Handwritten Signatures in the Digital Workflow
It is easy to understand why more and more companies integrate handwritten signatures in electronic processes using SignDoc-- Handwritten signatures offer what Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) or other Biometrics such as finger prints cannot provide:
- Signatures are a non-intrusive proof of intent.
- Signatures are culturally accepted and understood
- Signing is the most personal way for authentication
- The invisible biometric characteristics of signatures such as the different levels of writing pressure cannot be spied out.
These are reasons enough for more and more companies to take signatures seriously. Softpro's SignDoc allows these companies to trust in the authenticity and integrity of electronic documents signed with the handwritten signature.
