Could Power Apps Replace DocuSign for your Company?


Are document approval costs putting a strain on your budget?


For many in the education administration industry, solutions like DocuSign, while effective, can quickly add up.


But what if you could eliminate these costs by using the tools you already have?


Many organizations with Microsoft enterprise licenses may not realize they already have access to Power Apps, a powerful alternative for internal document approvals.


This case study explores how one education-focused IT company made this switch, saving time, money, and improving internal processes along the way.


Challenge: High Document Approval Costs


Our client, a trusted IT partner to colleges and educational institutions, saw their clients facing unsustainable costs associated with document approvals.


Despite already having Microsoft licenses, these colleges continued to rely on expensive third-party solutions.


The challenge was clear: find a way to streamline and reduce document approval costs, all while maintaining high standards of security and compliance.


Solution: Introducing “Form Central”


To tackle this challenge, we developed “Form Central,” a custom Power Apps solution designed specifically to replace DocuSign for internal document approvals within the Microsoft ecosystem.


The Form Central App leverages the existing Power Apps and Power Automate tools to enable fast, secure, and compliant document approvals—all without the extra cost of external software. Document signing software commonly charges a subscription and a per signature amount becoming almost impossible to continue with as a company scales upward.


With seamless integration into Microsoft’s familiar tools, such as SharePoint, this solution allowed the team to save significantly and streamline processes. Costs were cut almost 70 percent in the first 6 months.


What Benefits Could This Bring to Your Organization?


Cost Savings: Before implementing Form Central, the colleges were spending thousands annually on document approvals. By shifting to Power Apps, they saw immediate savings by utilizing their existing Microsoft licenses. Could your organization reduce costs the same way?


Streamlined Approvals: The new solution transformed how documents were approved, cutting down on time spent and improving operational efficiency. Ready to lower approval costs while making workflows easier?


Enhanced Security and Compliance: Form Central ensures all document approvals stay within the secure Microsoft environment, helping maintain compliance with strict standards. Is your company missing out on an equally secure and affordable solution?


Smooth Transition: With Microsoft tools already in use, employees found the transition to Form Central easy and intuitive. This minimized the learning curve, so they could start saving time and costs right away.
