Are you ready to replace outdated paper processes with digital tools that drive efficiency, sustainability, and measurable ROI? Join Nitro and Compnow in a friendly discussion to explore solutions that save costs, conserve resources, and deliver lasting impact.
As businesses of all sizes in all industries prioritize sustainability, digital transformation has become a critical factor for streamlining workflows and reducing waste. A recent chat between Michael Helder, Nitro’s VP of Sales (APAC), and Andrew Charles, CRO of Compnow, discusses how digital transformation is reshaping industries while creating a more sustainable, effective path forward.
The essential role of digital transformation in sustainability
Paper-based workflows are not only inefficient but also environmentally taxing. As we share in our ebook, “Beyond Transformation: Digital Evolution in 3 Simple Steps,” digital transformation goes far beyond merely converting documents to digital formats. It’s about adopting an entire digital ecosystem that reduces waste, improves efficiency, and enables strategic decision-making.
Nitro enables companies to move away from outdated, paper-based processes and start making a real impact on efficiency and environmental goals.
In just one year, Nitro’s digital solutions helped clients significantly accelerate sustainability and ESG goals. Collectively, our two million business customers:
- Saved $870 million in costs
- Protected over 165,000 trees
- Prevented 125 million pounds of CO2 emissions
This shift demonstrates the real, measurable impact of embracing sustainable practices through digital transformation.
Move from transformation to continuous digital evolution
For a business to fully realize the potential of digital transformation, it needs to go beyond a one-time shift. Nitro’s three-step model—Digitize, Analyze, Optimize—provides a blueprint for an evolving approach:
- Digitize: Establishing a fully digital document process cuts down on paper usage, reduces time spent on manual tasks, and enhances data security.
- Analyze: Nitro’s analytics feature allows organizations to track environmental and operational metrics, from cost savings and ROI to CO2 reductions.
- Optimize: The insights gained from data analysis can be applied to refine processes, creating a continuously evolving, efficient, and sustainable digital strategy.
This continuous digital evolution not only addresses short-term productivity needs but also enables long-term scalability and sustainability. As Michael Helder, Nitro’s VP of APAC Sales emphasized, “People need to work with contracts, signed documents—people are working with PDFs every day. It’s crucial that we provide these tool sets.”
JLL Australia is a Fortune 500 financial and professional services firm that chose Nitro to help advance their digital transformation. Leveraging Nitro's Customer Success program, they quickly equipped more than 2,000 employees with intuitive PDF editing tools and achieved high adoption rates.
"Now that we have the right tool, we need to start to change the mindset—moving from printing out paper and writing on it, to digitally marking up documents, digitally signing documents and moving into a digital ecosystem,” said Andrew Clowes, CIO of JLL Australia. “Nitro does that for us and we are excited about the roadmap moving forward."
Break through barriers with strategic change management
Despite the clear benefits to digitization, organizations often face obstacles to achieving smooth digital transformation. Change management is essential, especially if you’re considering switching software providers.
Our guide, “How Nitro Makes Switching PDF Vendors Easy,” identifies Nitro’s strategic change management approach. With our proven four pillars to success, we can simplify the entire transition process for our business customers.
- Smooth onboarding and rollout: Define your business needs and establish goals from the outset so you are equipped with everything you need.
- Ongoing user training: Help your teams quickly gain confidence with new processes and programs by providing robust training and resources.
- White-glove support: A knowledgeable, at-the-ready customer care team is essential for a smooth, seamless transition, especially for any questions or resolving any concerns that may arise during and after deployment.
- Increased adoption and productivity: Once your solutions are in place, you’ll continue to see optimized workflows, maximized productivity, and improved adoption.
This structured and user-friendly approach results in faster adoption and significant time savings, so transformation is not only smooth but successful long-term. It also reduces a business’s reliance on paper and manual processes while enhancing overall productivity quickly. And it works—organizations in Nitro’s Customer Success program report high levels of adoption and a 95+% customer satisfaction rate, crediting our guided implementation and ongoing support.
Practical benefits and ROI of going digital with Nitro
The financial and operational returns of implementing Nitro’s solutions are undeniable. According to a recent Forrester study of Nitro solutions, four customers yielded an average 694% ROI over three years, with a payback period of just six months. This exceptional return underscores the financial benefits of a fully digital workflow while highlighting the operational efficiencies gained.
However, the economic impact isn’t the only reason organizations are embracing Nitro’s solutions. As discussed in the webinar, a lack of accessible digital tools poses a major bottleneck.
Only 1 in 10 employees have access to comprehensive PDF editing or eSigning capabilities on their desktop, limiting efficiency and impeding digital adoption. Without these tools, simple tasks like printing, signing, and scanning documents consume an estimated 15 minutes each—time that could be reduced to 30 seconds with Nitro’s integrated solutions.
Accelerate digital workflows and adoption
Nitro’s suite of tools, including seamless PDF editing and eSigning, simplifies the transition to a digital-first workflow. By providing intuitive and user-friendly solutions, Nitro empowers employees to adopt digital practices effortlessly, fostering productivity and sustainability.
AI also plays a significant role in enhancing the efficiency of Nitro’s tools. These AI-powered features streamline tasks from automated data extraction and analysis to document insights and support. We empower our users to focus on high-priority activities that add value instead of time-consuming administrative work. The use of AI not only saves time but also informs decision-making, creating a self-sustaining cycle of improvement and efficiency.
