Digital transformation is pushing more companies to focus on automating their business process to be more productive, efficient and more competitive while constantly improving their products and services. Digital signatures are tools that will help handle complex processes. This article explains how Viafirma Documents uses the digital signature and how it can help your business.

We are immersed in a time where a digital transformation strategy is essential for the proper functioning of companies. This transformation seeks to take advantage of the current technology and internalize it within the system and business culture, duplicating the physical business model in the digital environment.<\/p>\n

Digital transformation is something that companies are becoming more aware of. However, there is still a long way to go, as it is reflected in the report<\/a> of ESIC’s digital economy institute. This report states that there is still an important gap between what companies and entrepreneurs say and what they actually do.<\/p>\n

As we already mentioned, digital signatures play a key role when going digital, and therefore Viafirma Documents is able to provide the perfect solution for those who seek a mobile solution<\/p>\n

Viafirma Documents: What is it and how does it work?<\/h2>\n

Viafirma Documents is a cloud-based application that allows users to sign documents digitally without having to print or scan the physical document. Depending on the device used for signing, it supports digital signatures, biometric signatures, or qualified signatures. Additionally, it does not require the implementation and management that other solutions might entail.<\/p>\n

It functions as a gateway between the company\u2019s back office and the end user. This includes the signing components, a backend for comprehensive service management, and customization of the client app for iOS, Android, and Windows.<\/p>\n

It offers several input channels for documents that need to be signed: a PDF generated by a third party; a data cloud along with a template identifier that is converted into a PDF file; a form where the necessary data is entered and the document to be signed is generated; and, finally, a hybrid method that combines the previous two (partial data cloud plus a form to request additional information).<\/p>\n

This allows documents to be signed both remotely and in person, on any device, providing greater flexibility for the parties involved in this process.<\/p>\n

The concept of the universal signature aims for maximum compatibility with as many devices as possible. This, in turn, stems from the philosophy of Technology Neutrality, which is \u201cthe freedom of individuals and organizations to choose the technology that is most appropriate and best suited to their needs.\u201d The goal of the universal signature is to put the user at the center and provide them with every possible convenience so that they can choose how they wish to use it.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that a qualified electronic signature has the same legal validity as a handwritten signature, but Viafirma also includes a series of biometric elements that can be incorporated according to the user\u2019s needs: photo capture (such as passports or pay stubs), geolocation data, official time stamp, and biometric data capture (fingerprints using devices equipped with a compatible reader for this function).<\/p>\n
