The use of an e signature can help reduce the amount of time is needed to complete signatures on important documents. Instead of having to print each document, obtain the necessary signatures and then route it to the requesting party, the entire process is conducted electronically. Often notifications are sent through your email that documents need to be signed. Once you open the document, you are able to sign it and save an updated version complete with your signature. You then can email the signed document as an attachment to the person, who requested your signature.
You Can Use an E Signature with a Authentication Certificate
When you decide to use an e-signature solution, which is available from us, here at Digi-Sign, within your organization, you will want to take a few preventive measures. You will want to consider using digital authentication keys or certificates along with the electronic signature. The digital certificate combines with the electronic signature to provide an authentic signature. Any attempt to change the signature after this point, will result in an error message on the document, alerting you to the fact it was altered or attempted to be signed by someone else.
