general feedback is that Acrobat Sign is simple to use.” Simplicity means that organizations can train thousands of users with ease, leading to wider adoption and greater productivity gains for teams across the company.

Other organizations are most interested by the cost savings gained with Acrobat Sign. With its competitive pricing plans, organizations get premium features without premium fees. Richard Hamilton-Price, senior applications manager at construction group Galliford-Try, was very pleased with the results of migration, saying, “Adobe Acrobat Sign has a great user interface and was less expensive than DocuSign, plus was easy to deploy and use.”

Security and compliance are large considerations for many companies. Acrobat Sign is used broadly across business verticals and geographies, including those with heightened regulations relating to privacy, security, and auditability. “Acrobat Sign was a perfect match for our business requirements for security and ease of use,” says François Houdeau, IT delivery manager, BMW Group France.

But for the majority of organizations, the primary reason for migrating to Acrobat Sign comes from functionality. A German advertising agency has plans to take advantage of many Acrobat Sign features, including user groups, recipient groups, and customizable branding. But it was out-of-the-box integrations, available for no extra fees, in Acrobat Sign that won the company over. “For us, integration with Microsoft Teams and Salesforce was important,” says one spokesperson. “Adobe Acrobat Sign offers us both.”

Many other customers agree, including Daniel Battaia, senior digital project manager at manufacturer Saint-Gobain, stating, “I am convinced that the ease with which it integrates with other solutions is one of Acrobat Sign’s great strengths.” By taking advantage of the free integrations, companies can streamline digital workflows by allowing staff to work with e-signatures from within their most-used apps instead of switching back and forth.

Digital workflows for modern businesses

With cost-effective licensing, easy integrations, and faster time to value, it’s no wonder why organizations are making the switch to Adobe Acrobat Sign. Adobe is making the migration experience as seamless as possible, so that organizations worldwide no longer need to worry about disruptions to their daily operations. Instead, they can focus on growing their business in the era of digital documentation and workflows.
