How to eSign a document: electronic signature legitimateness for Employee Compliance Survey in United Kingdom

i can tell you as a lawyer that the biggest obstacle in large implementations of electronic signatures is the lawyer once we have a chance to go over some very basic information on the legality of electronic signatures most lawyers turn from our biggest obstacle to our biggest champions their concerns tend to be along the lines of hey are we taking a bigger risk here by going electronic than by staying with our paper processes and without exception i can say that they're taking the risk by not going electronic our customers often ask us if this is legal and what they really want to know is is this enforceable has taken several steps to make sure that we're providing the highest standard of enforceability for our contracts there are several things including encrypting the entire transaction so it can't be tampered with creating the consumer consent so that if it's a consumer transaction we're meeting the e-sign requirement linking the signature to the identity the person's signing and then sealing the entire transaction with an industry standard tamper evidence seal while the tool kit that we offer a litigator in upholding an electronic signature is different from the tools that are used in enforcing a handwritten signature these tools are much more robust and much better the tools are better because you have a third-party verification of the who the what the where and the how you have a audit trail that paper doesn't give you you have the date stamping the time stamping the authentication measure that was used all these things are held by a third party in a secure environment so that the transaction can be proven in court is the only platform that provides all of the tools that you need to make sure this is a fully legally enforceable transaction on a global basis is legally enforceable in most countries around the world today there are some countries that would like a different type of signature to be used the digital signature based on a different type of technology so we've recently rolled out support for digital signatures which means is the only platform in the world that supports both electronic signatures and digital signatures to provide compliance on a global basis when i came to this company over seven years ago i thought i'd be spending every two weeks in court testifying as to the veracity of our documents well here we are seven years later and i'm still waiting for my first day that speaks volumes about the self-proving nature of our transactions and the value of our auditorium you
