Why e-Signatures, Why Now?
In 2000, the Federal E-SIGN Act was passed, making e-signatures legally equivalent to written signatures
Legal: Electronic signatures are legally binding
Tested: Industry leaders such as Microsoft, Schwab and Cisco Systems rely on millions of eSignatures each year
Secure & Compliant: eSignatures are more secure than written/fax signatures
