The process of filling and signing of documents has been made more effective, reliable, cost-effective and fast with the application of esignature services. Companies are seeking for those technological innovations, which enhance service delivery and perhaps online document signing offers an ideal option. With the online document signing process, the documents are uploaded in PDF or word file formats and send to the recipients’ email.
Upon signing, the documents are sent back to the sender. The process can take hours if not minutes and this reduces the time taken in signing document from hours to minutes. Moreover, since there are different ways in which esignatures can digitally be embedded on the documents, this means that the signers can apply the most suitable mode.
For example, there is the use of handwritten signatures where the documents are signed by use of finger on their laptop or iPhone screens. This produces a wet-looking signature that looks like a ‘pen and paper’ signature. This is as impressing as the typical way of signing documents. Similarly, there are specially designed fonts, which are used to produce typed signatures.
A signer can as well apply these fonts, which resemble handwriting. In addition, with this electronic signature service, the signer can sign by using the touch pads on their iPhones and iPads. This means that they can sign the documents while on the go thus enhancing service delivery in organization. With a secure system of online document signing such as the use of SSL data encryption features from VeriSign, this ensures that clients’ documents and data are protected from intruders.
There are other features, which are incorporated in the signing process such as ‘sign by fax’ whereby the signers sign documents by printing out faxable signature pages that contain unique barcodes. The document is signed with pen and faxed to a special fax number provided by the esignature service provider. The signed documents are then forwarded to the sender. The process is confidential and secure and all clients’ data is protected. This creates confidence with users.
