Client: A mid-market project management SaaS company wanting to allow users to sign off on project proposals directly within their application.
Problem: Forcing users to leave their platform to sign documents created a disjointed experience and lowered conversion rates on proposals. Adobe Sign's API was prohibitively expensive and complex for their needs.

Enterprise HR Streamlines Global Onboarding
Client: A multinational corporation's HR department responsible for onboarding hundreds of employees across different countries each year.
Problem: The onboarding process was a logistical nightmare of sending, tracking, and collecting dozens of forms per employee. Their existing Adobe Sign plan lacked the user-friendly bulk sending features they desperately needed.
Key Challenges:
- Massive administrative overhead for the HR team.
- Inconsistent and slow onboarding experience for new hires.
- Difficulty tracking completion of required documents.
- High per-user costs for a large HR team.
