Targeted Malware is Raging Across South Africa, Kenya & Nigeria

How Adobe Sign Eases Digital Transformation & Supports Business Continuity
The impact of the global pandemic on businesses revealed inefficiencies in outdated processes and highlighted the benefits of digital transformation. “There are still many organisations using paper-based document processes that are slow, cumbersome and difficult to manage,” says Jeremy Matthews CEO of Dax Data, Adobe’s Distributor in Africa. “In addition, they are highly insecure and vulnerable to fraud.
