    La clave para sobrevivir a los cambios del mercado en los próximos años es adaptarse rápidamente. Por esto, las empresas que quieren modernizar sus sistemas de acuerdos invierten en las firmas electrónicas.

    La firma electrónica es una tecnología esencial para apoyar el proceso de transformación digital de cualquier tipo de negocio, porque hace las transacciones más seguras y rápidas.

    De hecho, la verdadera transformación digital solo se puede realizar con la eliminación del uso de papel dentro las oficinas. Los sistemas de acuerdos digitales son la solución para este desafío.

    Las ventajas de las firmas electrónicas

    Ahora, vamos a listar los principales beneficios de esta tecnología.

    Reducción del tiempo

    El principal factor de suceso es la reducción del tiempo para cerrar nuevos acuerdos.

    Esto se puede percibir fácilmente, poco después de la adopción. Por ejemplo, en Salesforce, una empresa global que utiliza Docusign, el 90% de los negocios son cerrados en un día y el 71 % de las negociaciones son cerradas en hasta una hora.

    Sin tecnología, el proceso puede llevar semanas hasta meses, considerando que todos los involucrados en el proceso deben conocer, revisar y firmar los términos del contrato.

    Movilidad

    Con las firmas electrónicas, todos los acuerdos son digitales y disfrutan de la movilidad para que se formalicen.

    De hecho, se puede compartir documentos en línea y firmar acuerdos desde una computadora, un smartphone o una tableta, no importa donde esté.

    Esta característica hace todo el ciclo de vida de un acuerdo más cómodo y sencillo, además de disminuir drásticamente el tiempo del proceso de revisión.  Resultado: las ventas y los ingresos incrementan.

    Experiencia del cliente

    Ya sea para documentos personales o empresariales, las distancias se hacen cortas para que todas las partes involucradas disfruten los beneficios, con gano en la experiencia del cliente/usuario.

    Por el lado de la empresa que adopta las firmas electrónicas, la gestión de los acuerdos digitales igualmente se queda más sensilla.

    Se puede monitorear todas las actividades de un nuevo acuerdo durante el proceso de firma del documento.

    Las plataformas de firmas electrónicas, como Docusign, registran todo: quién ha abierto un documento, de dónde, cual fecha, qué hora y desde cual dispositivo, por ejemplo. Todas las informaciones son registradas y se puede acceder fácilmente para consultas legales, certificando la integridad de todos los pasos.

    Seguridad jurídica

    Además, vale la pena señalar que estos registros contribuyen para garantizar la conformidad con leyes y reglamentos de diversos segmentos de mercado.

    Y hablando sobre consultas legales, las firmas electrónicas tienen validez jurídica y son mundialmente aceptadas, incluso en México.

    Así, se pueden utilizar transacciones de PyMEs (pequeñas y medianas empresas), como de grandes organizaciones.

    Disminución de los costos

    Por fin, con todas las ventajas mencionadas, los costos también se disminuyen. Esto porque además de ahorrar tiempo de los equipos y acelerar los ingresos con las características de gestión del acuerdo, se puede eliminar el presupuesto de papel, tinta de impresora, fax, fotocopias y entrega de documentos, remplazando todo por un proceso más sencillo.

    También se debe considerar el ahorro resultante de almacenamiento físico de papel – espacio físico, carpetas, sobres, armarios y hasta los planes especiales para evitar incendios o seguridad del ambiente físico.

    Todo esto es suplantado desde que las empresas pasan a utilizar el proceso digital para firmar sus documentos.

    Entonces, para sumariar, las ventajas de las firmas electrónicas son diversas:

    • Vas a reducir los costos operacionales;

    • Vas a optimizar la experiencia de tus clientes;

    • Vas a lograr procesos más eficientes;

    • Vas a incrementar la productividad de tus equipos;

    • Vas a incrementar los ingresos;

    • Vas a ganar más visibilidad de todo el proceso;

    • Vas a garantizar seguridad, integridad y autenticidad de los documentos;

    • Vas a acelerar en tus procesos internos;

    • Tendrás validez jurídica para todos tus acuerdos; y

    • Podrás ofrecer más flexibilidad de firma desde smartphones, tabletas o computadoras.

      You may notice when on Docusign’s website that a green padlock sits in front of the URL at the top of your browser. This is a visual cue that our website is secure thanks to SSL certificates, and it’s one that savvy consumers look for when doing business online. SSL certificates play an important role at Docusign, and they should be a part of your data privacy efforts too. Find out more about what they are, what they do, and how you can obtain them, with our SSL FAQs, below. What is an SSL Certificate? SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, and SSL certificates are also known as digital certificates. An SSL certificate creates a secure link between a website and a visitor's browser. It ensures that all data passed between the two remains private and secure. There are three types of SSL certificate: Extended Validation (EV SSL), Organisation Validated (OV SSL) and Domain Validated (DV SSL). There are also what is known as wildcard certificates, used to extend SSL encryption to subdomains. Why do companies need an SSL Certificate? SSL certificates establish trust between you and your customer. To obtain an SSL Certificate, the purchasing company's identity must be authenticated. With this safeguard in place, customers know that your business is not only legitimate but that it's safe to do business with you online. If you want to accept credit card information on your website, for example, then you will need to comply with Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards. One of the PCI requirements is using an SSL certificate. SSL certificates also help to prevent you and your customers from suffering a phishing attack. Phishing emails aim to impersonate your website for criminal gain. As the sender cannot receive their own SSL certificate, it makes it far more difficult for them to impersonate your website and easier for them to be caught out. As a result of SSL encryption, hackers and identity thieves are prevented from stealing private and sensitive information such as addresses, social media logins and credit card numbers. Only the intended recipient will be able to understand the information being sent. What should I look for in an SSL certificate provider? The cost of a solution can often be a deciding factor when choosing any tech solution, but when the security of your data it at risk, you shouldn’t necessarily go with the cheapest option. With that in mind, these are the top factors to consider over price alone: Compatibility: The provider should have a high trust pedigree in as many commonly used operating systems, web browsers, apps and devices as possible. Scalability: The provider should also be able to handle volumes that grow with your company, as you may end up needing thousands of certificates per second to be issued. Flexibility: The leading providers offer flexible purchasing terms. Pay-as-you-go, for example, allows you to order certificates when you see fit, regardless of amount. Bulk balance models also allow you to load money into your account. Platform: Your solution needs to be easy to use, support a variety of workflows and has a dynamic portal. Support: It's important to evaluate the services and support offerings available to help you succeed. Is an account manager on-hand, online support offered, communities to ask questions, and educational resources enabling you to self-serve? Where can I find Docusign's certificates? Docusign's digital certificates provide higher levels of identity authentication and document transaction security. Digital certificates cryptography uses Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology to issue certificates based on X.509 standards to represent the digital identity of a signer. The latest SSL certificate is always available for download from the Docusign Trust Site. Do I need to update my Docusign SSL certificate? If you do not have a custom SSL integration then no action is needed. Docusign’s SSL (secure sockets layer) certificate used for our DEMO, NA1, NA2, NA3 and EU environments occasionally expires (every 2 years). When the SSL certificate is set to expire a new SSL certificate will be used. That means If you have custom API, Connect, or any other system integration that depends on Docusign’s SSL certificate then contact your IT department's network administrator to update the certificate to ensure seamless functionality.
