Aside from saving time by eliminating signing, scanning, faxing and mailing, there are many benefits of moving to an electronic signature system. Here are a few:
- Reduce Waiting Time – If you typically wait until you have a signed agreement to commence work, you can be waiting days or even weeks to get started. It’s faster and easier for your clients to make a couple of clicks in order to sign the agreement and give you the go ahead to get started.
- Save Money – Save on costs of paper, ink, and postage. Plus, it’s better for the environment!
- Provide Copies for All Parties – Once the agreement is signed, all parties receive a digital copy, which makes it easier for them to refer to it later and file it on their computer.
- Create an Archive – Many electronic signature services include archiving functionality so you have all of your active documents easily accessible in one place.
- Increase Security – Electronic signatures mean digital encryption, and it’s much harder to fake your identity when signing electronically.
A common worry for those who are not utilizing electronic signatures is that it may not be as good as having a hard copy. The good news is that an electronic signature has been as legally binding as a physical signature since the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (E-SIGN) Act was signed in the U.S. in 2000. And similar laws have been passed in every state, as well as in the European Union.
