As the holiday season is quickly approaching, the American business community is waiting to see how much consumer spending will happen to spur the economy. While the amount of consumer spending is in question, one outcome is generally considered gospel-consumers are shopping around for the best deals more than ever and their primary tool is the web, shopping online comparing prices between stores, delivery options and looking for the right gift, deal, or idea. When they do find what they want they move directly to payment and arranging shipping.

And, because business people are consumers too, they get frustrated when they can’t have the same experience in their business life. While many of their business processes have been highly automated, the final steps of executing a contract or gaining formal approval degenerates into time consuming, expensive starts and stops as they have to revert to mailing, faxing or express shipping paper to get signoffs.

So, while I was thinking what to get all my family and friends this holiday, looking at what they do, need, or what would just make things a little easier, all this personal shopping led me to ask myself the question, “What are businesses doing this holiday season to give themselves and their customers the same convenience they get in their personal life?

Adding electronic signatures into a company’s business process will be “the gift that keeps on giving”. As over-used as that statement may be, electronic signatures will keep giving back to your company throughout the year by improving efficiencies, saving money, and allowing your team to close more deals faster. Your sales team will be able to get documents delivered, signed, and returned in hours or minutes, instead of days or weeks.

eOriginal’s SmartSign solutions will greatly reduce or eliminate shipping and storage costs since the entire process is completed online and documents automatically stored in our secure eVault. Plus, as an added bonus, all documents can be easily referenced for a quick find. I’m sure those responsible will love not having to flip through file after file, a gift within itself for anyone whoever has ever had to flip through hundreds of documents.

Not only will electronic signatures be a great gift for your company to implement, but an equally great present for your customers. Because your customers will be able to electronically sign your documents almost immediately, they’ll be able to quickly take advantage or your products and services, improving on customer service and satisfaction.

So all you Project Managers, Business Analysts, CEOs, CIOs, IT managers, and every other person looking to give your business that extra edge, you may want to ask how  eOriginal® can bring some holiday cheer to your business by talking with us about our SmartSign products and services.
