To contribute to the panorama, technology companies already provide solutions that reduce paper consumption and optimize resources, and fortunately, educational institutions have bet on digitization and today are witnessing its benefits.
Many of the universities in Latin America are digitized and have migrated from physical to electronic signature processes.

Also, it has optimized legal requirements, facilitated both administrative and educational issues, and overcome a series of legal challenges.
Without going too far, the ICESI University of Colombia, recognized as one of the best educational institutions in the country, has become an environmental benchmark for its zero-paper policy, which aims to digitize processes.
