DIY Electronic Signatures – It’s time to stop

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it – right? If that’s your attitude to electronic signatures, we’ve got some bad news for you; your DIY solution definitely needs fixing.

Look, we get it: a few years ago you started meeting clients via video conferencing, sending them documents to sign online, and storing the signed documents for future reference.

It worked. You were using lots of different bits of software and it was all a bit fiddly, but it worked.

The thing is, technology has moved on, customer expectations have moved on, fraud has moved on – so if you’re still using that home-made system you pulled together five years ago, you’re now behind the curve.

Your homemade system may have been a useful quick-fix when remote working suddenly arrived five years ago, but now you need something better. That’s because: 

• Your mix of different software platforms makes signing documents hard work for clients – especially those who aren’t that tech-savvy.
• Documents you receive have probably been genuinely signed by clients, but you can never really be sure.
• The choice of different meeting software out there means you’re either using multiple platforms, or asking clients to download the one you use.
• You’re saving documents on multiple machines, and don’t have a system for backing things up in the cloud.

Sound familiar?

If any (or all) of the above are true, it’s time to get in touch for a Videosign demo. Here’s why:

• There’s no software to download – just send your client a link, then meet via any browser.
• You can read, discuss and sign documents in real time via video conferencing – and our robust security features and video recording means you know who signed what and when.
• Our single-platform solution ends the debate over which meeting software to use.
• Documents are seamlessly and securely stored in the cloud.

Leaving your DIY online signing solution behind helps to future-proof your business for your clients.

The last five years have seen massive leaps forward in digital signature technology, but there have been other more sinister developments too.

Criminals are increasingly using AI to commit theft – exploiting easily-available tools to create deepfakes used for impersonation scams.

As this kind of crime becomes more sophisticated and widespread, it’s going to be harder and harder for DIY tech solutions to keep up.

Weak systems make you and your clients sitting ducks for scammers only too eager to take advantage of the holes in your security.

We offer legal compliance through use of electronic signatures that meet the strictest eIDAS security standards.
