Digital signatures. Why? Good grief, why *wouldnt* you? Imagine the following scenario: Happy Couple A have been searching for a home for the last 10 days. The are relocating from California because they both work for Initech.
Initech is hiring like mad in the Triangle, and offering great incentive packages to any California employees who move to come work at the RTP office.
Good news! The husband has found the perfect home in Cary. But the wife flew back to Bay Area for the Friday afternoon sales meeting. The plot thickens: there is another offer from another party. It gets thicker: the wife is stuck in ORD waiting for the fog to clear in SFO. Happy Couple A really want to submit an excellent offer and they need to do it in the next 15 minutes.
Home Wiz to the rescue. He writes up the offer, and submits it to the digital signing service. Since the wife has a laptop and wireless Internet access, she simply logs in to her email program of choice, clicks on the provided email, and within seconds, signs the entire document with nothing but a mouse.
As luck would have it, the husband also has a laptop and Internet access! (In fact, as long as you have access to any web-enabled computer (sorry PDA browsers), you can securely log in to digitally sign your document). A minute later, the wife sitting at C20 in ORD, and the husband sipping a macchiato at Pheasant Creek Coffee , have both signed the 7 page document.
Instantly, the Triangle Home Wizard is notified that they have both signed the document. He then forwards along the document to the listing agent. He jumps in the car (that’s the ’speed of car part’ and drives up to the sellers.) Their offer was indeed better, and is accepted!
The entire signing process happened in minutes. Never was a pen lifted. There were no paper jams in a fax machine. Nobody signed in the wrong place (or missed a signature). The copy delivered to the listing agent was amazingly clear; it had not been downsampled, rescanned, refaxed, reprinted, reoriented or chewed on by the dog.
The pen was invented over 100 years ago.Fax machines have been around for more then 60 years.Why not try Docusign? - Flash based Docusign demo.Look interesting?
