Lifecycle Journey: How Digital Documents Optimize Contract Processes

Digital documents have plenty of advantages compared to paper-based alternatives. They flow faster back and forth between the sending and receiving parties, even signatures between several business partners working all at different ends of the globe are gathered within a few moments. Last but not least they also save postal and courier costs.

However, appropriate digital document solutions have to be thoroughly secured and they have to meet all different juridical norms of the countries in which they are being deployed. Thus they have to fulfill all but small technological demands.

This KuppingerCole Webinar provides information on

• encrypted digital signing of documents on the Internet
