We know time is precious, so we’ll get right to the point: Paper-based processes are tarnishing your procurement department’s reputation for driving cost savings, improving service, and expediting execution.
First, there’s the printing, scanning, faxing, and mailing of documents. Then comes the constant tracking down of physical signatures for everything from statements of work to supplier contracts. Add in the manual filing, searching, and retrieving of hard copies and it’s no wonder that inefficiency abounds.
Organizations that have invested heavily in digital systems but still rely on paper transactions are left with end-to-end processes that are totally disjointed. This, in turn, leads to an array of recurring pain points. In procurement, you’re dealing with procure-to-pay snafus, compliance complications, and inconsistent customer interactions.
Your best bet for fast relief is to go fully digital. Everything from integrated workflow capabilities to streamlined operations to simplified mobile business dealings is powerfully delivered. As a result, delays, risks, and costs will be significantly reduced while the user experience will be greatly enhanced.
“Before DocuSign, it took 76 days for a contract to be signed. We went from 23 steps down to 7 steps. With DocuSign, we have the contract signed internally and externally, in our document repository in only 4 days from 76 days, which is a 93% improvement in turnaround time.”
Nick Gunn
Senior VP of Global Procurement, Hewlett-Packard
