A very limited number of employees had access to a solution that enabled them to work with contracts in electronic format. The shift to digital contracts required Swiss Re to equip a great deal more employees with tools to replace their reliance on paper. Swiss Re was unable to simply scale the existing solution due to its hefty price tag. The organization has its own processes and protocols for the widespread deployment of software, which requires the creation of an install package by their configuration team.

In 2010, Swiss Re undertook a huge initiative to modernize their document processes, specifically migrating all insurance contracts to an electronic format. This move prompted their need to greatly expand employee access to tools that would allow them to stop using paper and manage these documents digitally. “After seeing increased productivity, reduced paper waste company-wide, and a significant increase in user collaboration, Nitro PDF Pro is now Swiss Re’s first-choice PDF product,” said Swiss Re’s VP Information Technology Heinz Urech.
