In Our Customers’ Own Words

Here are just a few of the ways we have helped educational organisations just like yours:

Cape Peninsula University of Technology

Rolling out a new overtime claim form

CPUT was looking for a solution to replace its manual system for overtime claim submissions. Previously, these claims had to be sequentially signed by the employee, supervisor, HOD, and finally, the Faculty Dean, before receiving a signed acknowledgment from the payroll department. It was a time-consuming administrative nightmare.

Learning Curve helped CPUT implement a webform integrated with Adobe Acrobat Sign that dramatically reduced approval time from days to minutes as approvers no longer needed to physically print, sign, and scan the form and now had the ability to electronically sign the forms from their laptop, desktop or mobile device from anywhere.

The Durban University of Technology AppFactory

Integrating Adobe Acrobat Sign into existing applications and workflows

DUT AppFactory embedded Adobe Acrobat Sign within its applications and processes via integrated Adobe widgets and web parts. This fusion involved preparing documents for signatures, uploading them to Adobe Acrobat Sign, and then constructing and displaying the widget/web form. By integrating these widgets, DUT AppFactory effortlessly incorporated the e-signature process into its platform and uploaded the finalised signed document. Throughout this journey, the Learning Curve team was an invaluable source of consistent support.

University of South Africa

E-signatures now mandatory

At the onset of the COVID-19 lockdown, UNISA began its journey with Adobe Acrobat Sign. As a testament to the utility of the tool, UNISA has, since then, been signing approximately 4,500 documents every month. To ensure transparency and traceability, all documents that require a signature now mandatorily pass through Adobe Acrobat Sign, thanks to its audit trail feature. UNISA found Adobe Acrobat Sign not only secure but also significantly more efficient than physical signing methods. The platform’s reminder emails for pending signatures further enhanced this efficiency.

Stellenbosch University

Keeping track of documents for approval

Stellenbosch University needed an efficient online signing system to track and share approval documents across support services. Just as in its previous manual systems, the digital transition required individual team accountability. Meeting specific standards was crucial, especially within the financial department where operational procedures were paramount. Transitioning to a paperless system with Adobe Acrobat Sign streamlined admin duties, sending email notifications and links to all levels in the university’s hierarchy, ensuring prompt task completion.

Staff at the university also required external consultants to use Adobe Acrobat Sign for approving and signing proforma documentation—a task once constrained by physical commutes, which led to extensive delays. Now, stakeholders can sign a single document, and participants are only notified once all sign-offs are complete, eliminating unnecessary logins and boosting efficiency. With Adobe Acrobat Sign, the approval turnaround time has dramatically decreased, and print-time has become virtually obsolete.

The Bottom Line

Adobe Acrobat Sign isn’t just an e-signature solution, it’s a game-changer for modern operations. It caters to diverse sectors, including small and large educational institutions, and it is user-friendly enough to be maximised by users of all technical levels. By championing efficiency and integration, Adobe Acrobat Sign paves the way for a present and future where transactions are swift and straightforward.

Universities At The Forefront Of The Digital Signature Revolution

“I’m always seeking the next big thrill”

Me in a word: Exploratory

The first 21 years of my life were a mix of travel, sports and chasing academic excellence. As a child, I enjoyed jet skiing, bungee jumping and a few venomous pets. I’m still always seeking the next big thrill, like rock climbing and cave exploration.

Since leaving university and surviving the COVID years, I’ve developed my skills across different fields, from education to private healthcare, with a keen interest in human biology and education.

To relax, I watch old war movies or series, and shows like Sons of Anarchy and The Wire. Cooking was a big part of my childhood and I’d always help my parents prepare meals. I’ll bake anything with chocolate!

My wilderness survival buddy would be my dad. He’s a DIY expert, with basic wilderness survival skills. I once had a narrow escape outdoors: Venturing off the path on a solo hike, roasting in midday sun, suffering from dehydration, leg cramps and an encounter with a juvenile cobra. (I survived.)

Some everyday things that really annoy me are the morning traffic rush – and people being indecisive at the drive-thru window.

My bucket list destinations? Thailand, for rock climbing and base jumping, and Burma, for Lethwei (Burmese bare-knuckle boxing).

I think the human race needs a greater focus on work-life balance. Spending more time enjoying the little things, whether sport, art or music would help everyone live better, more fulfilling lives.

If I could change the law, I’d ban farm-raised lion hunting, and I’d allow a years’ paid parental leave for all new parents.

Outside of work, I juggle sports, cooking and taking my dogs out for regular walks.

My work family is supportive and engaging, always available to bounce ideas or chat. Learning Curve is the best work family ever, with an unparalleled culture. I like the freedom and flexibility to explore new and creative avenues – and the endless coffee (Yay!)

“Every day is different.”

Me in a word: Outgoing

I grew up in KZN, often barefoot in the bush, or soaking up the Durban sunshine. Our home was loud, with four daughters and weird and wonderful pets, and my love for performing means I have a large, bubbly, personality.

I wanted to be a singer and actress, then a vet. I moved to Cape Town to study Anatomy and completed an M.Sc at Stellenbosch University, then joined Learning Curve, where I work with 3D Anatomy software, Primal Pictures.

In my free time I like hiking, running, and yoga – and I’ve taught myself to play the ukulele. I recently started busking and people did tip me. (Was that their way of begging me to stop?)

Home entertainment? OK, this is embarrassing but I love the kind of reality shows which I fondly refer to as ‘trash TV’. I’m a vegetarian and love veggies, but also a classic mac and cheese with a parmesan crust.

I’m a cat person – my cat is my baby. I like the feline independence, and contrary to popular belief, they can be very friendly and loving.

Australia’s top of my bucket list; I was a huge Steve Irwin fan as a child and I’d love to visit the family’s zoo. I’d also love to spend more time exploring the spectacular nature that South Africa has to offer, and learn more musical instruments.

If I was in charge, there’d be a law against chewing with your mouth open, and one act of kindness every day would be compulsory. Kindness and compassion are what the world needs now.

I’m very lucky to be part of the wonderful Learning Curve education team. We’re passionate about our work and we’re loud and energetic, always having lots of fun with our clients around the country. This is a family that I love being a part of. Every day is different, which keeps things fun and exciting. Our team is full of knowledgeable people – I’m constantly learning new things from my colleagues.

My favourite office snack? Peanuts.
