The Covid-19 pandemic saw many people setting up workstations at home to work remotely, as the Movement Control Order prevented them from working in the office. Inevitably, companies started adapting to the situation and incorporated cloud and digital solutions to allow work to continue as usual.

Some companies installed process automation systems, which allow remote work as well as increase efficiency and productivity. This also includes digital signature solutions so business owners do not need to worry about physical documents to continue the work process.

Filling this gap is SNS Network, which offers digital solutions to enterprises as an Adobe Gold Reseller by providing a comprehensive and flexible digital solution for better financial management.

Using Adobe Acrobat DC and Document Cloud services, customers can turn content into an electronic document that can be shared with others as well as easily generate, manipulate and transform PDF files from any Adobe cloud service, desktop application and mobile app. This is all available from as low as RM2.10 per day for Adobe Acrobat DC and from RM7 per transaction on Adobe Sign (terms and conditions apply).

Adobe Acrobat DC features file-sharing access with restricted content settings for documents sent in and out of the organisation. It also has a protected mode to protect against malicious code that may attempt to read, write, modify, delete and steal sensitive data and intellectual property via PDF files.

Services include organising, creating, exporting, editing, combining, sending and tracking documents using Adobe Scan and Adobe Sign. The programme supports three types of user-named licensing - Adobe ID, Enterprise ID and Federated ID. Typically, major enterprise organisations use Enterprise or Federated ID by using the company's domain to control both of these entitlements and user-generated content.

According to a study by Forrester, Adobe Acrobat DC's impact is seen three years after adoption. These include paper and hardware cost savings, time savings and user efficiency. On top of that, the use of Adobe Acrobat DC can save up to 967 hours per year, with double the amount of productivity.

Adobe Sign helps organisations replace paper-and-ink signatures and deliver a complete digital experience across all types of signing workflows - from simple signatures to highly compliant qualified electronic signatures in the cloud. With Adobe Sign, users can easily send, sign, track and manage signature processes anywhere and anytime using a browser or mobile device.

On top of that, many organisations are now more environmentally conscious and this software will fit right in with their mission to promote a greener workspace and office culture. Not only will it make organisations more environmentally conscious and reduce paper waste, it can also save on countless hours spent on approvals with ink and paper signatures. Adobe Sign complies with most regional, industry and regulatory standards, including supporting certificate-based digital signatures.

Adobe Sign can securely handle large volumes of documentation without the hazard of performance degradation from managing user identities, multiple method authentication and access control, certifying document integrity, verifying e-signatures, and logging recipient acceptance or acknowledged receipt of documents. The software also enables the maintenance of audit trails.

By integrating their most valued business application and enterprise systems, organisations will enable remote digital signatures backed by digital certificates from trusted service providers. Documents are stored in multiple distributed redundant database clusters with automatic failover and recovery. Documents are also encrypted to protect data while in transit.

Adobe Sign provides turnkey integrations and application programming interfaces (APIs) to allow organisations to incorporate e-signature workflows into enterprise services, system of record and popular cloud productivity solutions such as Microsoft 365.

According to a Forrester study, organisations can achieve 28 times faster time-to-business cycle times with Adobe Sign. This is achieved when organisations move from manual managing documents signature processes to e-signature functionality. It also reduces the use of paper documents, resulting in average cost savings of about RM25 per transaction. On top of that, less time is spent on the signature process, resulting in time savings of up to 125 hours per user.

The remote workforce relies on digital documents, and the features of Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Sign will enable businesses to run their operations faster and smoother, with an added extra layer of security on files with the Protect PDF tool.
