Situation
Digital documents play a key role in Harwood Andrews business processes, and the legal firm has set its sights on becoming a paperless office. In the past, Harwood Andrews replied on multiple different solutions to create, manage and edit PDFs, which drove up its costs and reduced operational efficiency. To achieve its paperless goals, the firm aimed to replace this patchwork of software with a single, streamlined PDF solution.
Shane Doak, Knowledge Resources Manager at Harwood Andrews, explains: “Much of the PDF software that we were using could only do so much, which was becoming increasingly frustrating for our employees. For example, a scanning document would often produce PDFs with extremely large file sizes. When people tried to resize PDFs documents to reduce the file size for emailing, it was a time-consuming and painful process.
The Solution
After coming across Power PDF at a legal conference, Harwood Andrews decided to trial the solution alongside two others from different vendors.
“We found that Power PDF had all the features we needed,” comments Shane Doak. “The Tungsten solution was also very user-friendly compared to the other two solutions we looked at. Although many of our employees are not tech-savvy, they picked Power PDF up quickly because the software is so easy to use. We felt Power PDF was well-geared towards the day-to-day professional user. The price was extremely affordable, and we decided to run with Power PDF.”
Designed specifically for enterprise use, Power PDF provides all the capabilities business users need at a competitive price point. The software lets users create, assemble, convert, edit, search, secure, print and validate PDF documents and forms easily and quickly.
