‘Digital signatures are recognised internationally and offer many business benefits,’ says Eric Hughes of EMH Technology. ‘Even better – they are available to every organisation and are quick to implement.’

Seven advantages of digital signatures

1. Speed – it takes seconds for contracts to be signed and delivered electronically.

2. Ease of use – signing documents electronically is straightforward without the need for training.

3. Document accuracy – digital signature software can ensure that mandatory data is entered prior to signature submission. This ensures documents are fully completed and accurate, minimising the need for amending and resigning.

4. Cost saving – adding digital signatures to your business processes reduces the need for paper, printers and ink within the organisation. They involve minimal administrative cost and little ongoing maintenance.

5. Improved customer experience – quick, simple interaction for document signing offers an efficient and environmentally friendly impression to clients. Using digital signatures saves time and boosts confidence in your business.

6. Secure – digital signatures use a standard, accepted format, called Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). This provides the highest levels of security and is accepted universally.

7. Sustainability – eSignatures reduce your organisation’s paper consumption, demonstrating that technology can improve sustainability.

‘In harnessing these advantages, it’s important to ensure the storage and security of your digital signature solution are sufficient for your organisation,’ advises Eric. ‘These aspects should reflect current and future requirements.’
