According to a foreign survey, enterprise employees spend an average of 4 hours a week on documents, financial and other tasks, such as contract signing, approval, and invoice issuance, which increases time and labor costs and directly affects the improvement of enterprise efficiency. It takes a long time to sign a paper contract, the archiving process is cumbersome and error-prone, and the high risk of official seal management actually affects the normal operation of the business. In comparison, the use of electronic signature system software is more efficient and convenient.

2. IDC survey: key issues that need to be understood in the selection of electronic signature system software
1. Does it provide an intuitive user experience?
A key factor to consider when selecting electronic signature system software is its ease of use, such as its simple and easy-to-operate interface, user-friendly web and mobile terminals, and the ability to send contracts to multiple signatories in the same session , and sign multiple documents, as well as create and save document templates, trigger the next workflow and check real-time dynamics. If enterprise employees spend a lot of time learning software operations, then there is a high probability that the utilization rate of this software will not be too high.
2. Whether it can be integrated with the existing system of the enterprise
Enterprises may deploy multiple software systems to manage daily work in business development, which requires the selected electronic signature system software to support the cloud, have powerful integration functions, and have a scalable architecture with high security and compatibility. Only in this way can we flexibly adapt to the business adjustment and development of the enterprise, and keep up with the rapidly changing needs, so that contracts can be signed, sent, and managed anytime, anywhere.
3. Can it provide a seamless mobile experience
The software to be selected needs to be able to use both PC and mobile terminals at the same time, so that document management is easier, and it can also instantly notify employees to handle contract matters at key nodes, and securely send, sign, and manage documents anytime, anywhere.
4. Whether the software has high security
In the selection, another key factor is to consider the safety factor, and the methods of safety are also different in different regions. For example, identity authentication methods, such as login verification, email, secure digital signatures supported by software and hardware certificates, and compliance certification, etc.
5. Whether it can grow together with the enterprise
For enterprises that are growing at a high speed, the input-output ratio and whether they can grow together with the enterprise should be considered before purchasing. The first priority is whether it can be implemented quickly, whether it has a good user experience and reliable customer support. In addition, it should have high security and compliance, be able to adapt to the business development needs of the enterprise, and have scalability without paying additional costs.
3. What are the characteristics of reliable electronic signature system software?
When an enterprise signs a contract, if it signs and seals manually, it often faces many risks, such as fake seals and counterfeit signatures. To verify the authenticity, it needs to use the impressions filed with the Public Security Bureau to identify. The electronic signature only needs to check and verify the authenticity of the CA digital certificate in the signed electronic document; then what are the characteristics of a reliable electronic signature system? Let's look at it in detail:
1. Security: strong underlying technology to guarantee
Security is the most important factor for enterprise users to shift from traditional manual contract signing to electronic signature. So how to ensure its security and stability requires the help of suppliers to master advanced core technologies, such as face recognition technology, identity authentication technology, Cryptography technology, forward and reverse payment to the public, etc., to reduce the risk of problems such as fake official seals and counterfeit signatures. In addition, the product performance must be stable, and the normal and efficient contract signing must be guaranteed in terms of response speed, signing time, and concurrency.
2. Compliance: certified
The electronic signature industry involves the business secrets and information security of enterprises, so the relevant government departments are very strict in its supervision, especially in the aspect of qualification review. The premise of the compliance of the popular electronic signature system software in the market is to have a formal and complete national qualification certificate, to operate within the scope permitted by the national law, and to have the certification qualification of the national authority and the certification of the international industry authority.
3. Flexible deployment mode
It can support the ever-changing business needs of enterprises, and supports deployment modes in public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud or within the enterprise, making contract storage more secure.
4. Seamless integration and docking with other software platforms
Enterprises may use multiple types of software to manage business, so the electronic signature system does not operate independently, but also needs to be connected with the existing business systems of the enterprise. API interfaces and SDKs need to be provided so that developers can quickly deploy integrated solutions. Also, consider whether there is an additional fee for this feature.
5. Ease of use: simple and easy to use
One of the biggest features of the electronic signature system is that it is easy to operate and can sign documents in real time. This requires users to be simple and easy to use, and the interface is simple and easy to use. Easy to access and use for people sending signature requests or signing contracts; easy for IT to develop and manage.
