It supports compliance and auditability when paired with an electronic signature solution compliant with ESIGN and UETA, preserving intent and retention of approval records.
Procurement, marketing managers, operations staff, and in-house print coordinators typically complete or approve Print Service Printing Requests.
Signatures from authorized staff and accurate field completion speed processing and create an enforceable instruction to the print vendor.
