Introduction
Breion Moses is the founder and CEO of Seven Hillz Productions and heads the Seven Hillz Productions Foundation (SHPF), an organization that seeks to equip aspiring filmmakers in college with the tools needed to develop careers in the industry. From providing skills training to funding merit-based scholarships, SHPF’s offerings are all aimed at fostering diverse representation within the film industry.
Challenges
Within the nonprofit space, two factors play a key role in most of the software decisions: cost and legal compliance. SHPF had selected an e-signature solution to facilitate its partnerships with universities, colleges, and trade schools, but over time, Breion and the SHPF team began to see a change in the benefits of using their initial solution.
“They reduced down a lot of the offerings that we were already paying for,” Breion said. “The pricing was really increasing.”
With costs rising and features disappearing, SHPF began searching for a better solution.
Solution
Breion and the team did some looking on online forums like Reddit for different options. They discovered BoldSign, an alternative to their previous solution that offered a wide range of features at a fraction of the cost. Part of their search involved a call with Betty Akinyi, one of our dedicated BoldSign representatives who provides online support with great care. “Betty was great,” Breion said. “She really took the time to explain everything, and I loved that.” One day, a client happened to mention BoldSign to Gwen and sent her a link to the demo when she expressed interest. The demo was so impressive that she signed up.
After a
demo of BoldSign’s offerings and a
free 30-day trial, the SHPF team decided to make the switch. When she had lingering questions, Breion reached out to the BoldSign team and received a thorough response, both a phone call with a detailed walkthrough and a follow-up email with precise visual guidance for Breion to use in the future.
With BoldSign, SHPF can take advantage of key features that simplify its partnership processes. Automated reminders provide a safety net for time-sensitive actions, ensuring that all parties are aware of when signatures are due. BoldSign’s audit trail ensures that the SHPF team can look back on a document’s history at any time.
“I really like the audit trail because you get a chance to see everything,” Breion said. “Sometimes folks may not remember that they received a document from us, or they just can’t find it anymore. But we’re able to view all of that.”
Impact
Breion and the SHPF team find BoldSign to be a user-friendly tool that provides the structure they need at a cost that’s right for them. Now, they’ve got a support partner to work with who can answer any questions they might have, anytime.
