The world of work has changed, and so have our device operating systems.
Are your remote or temporary users productive and secure from anywhere, on any device, without compromising IT security? It’s no longer enough to simply have the latest operating system, such as Windows 11, rolled out across your fleet. If you are managing a temporary or elastic workforce, working across both company-owned and personal devices, we know how challenging this can be to manage.
Introducing your solution: Microsoft Windows 365, a cloud service offering a new way to experience Windows 11. Connect to your own dedicated PC hosted in the Microsoft cloud, from any device or anywhere, and stream your personalised apps, settings, and content. Windows 365 helps you support your remote and hybrid workforce without sacrificing security or performance.

Did you know 80% of Australian organisations have experienced a ransomware attack, compared to the global average of 68%1? Cyber security challenges continue to evolve, compliance obligations increase and skills shortages stress your teams – what if we could reframe our mindset towards cyber security?

Where can I access e-signatures in Acrobat Pro?
You can use the ‘Request e-signatures’ option in the Acrobat app, or on the web version of Acrobat depending on what you prefer.
Where is the data residency for Adobe Sign?
The Adobe Sign service will be onboarded to Australian shores, meaning the data will go through Adobe’s AWS data centres in Sydney, Australia.
What roles can you assign to people in SMB version of Adobe Sign?
You have access to three roles in the updated SMB version of Adobe Sign: signer, approver or form filler.
Are there any security features I can set up for my document?
Yes. You can assign each individual recipient a password, or set a global password to the entire document for added peace of mind.
Can I edit my document after I’ve sent it for signing?
You cannot edit the document itself, but you can change some settings of it. Within Adobe Acrobat you can view the signature progress, cancel the document, add notes or adjust the recipients.
What are Adobe Document Services?
Adobe Document Services are made up of PDF Services and Sign for Enterprise. These are APIs designed to automate your workflows and make your job easier.
How do I access Adobe Add-ins such as Adobe Acrobat for Microsoft 365?
If you have admin access to your Microsoft 365, you can find all the Adobe Add-ins on Microsoft AppSource and then make them available for your organisation.
Can I try out the Adobe APIs for free?
Yes. Head to https://developer.adobe.com/apis to start free trials of all the Adobe APIs discussed in this webinar.
How does pricing work for Adobe Sign for Enterprise?
You are able to purchase Adobe Sign for Enterprise for each individual employee at your organisation, although 99% of people purchase it as a transaction (or an envelope). The Adobe APIs also follow a similar transaction-based pricing framework.
