Consent and signature are an important part of our culture. Within the framework of the law, people can do what they want, and you cannot and should not force them to do something against their will.
How do you explain your consent in the business world? For hundreds of years, people have consented by putting a unique signature on a physical document. This writing then served as physical proof of consent to the agreement. That was in the past… And today?
A modern solution for a modern problem
We hardly use paper these days, and agreements are constantly being made digitally online. It’s fast, and the slowest part of the process is making physical printouts of digital documents for parties to sign.
Adobe Fill & Sign provides the solution to this relatively new problem. Adobe Sign is a fast, easy, efficient, and legally binding way to add a digital signature to any document. Adobe Sign already works with leading distribution systems such as Salesforce, Workday, and Apptus and complies with industry security standards such as PCI DSS, SOC 2 Type 2, and ISO 27001.
An impressive list of features
Even though Adobe Sign is simple and easy to use, it has a wealth of intuitive features specifically designed to make it easier for your employees to authorize internally and do business with customers. It offers a wide range of predefined document templates, the ability to quickly and easily create new documents, and intuitive tools for incorporating signature and form fields as efficiently as possible.
Adobe Sign makes sending digital signatures and requesting authorizations extremely easy. Requests can be sent to one or more recipients, who can sign either in parallel, sequentially, or a combination thereof. Recipients receive an email notifying them that it’s their turn to sign, and then they can follow up and sign with just a few clicks, no matter where they are or what device they’re using.
Adobe Sign also makes tracking and managing your documents easy throughout the authorization process. Documents can be tracked in real-time, with notifications signaling that someone has signed – and reminders are also sent if no one signs. This simplified electronic process means that documents can be retrieved in a flash, and the process is automatically logged.
Another feature of Adobe Sign is that it runs on a whole range of different apps and devices. Your documents are ready to sign anytime, anywhere, on any device. Adobe Sign has already been integrated into major enterprise applications and productivity tools such as Adobe Acrobat DC, Microsoft Word, and PowerPoint.
A trusted solution from the industry leader
Adobe has been a leader in digital documents for years. Adobe Acrobat has been the program of choice for anyone using the PDF format for so long now that you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who has used a computer who doesn’t know it.
Adobe is also known for its renowned and industry-leading graphics software programs, including Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, and Adobe Illustrator.
When you look at these two programs together and see the level of expertise Adobe has in both, you can immediately see that Adobe is also the logical and trusted partner when dealing with legally binding digital signatures.
It pays
Adobe Sign pricing is organized into four distinct pricing tiers: Individual, Team, Business, and Enterprise. For each pricing tier, you can see what features are included. Individual accounts are designed for small businesses with just one user, while a Team account can serve 2 to 9 users. Adobe Signs Business and Enterprise accounts have significantly more advanced features intended for 10 or more users.
The first benefit is speed and efficiency. As described earlier, you can reduce the time to signature and approval from days to minutes. Groupon, for example, increased the number of signed contracts by 11% without requiring additional staff by eliminating physical signatures.
The second main benefit is a better carbon footprint. By eliminating physical signatures, you use significantly less paper, and correspondingly, you need less storage space for all the physical printouts of digital documents made just for the sake of signatures. The bottom line is that not only does this reduce physical filing costs, but it’s now well documented that proactive measures to improve carbon footprints today also bring economic benefits. And what’s more: the environment thanks you, too.
You can sign this
Adobe Sign has been the top-rated e-signature app in the Salesforce community since 2006. It’s used by companies of all, sizes-including Fortune 1000 companies, government agencies, and financial and healthcare organizations to accelerate key business processes in sales, HR, legal, operations, and more. We’ve already mentioned Diners Club UK and Groupon. Still, other global companies like Jaguar, Land Rover, Kia Motors, KLM Airlines, Ricoh, and many other market leaders are already using Adobe Sign. It’s easy to see why top companies are leveraging the power of Adobe Sign to accelerate signatures, improve tracking, and centralize the management of signed documents.
