Getting started with eSignatures
How it works
eSignature is a process that blends technical and legal frameworks to enable strong authentication as well as proof of consent on digital documents. In order for digital signatures to be legally-binding, eSignature providers need to meet strict norms and certifications.
The main criteria that need to be met include: authentication of signing parties, proof of consent, and electronic seal on signed documents to ensure their integrity.
Legality of electronic signatures
eSignatures are just as legally-binding as regular signatures. They are recognized by EU law via the eIDAS regulation.
Certified providers can act on behalf of their partners to generate legally-binding signatures recognized by law. These trusted third parties are audited on a regular basis to ensure that their solutions comply with European regulations.
Successfully switch to a paper-free system
Companies of all sizes have already made the switch and gone paperless via software suites, electronic files and exchanges, storage on servers, etc. However, signing documents and contracts remains a step which, due to the lack of dedicated tools, still often requires printing, handwritten signature and archiving paper documents.
The eSignature makes it possible to finalize the process of going paperless with a mechanism that will be digitized end-to-end from the production, to the signature, to the archiving of documents. Save time and space, get better accessibility of documents and optimize your administrative processes: digital signatures allow companies to further increase their productivity.
Advantages of eSignatures
Your agreements generate a lot of unnecessary work for your team: tedious paperwork, multiple back-and-forths, and multiple blind spots that slow your progress.
With eSignatures, your team can streamline all these processes: send your documents online for approval, using recognized formats such as PDF and request signatures from your customers, partners and employees online or face to face.
