Organizations throughout the world want to automate workflows, processes and ultimately business operations to add value to ROI. Therefore, digital documents are an important part of the business workflow nowadays. Whether it is a government organization, health care unit or an NGO, electronic documents rule the communication as well as the collaborative culture of the businesses in general. Despite all this, whenever a document needs to be signed, a physical copy is required to get a signed authorization from the concerned personnel. The introduction of paper into the automated workflow process not only increases operational costs but it also directly impacts the efficiency of the workforce. Therefore, a digital signature solution is required to attain full benefits of an electronic workflow which completely eliminates the need to print documents and get those signed.
