The successful digitisation of business processes is not an easy undertaking. Improving workplace productivity and workflows with eSignatures can make it much easier.
Paperless offices may still be some way away. However, many core business tasks have been significantly improved through innovative technologies and solutions. One of the main drivers behind these enhancements is the desire of businesses for a more productive, efficient and cost effective workplace.
Business pace acceleration is the catalyst for this change. For the majority of organisations, this is more of an opportunity than a challenge. Employees want access to intuitive tools that increase the speed at which they make decisions, share resources and communicate.
Document workflows streamline the approval process, saving valuable time and financial resources.
Streamlining workplace productivity with eSignatures
A recent article explained some of the advantages of the paperless office, including:
- How organisations can implement a strategy that achieves this goal
- Some of the obstacles faced during a digital transition
Esignatures were named an example of a “high-impact, low effort” change to business workflows. Paper-based signatures delay the signing process; time that would be better spent focusing on more productive tasks. By accelerating the end-to-end signing process, businesses can enhance the customer experience – an important consideration for any organisation.
Esignature benefits:
Time saving is one of the key benefits for adopting eSignatures. In addition there are other advantages including:
- Digital audit trails - improve compliance and reduce time spent scanning, filing and authenticating paper copies
- Cloud-based archiving - eliminate the space, cost and time associated with paper archiving
- Streamlined signing processes – enable faster signing between parties and reduce signer drop-off rates
Digitising or automating just one daily task could vastly improve workplace productivity. Perhaps your New Year’s resolution should be to rethink how your business approaches its documentation workflows. If you are considering an electronic signature solution, make sure you ask suppliers the right questions.
