As a financial professional for over 25 years, it becomes more evident every day that SaaS is a strong and powerful model designed to help companies of all sizes easily adapt and adopt new technologies while growing their business.  In today’s tough economic climate, companies need to do more with less.  Companies operate with smaller staffs, attempt to limit infrastructure investments, and are continually pressured to outperform their competitors. For many, SaaS is the answer and rightfully so.

In developing and executing any business plan, so much needs to be accomplished with limited resources.  eOriginal’s SmartSign® Web electronic signature solution does just that… help businesses thrive by streamlining their processes and allowing businesses to do more with less resources in a shorter period of time.  As Controller, I have watched our company migrate to many web-based applications including our financial accounting software, payroll services, email services, marketing campaigns, internet presence, web traffic monitoring, and so much more.  

In today’s world, software providers are continually bridging the gap between desktop applications and web-based applications where SaaS was thought to be too risky or underdeveloped.  Web-based applications have reduced the need for heavy infrastructure, intensive IT staffing, eased cash flow requirements, and greatly reduced set up times.   SaaS applications can be deployed in a matter of days allowing businesses to spend resources on other areas of their business playing a key role in the business’ success.

I firmly believe SaaS applications provide some of the most powerful and efficient tools available to companies.  The savings for a larger and more complex company only exponentially grow.  eOriginal® is both a scalable SaaS provider, enterprise solution provider, and consumer ourselves of several SaaS providers.  The model works in many environments and its applications are limitless.

Using an electronic signature process results in a “greener” company…in more ways than one.  From an environmental perspective, paper has been eliminated and mailings are reduced.  There are less resources being consumed, yet more contracts are being signed.  That’s the other “green”.  Sales reps close deals faster, and customers will use your products and/or services much quicker.  Repeat orders come in rapidly, which means your company is moving products faster and your customer satisfaction levels are higher.  All of this happens because of the efficiencies gained through the use of electronic signing.

Besides the benefits listed here, upgrading your paper process to an electronic one also adds more flexibility and cash flow into your existing infrastructure.  Resources and funds are now able to be allocated towards something other than filing, maintaining or storing documents.  And, because of the increase in productivity most businesses find themselves able to move ahead in directions they thought would have been years away while using a paper process.  Faster contract close times, a lighter environmental footprint and more satisfied customers are the benefits you can look forward to when adding electronic signatures.  Actually, using an electronic signing process may make your competition turn green…with envy, if they are still using paper to close deals.
