User adoption is key to any business software ROI. So, how do you make sure people love your PDF software?
As businesses undergo digital transformation, we have so many more applications and tools to use. Having so many capabilities at our fingertips is amazing! However, with countless products, platforms, programs and logins to keep track of, users and IT administrators alike can easily become overwhelmed.
Think about it: From emails to employee onboarding, contracts to corporate reports, payroll to procurement, PDF editing is a must-have for just about every digital document your company produces.
This type of software is pretty darn important to your users, and you want to get it right. One way to make everyone’s lives at work much easier is user-friendly, stress-free technology.
How do you track PDF software user adoption and ROI?
When introducing your employees to new PDF tools or changing from an established vendor to a new one, prioritizing user adoption is critical and will likely be the biggest indicator of ROI.
But what if you don’t have time to survey every employee about every feature and function? With Nitro, you don’t have to. Nitro Analytics tracks usage so demonstrating ROI is effortless.
Nitro Analytics works behind the scenes to understand which features employees are using most in Nitro PDF Pro and/or Nitro Sign, and a visual dashboard brings these insights to life.
The ROI calculator in Nitro Analytics allows IT teams to demonstrate ROI to key stakeholders and justify the initial product purchase, as well as build a case for adding licenses.
Choosing user-friendly solutions
What else makes PDF software easy to use? Here are three very important things to look for from your next PDF vendor:
1. Intuitive interfaces
It’s a fact. If your software isn’t easy to use, people simply aren’t going to use it. When considering what PDF editor might be the right fit for your organization, it’s essential to try the product first to ensure your everyday users can easily navigate the interface and make use of the features. Test daily workflows. Test integrations. Test it all because user adoption will be a challenge if the product is not easy enough to grasp.
Here are some questions to ask when thinking about your PDF software’s usability:
- How does the user interface (UI) look? Is it easy to navigate for beginners?
- Will people enjoy using this product?
- Would you enjoy using this product?
- Does it deliver a coherent or confusing user experience (UX)?
- How much user training will be needed?
An intuitive, easy-to-navigate UX will shorten the learning curve. Ensure you check all the boxes before deciding which PDF editor is right for your organization.
To help users feel at ease right away, Nitro PDF’s user interface mimics the Microsoft Office ribbon UI. This provides new users a familiar product experience and drives fast user adoption.
2. Easy license administration
- How will your new vendor approach customer support?
- Will they react quickly and proactively, taking a real interest in your problems?
- Will this vendor align their technology to the needs of your users?
As mentioned, PDF tools are more important than ever in the modern workplace. Digitization and digital transformation are priorities for businesses of all sizes. To support your users on this journey, make sure to find a PDF software partner who is committed to your success and will empower you to scale your business easily. A vendor that is looking to build a strategic, rather than transactional, relationship with you.
