Business transactions are not limited
to sitting at a desk anymore. Mobile technology has increased the speed at
which we handle almost every business matter. The efficiency of our high-tech
world is evident in that signatures no longer require pen and paper. Electronic
signatures have become the new normal for signing documents that need to be
returned quickly. The U.S.
Federal ESIGN Act defines an electronic signature as an “electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to
or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted
by a person with the intent to sign the record.” This new technology is
secure, easy to use, and efficient for all parties involved in the matter. In
order to keep your transactions secure and compliant, follow these tips below
(for full compliance information, visit the U.S. Federal ESIGN Act website):
·
Online documents should be presented in the same
matter that they would be presented on paper. Documents should be in the
correct order when sent for signing.
·
All documents and data that are relevant to the
transaction should be securely captured and stored.
·
A textual or graphic statement should be added
to the signed record, reflecting the fact that the record was signed with an
electronic signature.
·
Electronic evidence should be easily retrievable
and presentable in an easy-to-view manner.

electronic signatures, view the U.S. ESIGN Act here. If you have any
