Undoubtedly, the Internet and new technologies are transforming everything in their path and redefining both society and the business models of most economic sectors.
McKinsey's global survey of digital strategy shows that, in critical areas of different business models, the overall adoption of digital technologies by companies had accelerated between three and seven years in a matter of months. And in companies with the most robust technology endowments, respondents say they operate even faster.
In this digital age, innovation arises in all business areas: health, public administration, human resources, finance, logistics, sales, real estate, legal, education, etc. And entrepreneurs, CEOs, managers, and leaders face significant digital transformation challenges.
Minimizing reliance on paperis one way to start implementing digitization in the workplace, and it doesn't have to represent a substantial collective change or investment in high-cost technology. It is an acceptable transformation through elements that speed up this change, such asdigital signatures.
Thanks to VIDsigner, the signing process can be integrated into the dynamics of any pre-existing process and does not affect the usual workflow but improves it. In this sense, digital signatures become a crucial instrument to enhance productivity and eliminate the need for paper, travel, and physical archives.
Types of VIDsigner electronic signatures adapted to different processes:
Benefits of implementing VIDsigner digital signatures

- Cost savings: the elimination of paper in the company represents savings that impact: costs of consumables, printer administration, energy, productivity, and physical storing.
- Efficiency: improves productivity in the work environment and in relationships with clients, who only have to receive the document electronically and sign it from multiple devices, be it the computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone, and from anywhere.
- Sustainability: the use of paper entails greater energy consumption. Through the digitization of processes, C02 is reduced, which contributes to improving the environment.
