The trend in business nowadays is to try and quit as much paper as you can. The paper addiction, as you might call it, has one strong point there, which is the documents. You can switch to electronic communication, instructions and so on, but up until recently, it all stopped with contracts and other kinds of documents. And you didn’t need to print those just once, but twice or even thrice if you had several partners, employees and so on.
But what’s the thing with the electronic signatures?
In just a couple of years, the electronic signatures have become a successful way of replacing paper documents and saving trees. Even though the systems through which you can do this may vary from one provider to another, the idea remains the same.
You have to upload the document (as an image, a Word or PDF file) to the online service, then use tags for special annotations where you will need the signatures. The service will send the file to the recipients, they will sign it with some clicks, either by writing with the pointer of the mouse or with their finger on a tablet. After that, the file is sent back to you. What document signing software is there?
