From executing contracts to accepting deliveries, signatures are used countless times a day across the globe. Utilizing an eSignature solution means that these signed agreements can be completed with the touch of a button. What in the past would have taken hours, days, or even weeks to complete can now be done within minutes. At Chateaux, we can integrate a wide range of applications from existing vendors within your new IT project. We believe integrating an eSignature solution could be beneficial for many projects, and here is why…
Integrating an eSignature solution within your IT environment enables you to fully automate the contract or agreement signature process without having to launch any new software or open any internet browser windows. You are able to customize the software interface, meaning it will be familiar to your staff and employees, which in turn should mean less time training them to use it. You will be able to use the desired functionality of your chosen eSignature solution within your own IT interface.
What are the main benefits of integrating an eSignature solution within your project/IT environment?
eSignature solutions provide many benefits, but here are some that we think are key:
- Time saving – You can send and sign agreements from pretty much any mobile device. For example, using DocuSign up to 82% of agreements are completed in less than a day, and 49% in less than 15 minutes
- Efficiency – Processes are simplified and manual tasks eliminated. eSignature solutions are quick and convenient for both your employees and customers.
- Cost saving – Costs are reduced on postage and stationery as well as increasing employee productivity.
- Environmental impact – Paper accounts for around 26% of total waste at landfills, and US offices use around 12.1 trillion sheets of paper per year. Using an eSignature solution eliminates the need for paper documentation–one eSignature solution has replaced over 20 billion sheets of paper with digital processes since 2003.
- Improved auditing – Signature trails are digitally documented, as well as timestamped which makes auditing much simpler.
Who would be an ideal candidate for a project including eSignature integration?
eSignatures can be used for such a vast number of purposes that there really is no ‘one ideal’ candidate for this kind of project. There really are so many use cases! Here are a few scenarios where an eSignature integration is the perfect fit:
- When dealing with legal documents: eSignatures are legally binding with a court-admissible audit trail. This makes them the ideal solution when issuing and receiving legal documents of any kind.
- Sales contracts: For many businesses, sales contracts are the most frequently signed item —as well as the most important. An eSignature solution saves a lot of manual process in these scenarios, and this is true for both large multinational enterprises and small local businesses.
- Real estate transactions: eSignature solutions have gained widespread acceptance in this sector and are used to process tens of millions of real estate transactions.
