Benefits of storing your e-signature documents in the cloud

Apr 30, 2021

Business contracts, transactions, deeds, proposals all have to be signed to be considered legal. Sending these documents from one location to the other can be time-consuming and tiresome. The solution to this is electronic signatures. An e-signature allows you to affix signatures to digitalized documents electronically—it is the digital equivalent of a person’s handwritten signature. Apart from being more efficient, using an e-signature service also improves the way documents are stored and available at any time by being securely saved in the cloud.

How e-signature documents are stored

Organizing and accessing files can be a hassle. Print documents, file them in folders, find physical space to store the folders, and have the documents accessible on location only can hinder fast-paced business transactions. The benefits of using an e-signature service like Countersign include helping to store all documents with signature needs.
