Thousands of companies the world over have realized that the lean economic times call for saving money and time for a business to thrive and are looking for every opportunity to achieve this. This is where the electronic signature has come in handy in helping organizations replace paper work with e-signature. When an organization wants to transition from paper-based to electronic signatures, some considerations should be looked into to avoid the common pitfalls many find themselves in.
Firstly, a good electronic signature should be adept in the verification of documents that are from outside the organization. Employees require being flexible and so, the e-signature should enable them work on documents such as signing even when they are traveling. It should also create a leeway for the use of multiple applications such as Adobe Acrobat, TIFF images and Microsoft Word. There is e-signature that will allow only one signature once the signing, sealing of the document has taken place, and this makes the addition of more signatures quite impossible. Cross platform, capabilities should also be possible in an enforceable electronic signature.
The best e-signature is one that is compliant with the law. There is certain criterion that an electronic signature has to follow just as it is with the case of the ink signature. One of these requirements is the authenticity of the signature that looks at whether a secure process can authorize a certain signature. The integrity of the e-signature is also another factor to consider when selecting the best because will help in detecting any alteration of the signature during transmission. The signature should be the one that cannot be accessed by unlawful user or sources. The verification of e-signature is also very important. One should ensure that all parties could verify it. It should also be un-refutable, meaning that it cannot be denied.
I am also planning to design an electronic signature but is not aware of all these rules that one has to keep in mind while designing it. This post has helped me a lot in learning all the points that will support in selecting the best electronic signature. Thanks for posting.
