Times are changing my friends…
Sending forms to collect information and signatures is a part of any business. Most are still using the tried and true methods of the past: snail mail, FedEx, UPS…
Recently I was in Phoenix teaching an Adobe Acrobat class for Learn iT! to a group of construction supervisors. I was amazed at the amount of work they had to do to complete their daily jobs. These supervisors were required to gather work hours from their team at the multiple job sites, and get signatures from on-site clients every day. One of the challenges was having to pre-think every job-site visit and print all the forms they might need prior to getting on the road for the day. The forms were already on their servers but there was no easy way to call them up at the job site for signatures.
This company was using email and document signing services prior to discovering Adobe DC.
They were sending forms via email using a service called DocuSign which allowed them to send a link to a customer so they could review and sign a document. There are many such services:
- DocuSign https://www.docusign.com
- eSignLive https://www.signnow.com
- SignNow https://www.signnow.com
- PandaDoc https://www.pandadoc.com
Adobe Document Cloud helped them change how they do business in their ever-changing, dynamic environment.
Now, by using their tablet and smart phone, they can quickly get to the proper PDF, open it, tap a few ‘Sign Here’ buttons and the client is now able to sign off on important documents right on their smart phone and tablets. Adobe DC (Document Cloud) has been a game changer for this company.
