Saves time and paper but needs a process flow element
The solution is for an account management system where we have to sign off on budgets. The office will do due diligence, prepare documents, and have the project manager counter-sign documents.  This speeds up the sign-off process.  This is paperless. People do not have to meet in a central…

Free to use for those signing, reliable, and great for digital signatures
I'm not sure if you can download the signed documentation. They should ensure that every company can accept it. I'm not sure if all companies use it. Often, you need to convert it to Adobe before you can email it. I'd like to see something that helps artists to digitalize their work and upload it online. If a user decides to print work, it should be traceable or signed so you can see who is taking it and using your work without your permission. It would help you protect yourself and your work. Digital signatures that act like a watermark on digital work would be a game-changer. It would be useful if the solution were available on the cloud for free until you need to do something with it.
