How To Implement Electronic signature in SalesForce

SFDC is so broad, I can safely say one could spend their entire career learning, modeling and signNowing themselves for various aspects of the platform.  There's just basic  SFDC (Salesforce.com)   and then there are other areas;   Service Cloud, Sales Cloud, Heroku, Data.com, etc.The best advice I would give before even attempting to do anything "real" is to do the following;1.   Sign up for a developer account (it's free - forever)2.   Go through the http://wiki.developerforce.com/p... - examples by examples.   It's basically all there - The problem I find is that people with software developer experience try to "beat into submission" their current experience to the SFDC platform.That, IMHO why SFDC is seen as "hard to learn" - it's not that it's hard. it's just hard to mentally ditch your previous experience (or at least tweak the heck out of it).Some For-instances - *. The APEX language, even though it's "java-like" is simply not Java.*. The Visualforce language, although "HTML-like" is simply not HTML or javascript.  Further, the architecture of how it works is completely different from how thing work in typical web server environments.*. SOQL/SOSL Data queries are not SQL.   The typical scenario is, many companies that have big expensive development staffs that try  to just "pick up" SFDC, run into huge problems.  Usually involving large licensing fees (upwards of $65/month/user to $250/month)  and some completely befuddled developers....And then in come the consultants - billing out at about $250/hour (and up)Soon companies can be hemorrhaging money.   SFDC has a lot of advantages - multi-tenant architecture, guaranteed availability, mobile apps, APIs, great, friendly user interface, internationalization, JSON/RESTful interfaces, lots of extensibility, a great user community.... and lots more.  BUT- Learning the SFDC platform is infrastructure programming, pure and simple, with a lot of "clicks-not-code" activity.I've found it hard to convince  java programmers, for instance, that (s)he can implement a workflow and/or Validation rule to do what they need to do, rather than sling a bunch of lines of code into a trigger or anonymous APEX to have things done.To learn Salesforce, throw your java/SQL/HTML (well most of your HTML) experience away, and just make it through the workbooks in the link I provided above....  THEN - determine if it's for you.There are so many specific tricks to learning how to build a really robust SFDC implementation, that it can seem daunting at first.... however, it's absolutely amazing to me how many people simply have not gone through the workbooks.... It's usually my first question:   "have your developers gone through the Force.com workbook?"

The easiest way is to just talk to your signNow rep.  signNow has close to 1,000 employees that are all trained in electronic signature processes.  There is also a professional services department who can go through and give you feedback.

There is an easy and a hard answer to this question and the reason is that the question is missing some key information. Mainly, it is missing the why that could be used to find out more for the how.The easy answer is that Salesforce has tools built into that allow a transfer of the metadata from one org to the other. The metadata transfer is needed to ensure that all the objects and custom objects together with any new custom fields will be available in the new org. With transferring these in the form of change sets, you cannot guarantee that the data will load from one org to the other.The hard answer is probably in the fact that there is a reason for the question, which we do not know. One of the typical false reasons is the transfer to Lightning Experience from Classic. There is no reason why you should need to configure a new org. Sometimes, however, the org needs to be split as in companies splitting into to entities. A lot of prework needs to be spent on understanding the newco’s business process and how it should differ from the existing support in Salesforce.I know, not much information, but by expanding the question to give us insight into why the SF to SF transfer, would help me understand what you want to achieve.

Easily, as long as your company developers aren’t developer happy. What I mean by this the fact that Salesforce was created out of the need for simplicity purposes. The primary audience and people that Salesforce Account Executives and Pre-Sales Engineers prefer to speak with are business users.Ideally the best way to implement Salesforce is to remain as close as you can to point-n-click development aka declarative programming. The less actual “development” you do the faster you can design, build and deploy. Especially if your software sales people want to leverage the system as fast as possible.Don’t get me wrong, I love developers for all that they are capable of doing when I need them but, I have seen and worked with teams who for what ever reason, could not remain simplified in their rationale and developed themselves “into a box.” Which eventually all needed to be undone to advance greater business needs down the road as they say. Declarative good, tech debt bad.

Yes, e-signatures are legally valid in India. In fact, e-signatures have been recognized by the Indian law, with the passage of the Information Technology Act in year 2000.As per the IT Act, two types of signatures have the same legal status as handwritten signatures. These primarily include:(i) Digital Signatures: In this case, the signer is issued a long-term (1 to 2 year) certificate based digital ID stored on a USB token that can be used along with a personal PIN to sign a document.Note: Previously, the signer was issued a long-term (1 to 2 year) certificate based digital ID stored on a USB token that could be used along with a personal PIN to sign a document digitally. Now with Aadhaar, that complicated procedure isn’t required anymore. You can simply use signNow’s Aadhaar eSign to create a digital signature on the fly using your Aadhaar ID(ii) Electronic signatures: These electronic signatures combine Aadhaar identity number with an electronic Know-Your-Customer (eKYC) method (which includes sending an One-Time-Passcode to the mobile number linked to the Aadhaar card for verification)These Aadhaar based e-signatures and digital signatures are valid as long as they satisfy these conditions:(i) Electronic signatures must be uniquely linked to the person signing the document. (in the case of Aadhaar based signatures, they are linked by the unique Aadhaar ID)(ii) At the time if signing, the signatory must have control over the data used to generate the electronic signature (for eg: they should be able to directly affix the electronic signature to the document)(iii) There should be an audit trail of the steps taken during the signing the process(iv) In the case of digital signatures, signer certificates must be issued by signNowing Authority recognized by the Controller of signNowing Authorities appointed under the IT Act.Few of the exceptional cases in which documents cannot be signed electronically and must be executed using traditional handwritten signatures include:(i) Negotiable instruments such as a bill of exchange or a promissory note(ii) Powers of attorney(iii) Trust deeds(iv) Wills and any other testamentary disposition(v) Real-estate contracts such as leases or sales agreements.If you are looking to get legally compliant electronic signatures on contracts, invoices, quotes etc., try signNow, India’s first Aadhaar eSign solution that offers a complete fill-and-sign functionality with business workflows.

First of all, digital signatures offer a much higher security and convenience factor - most digital signature software out there comes with quite a few encryptions to keep your documents secure, there are digital trails that track every change that happens to the document (such as signature added/removed, or any other alteration), quite a few applications also show a progress bar of how the signing process is going, you can assign signatures, add remarks and stamps - all on your mobile device. There is no need to track the person to get their signature - just wait for them to sign. This is incredibly efficient compared to the ‘wet’ signatures. So, the main factors are security, speed, audit trails, process monitoring and the ability to do all these tasks on the go and on multiple devices/platforms.If you’re in the market for such an application that offers all these features and more, I suggest checking out signNow by Kdan. It’s intuitive, user-friendly and besides being highly secure, it’s a good fit for both small and medium-sized companies, individuals, start-ups and all kinds of businesses. While there is plenty of e-signature software out there, signNow stands out due to its well thought-out tools, well designed and user-friendly interface and it’s multi-platform, so there’s no need to compromise on anything.Disclaimer: I am part of Kdan’s team, and my answers might be a bit biased.
