With the coming of the Internet, the business world has had to take a very close look at how they conduct their transactions. In many ways the Internet has made doing business from long distance much simpler. There was a time when you had to have both parties in the same room to sign a contract.

The ESIGN Act Made Using E Signatures Binding
Thanks to the passage of the ESIGN act and the use of the appropriate security software, sign contracts can now be signed digitally and result in a legally binding contract that is just a legal as one that has been signed in pen.

This can literally reduce your turnaround time down to the time it takes for each person to read and email it back.
