Nitro PDF Pro
Scalable Solutions & Streamlined Workflows
The Challenge
Centralize fragmented workflows with a single solution
After a review of PDF software in use across the organization, Howden Group, a world-class engineering company, uncovered 27 different PDF products and versions – resulting in a myriad of incompatibility challenges. One-third of the installed PDF software was not the latest version and had outdated security patches, while many products did not offer product support or training resources. A great deal of Howden’s users required PDF editing capabilities, and some associates were using multiple PDF products for printing and editing purposes.
The Solution
Streamlined PDF workflows—company-wide
Serving an ever-growing team of 6,000 employees in 27 countries, Howden’s IT team needed a reliable document productivity partner to provide scalable solutions for the company. After reviewing the market-leading PDF solutions for functionality, usability, and cost, Aiden Curran, IT Service Delivery Manager, chose Nitro as the solution best suited to solving its document and workflow challenges. From reviewing Nitro as a company, it was apparent that they are focused solely on PDF products and indeed own their IP, so this makes security releases and development key to their business support practices.
The Results
Thanks to Nitro, Howden has standardized its PDF solution, reducing the risk of non-compliance, bolstering security, and accelerating productivity across the organization.
Streamlined workflows
Users are able to secure documents and company IP with Nitro, creating a streamlined process and eliminating the need for—and cost of—additional tools.
Reduced printing costs
Employees leverage Nitro’s electronic signature functionality to digitally sign documents, reducing printing requirements and overall costs for Howden.
Faster user adoption
Howden’s IT team relies on Nitro’s training sessions and resources to educate users and accelerate adoption across the organization.
DEALING WITH NITRO IS A PLEASURE—THEY ARE NOT A FACELESS CORPORATE ENTITY, BUT ENGAGE WITH US PROACTIVELY.
