## What the story says

DigitalOcean's People team uses Scribe to create step-by-step visual guides for its Workday rollout and embeds them in Confluence as a single, self-updating source of documentation and training. It has since become the standard for rolling out other tools such as Coupa and Navan.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Scribe and DigitalOcean, not ours.

> With Scribe, DigitalOcean avoided all the classic pitfalls of a global software implementation. It used to take DigitalOcean 2-3 hours to make a guide. With Scribe, they’ve cut that time down to 15-30 minutes.

- **15-30 minutes**: “With Scribe, they’ve cut that time down to 15-30 minutes.”

> Having Scribe allowed us to stay on schedule for our Workday implementation. We definitely would’ve been behind schedule if we had stuck with the old ways of documentation.
