In an increasingly digitized age, many businesses are aiming to take their physical contracts online. This is where contract and eSigning software comes in. Users ranging from real estate professionals to lawyers, bankers, HR professionals, and much more all rely on these solutions to enhance productivity.
Contract and eSigning solutions enable users to add legally binding signatures to documents using either a computer or a mobile device. This minimizes the need for printing, scanning, or faxing copies. As such, users can benefit by saving both time and money.
Contract and eSigning software is available both as a standalone solution or as part of a larger contract or content management solution. Regardless of which type a user opts for, common features include electronic signatures, signing status, contract templates, document management, and email sharing.
Also, as a result of the sensitive nature of legally binding documents, it is crucial that a contract and eSigning solution provides sufficient security measures. As such, advanced security features can include audit trails, document encryption, and multifactor authentication.
