Global organizations are looking for cost-friendly, feature-rich, and user-friendly solutions to modernize their operations. That's what led Novadis to UPDF, an advanced PDF management tool to tackle operational costs and complex document processes. Follow along to learn how UPDF transformed the document workflow of Novadis.
Part 1. Challenges Before Using UPDF
Novadis is a well-known enterprise that designs state-of-the-art security solutions for businesses. It provides security solutions for IT and networks, access control and intrusion, video surveillance, and third-party integrations.
With ten years of experience and partnership with OnSSI and DDS brands, it offers a unified solution for designing and maintaining security solutions for small to large-scale organizations.
Over the years, Novadis has used Adobe Acrobat Pro to handle its PDF-related activities, like reading, editing, encrypting, conversion, and more. However, the company faced many challenges during this journey, as follows:
“Depending on the department my colleagues work in, we can modify objects, rewrite over them or convert the file to another format. The software that we used to prefer and that met our various use cases was Adobe Acrobat Pro. However, its OPEX is considerable all year round! On the other hand, UPDF offers a good alternative. What's more, the UX is very user-friendly.”

- Less User-Friendly Interface: Novadis employees found Adobe Acrobat Pro's interface less user-friendly. Mastering all its features requires a bit of a learning curve.
- High Operational Expenditure (OpEx): Adobe Acrobat Pro has expensive premium plans. Acrobat Pro for Teams costs $23.99/month per license. So, Novadis faced OpEx considerably high all year round.
- Limited AI Assistance: Although Adobe Acrobat Pro provides an AI assistant to help with summarizing or chatting with PDF, Novadis felt that the support was limited and less intuitive.
All the above challenges made Novadis seek a better PDF management tool. That's when UPDF came into the picture.

- Writing new content for training materials, contracts, etc.
