An e-signature is a digital mechanism used to express consent or approval legally on electronic form. It serves as a digital counterpart to traditional handwritten signatures or seals.
E-signatures offer cost savings, improved operational efficiency, and reduced need for physical document storage. They streamline contract processes, eliminate postage and printing costs, and reduce the time needed to finalize agreements. Digital storage also minimizes the need for physical space and associated costs.
E-signatures are legally recognized and authenticate the signer's identity. Authentication methods include audit trail records, passwords, social IDs, or telephone verification, ensuring the validity and originality of the document.
While e-signatures fall under the broader category of electronic signatures, they are distinct in their application. E-signatures refer to a wider range of electronic contractual agreements and carry varying levels of legal weight compared to more specific electronic signatures.
Beyond contracts, e-signatures are used as internal seals of approval for requests, invoices, quotations, employment contracts, outsourcing agreements, nondisclosure agreements, and more. They enable the digital transformation of business operations, facilitating document approval regardless of the approver's location, beneficial for remote work and business trips.
E-signatures can be created via PDF tools or e-signature services. PDF tools allow digital IDs to be used for e-signatures, whereas web-based services offer flexibility across various document types. Choosing the right tool depends on your specific needs and document types.
Implementation choices depend on the frequency of e-signature usage and the types of documents involved. For occasional use or exclusively for PDFs, PDF tools may suffice. For diverse document types, a web-based e-signature service is more suitable.
