Leveraging Collaborative Tools For The Digital Age

After the pandemic, flexible working arrangements are here to stay. Whether you are telling most of your workers to come back to the office, or you are allowing them to work at home forever, or you are in between, every company has its own remote work policy. In South Africa, working from home is a no-brainer to avoid traffic congestion, save fuel, or keep staff close to a stable internet connection. This is even before accounting for its role in providing work-life balance.

Today’s productivity conversations must be about how to make remote work easier. Learning Curve, a wholly owned South African company with offices in Cape Town and Johannesburg, has been at the forefront of making work easier through innovative and specialised software licensing for over 15 years.

Now, Learning Curve is using its deep experience in productivity software to make the work lives of its own workers that much more convenient and effective. The company walks the talk. It operates a “work from home Wednesdays” program for all staff which offers a morale-boosting midweek recharge. Learning Curve uses software tools to maximise effects, such as giving its sales team the tools to connect with clients while out in the field.

Digital tools have become critical to every part of businesses across the country, from the boardroom to the front desk to the warehouse. Digital transformation starts with digitised workflows but also requires changes to culture, processes, and workforce attitudes to driving better outcomes.

Learning Curve trusts the tools it sells. Investing in technology has helped make its remote work experience positive and collaborative while keeping team morale high. The company offers standardised Adobe Acrobat Solutions to its entire team.

Documentation is the lifeblood of any company. Protecting the intellectual property and business processes contained in them is as important as any other high-grade function. Whether it’s editing, organizing, combining, or protecting PDFs from alteration, Learning Curve staff have access to a robust suite of leading tools.

The collaborative feature in Adobe Acrobat has proven invaluable as the team works on PDFs in real-time from locations across the country. The Learning Curve team will attest that it’s not just about increasing workplace productivity or automating processes, working collaboratively on a document is a satisfying connected experience.

Team members can also work with OneDrive and Google Drive files directly in Acrobat. Document sharing and ensuring the security and authenticity of all important digital communication through electronic signatures has never been easier.

Organizations everywhere must reconsider the document journey from creation to collaboration, signature, archival, and retrieval. As Learning Curve knows, some of an organization’s most critical data lives within PDFs and other documents, distributed across systems and storage. That’s why having the power of Adobe Acrobat PDFs to integrate seamlessly with the full suite of Microsoft 365 with the benefit of enterprise-grade cloud security is such a win.

Organizations leveraging Adobe Acrobat solutions are seeing the payoff. A recent Forrester study shows companies that embrace all the productivity tools in the Adobe product family realize a staggering ROI of 519%. Some of the most positive outcomes include 30% faster transactions, 47% more efficient back office work, and 45% better customer retention and loyalty.

Learning Curve has introduced many ‘firsts’ to the South African market. It knows the digital world will never stop changing and customer needs will keep evolving. But, the more things change, the more it will keep moving, innovating, adapting and most crucially – collaborating.
