E-Signatures Make Sales, Paperwork Lags Behind
In a digital, remote, and hybrid world, paperwork for agreements no longer makes sense. The physical signing process has many costs and, when compared to e-Signing, simply lags behind.
Costs of Paperwork
Impact on productivity and sales. The extra time added in the physical signing processes also decreases the productivity of a sales team, thereby limiting the revenue generated by the team. Delaying the process can also cause frustration and result in parties withdrawing from the agreement.
Vulnerability to compliance gaps. Devices save the most recent versions of documents. With paperwork, teams handle multiple physical copies and are vulnerable to sending out the wrong version of an agreement. This exposes any team handling sensitive documents to compliance issues.
Poor customer experiences. Inefficiencies of manual reviews cause frustration not only among sales teams, but also among customers. The risk of human error in physical paperwork and signing can result in dissatisfaction for key customers.

How DocuSign Works
Security and Compliance: DocuSign eSignature is legally accepted in over 180 countries, including Canada and the U.S. Every DocuSign eSignature is securely encrypted and comes with a complete audit record of the transaction that is admissible in court, if needed.
DocuSign’s Trust Center also provides access to information on security, compliance, and performance.
Signing by Multiple Parties: agreements entail signing by multiple parties. DocuSign’s customizability lets you designate signers and the order of eSignatures.
DocuSign offers 5 different ways to verify signer ID: SMS authentication, Open API custom verification, request signer attachments, DocuSign ID verification, and knowledge based authentication.
