AIE transforms artist registration with Namirial’s electronic signature

The Society of Artists AIE streamlines artist registration and document management thanks to Namirial’s Advanced Electronic Signature, reducing time and costs while increasing transparency and improving the member experience.

The Society of Artists AIE manages and defends the rights of thousands of artists in their professional development, guaranteeing a friendly, agile and transparent service. With a growing and increasingly global community, the organisation decided to drive forward its digital transformation to offer artists a faster, simpler and more sustainable experience. In this success story, we explain how they achieved this.

The challenge. The challenges that drove the need for change.

Before implementing Namirial’s signature, AIE faced a slow and paper-dependent process for onboarding new members. Contracts had to be signed physically and sent to the offices, which particularly affected artists in other cities or countries.

The main challenges were:

• Slow and inefficient registration processes delayed by postal deliveries
• Large volume of documents requiring manual management
• Need for a smoother, more transparent, and modern experience for artists
• High paper usage and low sustainability of the process

AIE needed a technological solution that would support its vision of offering the best support from the first contact, eliminating geographical and bureaucratic barriers.

‘Our mission is to accompany artists on their journey, which means, among other things, reducing the effort involved in administrative procedures so that we can be the close and transparent ally they need.’

— Fernando Prados, Head of Partnerships at AIE

The solution. The technological response that enabled the process to be transformed.

AIE adopted Namirial’s Advanced Electronic Signature, integrating it into key processes of its activity:

Areas using the solution

• Member services: to quickly manage artist registrations and offer them an immediate and professional experience.
• Legal advice and General Secretariat: to formalise contracts, agreements and other internal documents securely and efficiently.

This digitisation enabled the organisation to adopt a completely online workflow, consistent with its commitment to innovation and continuous improvement of its service to artists.

‘Adopting Namirial’s electronic signature has allowed us to be more agile, sustainable and, above all, improve the artist’s experience from the very first contact, fulfilling our goal of offering innovative services backed by the best technology.’

— Fernando Prados, Head of Partnerships di AIE

The results. The tangible impact of digitisation on everyday life.

Since implementing Namirial’s signature, AIE has seen significant improvements in both internal efficiency and artist satisfaction:

Greater agility and efficiency

• Reduction of 7–10 days in the time taken to complete new registrations within Spain.
• Reduction of 2–4 weeks in the registration of artists located in the US, Colombia, Argentina and other countries.

Sustainability and cost reduction

• Elimination of the use of nearly 2 tonnes of paper thanks to digitisation.
• Financial savings for artists by avoiding printing and courier costs.

Improved artist experience

• Accessible, immediate and transparent signing process.
• Greater professionalism and trust from the first contact.

Internal optimisation

• More than 40,000 administrative documents managed digitally.
• The team can devote more time to personalised support for artists.

Overall, the implementation of advanced electronic signatures has enabled AIE to completely transform its operations and the artist experience: much more agile processes that reduce waiting times by weeks, digital document management that eliminates tonnes of paper and associated costs, a closer and more transparent relationship from the first contact, and significant internal optimisation that frees up time for what really matters: supporting each artist in their professional development.

‘Digitising the registration process has also allowed us to reinforce our mission: to maintain a close and transparent relationship with each artist, regardless of where they are located.’

— Fernando Prados, Head of Membership at AIE
