How to eSign a document: e-signature legality for Business partnership agreement

This is Adrian Walker, I look after  sales for Northern Europe for Ascertia.   We are a global leader in high trust e-security  products for digital signature creation and   PKI solutions that support qualified remote  signing EID, e-passport and IOT use cases.   Organizations use Ascertia technology  to deliver the essential trust services   that keep citizens secure and businesses flowing. In part one of this series we looked at why   businesses should consider eSignatures  as part of their digitization journey.  In part two we're going to look at how  eSignatures can benefit businesses.  We are probably all aware of the tangible costs  of using paper in our place of work, from actual   purchase of the paper through printing costs  and the cost of distribution of the documents,   businesses spend a considerable amount of  money each year to produce paper-based output.  There are also intangible costs and these  are linked to the time used to produce,   store, and maintain these documents. How long  does it take to locate a particular contract   or agreement in a large company's filing system  for example? And is that time well spent when   the person looking for the paperwork could be  spending time on other revenue generating tasks?   Other intangibles include concerns over  actual handling of paper documents in this   covid affected world. Also the effects on  our environment from paper being produced,   printed, and distributed are considerable  - ing to a recent survey in Europe   an average office worker uses  10,000 printed pages per year   and the production of that paper generates  close to 41 kilograms of carbon dioxide!  Let's look at some positive returns  through using electronic signatures.  Time is saved in managing the overall process of  signing documents. There are intangible benefits   like seeing where a document is in the signing  workflow. The ease of finding signed documents,   and less mistakes by signers, so  saving the time of reprinting.  For the signers themselves the user experience is  simple and intuitive and they can sign wherever   and whenever they like. This allows the company  itself to increase productivity, reduce costs,   meet audit requirements, and keep a high level of  trust. For important and valuable documents these   key parameters of user experience, cost and trust,  can combine to give an e-signing project impetus. The combination and inter-working of these three  factors is a powerful triangle. By combining the   best of these ing to individual business  circumstances the e-signing project can fly! Ascertia has 20 years of experience  in delivering these types of projects   across the world. Our partner network brings  the localization and regional focused efforts   to deliver great results to each prospect and  grow with the customer to provide ongoing benefit.   Thank you for your attention you
