Government Agencies Can Save Up to 50 Percent on Desktop PDF

Nuance’s “Better PDF for Government” program offers government customers a less costly alternative to Adobe Acrobat.

Government Agencies Can Save Up to 50 Percent on Desktop PDF

Nuance’s “Better PDF for Government” program offers government customers a less costly alternative to Adobe Acrobat.

Burlington, Mass.-based Nuance Communications, Inc., a provider of speech and imaging solutions, announced its “Better PDF for Government” program, which gives government agencies the opportunity to save up to 50 percent on the cost of PDF desktop software. The program offers special volume pricing on Nuance PDF Converter Professional, an alternative to Adobe Acrobat for desktop PDF.

Initially developed in collaboration with Microsoft, Nuance’s PDF Converter Professional provides PDF creation, editing, form-filling, and annotation capabilities like Adobe Acrobat. It also has features not found in Acrobat, however, such as turning PDF files back into Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files complete with text, columns, tables, and graphics. For a five-page document, PDF-to-Office conversion could save an hour or more of effort by eliminating the need to manually recreate document content, according to Nuance.

“In the current budget and economic environment, most organizations are looking for every possible way to save money and increase the productivity of their current staff,” says Robert Weideman, senior vice president and general manager, Nuance Document Imaging Division. “Our ‘Better PDF for Government’ solution is designed to highlight that there is a choice in PDF–and that Nuance PDF delivers the best value for taxpayer money and highest levels of document productivity for government staff at a fraction of the cost of other PDF solutions.”

The “Better PDF for Government” program offers government volume licensing, which enables agencies to purchase the Nuance PDF solution at discounts over commercial organizations, with pricing that is up to 50 percent less than Adobe Acrobat. For example, a 500 seat license of Nuance PDF would save an organization more than $30,000. Alternatively, Nuance could provide more than 1,200 seats of PDF Converter Professional for the price that Adobe charges for 500 seats of Adobe Acrobat.

Nuance also offers a government site license program (SLP-G), which delivers greater savings over the volume license program and has no per-seat counting or compliance and audit provisions. This lowers the cost of acquisition as well as cost of ownership, says Nuance, as organizations do not waste time and effort on compliance concerns.

In addition, Nuance has developed www.BetterPDF.com/Gov†as a quick reference site where government agencies can go to understand the value of PDF Converter Professional, request a product evaluation, and compare pricing using an interactive Savings Calculator.
