Although many organizations still rely on paper documents, the trends are shifting, and the need to digitize your paperwork is now stronger than ever. Converting documents into digital formats and signing them electronically or digitally can significantly improve your operational efficiency, boost the workflow, and save you a lot of time and money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are important differences between an electronic signature vs. a digital signature, so you should think about which of these two options suits your business needs. If you need a method of approving documents for internal use, an electronic signature is probably a good enough choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if you need to prove the authenticity of a signature, or need an audit trail, you should go for a digital signature instead. A digital signature can be used in court. And while both electronic and digital signatures are legally binding, digital signatures offer tighter security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
