Motor Presse Stuttgart, a leading German media company, recognized the need for improved efficiency in its document editing and collaboration processes. To address this need, the company made the strategic decision to replace Adobe Acrobat with Foxit PhantomPDF. This transition was not only aimed at enhancing their PDF document editing capabilities but also at significantly reducing license costs associated with the previous software. By adopting Foxit, the company sought to streamline workflows and improve productivity across its operations.
One of the standout features of Foxit PhantomPDF is its seamless integration with SharePoint and Office 365. This integration allows users to efficiently manage documents directly within their existing workflows, enhancing collaboration among team members. The software's Microsoft-style ribbon interface contributed to an easy adoption process, allowing staff to navigate the tool intuitively without the need for extensive additional training. This user-friendly design was crucial in ensuring that employees could quickly become proficient with the new system.
Despite experiencing some initial minor challenges with handling PDF/A documents, Motor Presse Stuttgart was impressed by Foxit’s responsive support team. They were able to resolve the issues swiftly, minimizing disruptions to daily operations. This level of customer service reinforced the firm’s confidence in their decision to switch to Foxit PhantomPDF, as it ensured a smoother transition and ongoing support for users.
Since the rollout of PhantomPDF, the software has significantly streamlined workflows for over 650 users within the organization. The positive feedback and increased efficiency have led Motor Presse Stuttgart to consider expanding its use of the software across more departments, further solidifying their commitment to leveraging innovative technology to enhance productivity and collaboration in the fast-paced media landscape.
