It is a fact that we are going through a strong economic crisis in Brazil, but there is no need for panic. The crisis, for some, is even a light at the end of the tunnel. This is the time to stop, think and rethink the company's progress. And change!
One of the first measures that organizations must take is to reduce costs, maintaining the quality, efficiency and agility of the services provided. Like? Through Digital Certification. Yes, the Digital Certificate, the same used for the delivery of tax obligations to the government, can also be used as a management tool in companies.
With the use of Digital Certification, the processes become electronic, such as signing a contract. Without the need to purchase paper, handling, authentication and storage space. It only takes a few clicks, from the computer, notebook or cell phone, for a document to be signed with full legal validity.
Note how many costs are eliminated. It's not just paper, no. The square meter of Brazilian cities is still too expensive to be consumed by warehouses. Then, the account also includes the reduction of the square meter for storage of documents.
It is also important to say that the technology of Digital Certification allows not only the elimination of the use of paper in processes, but also the digitization of documents already printed, guaranteeing or assigning legal validity.
Another point is that "time is money", always in times of crisis. And processes in the electronic environment do not stop. From anywhere, an executive can, for example, sign a contract and formalize a big deal. In other words, there is no longer a need for physical presence to make a decision that requires a signature.
It is for these and other reasons that Digital Certification is taking on a new dimension in the daily lives of entrepreneurs. Many already see it as a management tool. And this is a trend with no return! Even in times of crisis, opportunities for change cannot be missed. The coming year should be more challenging and will demand even more bureaucratization of processes and cost reduction. The business is to stay focused, move on and invest in what will bring value and gain to your business.
