Phase One combines industry leading FedRAMP compliant cloud solutions to save government organizations 70 percent in operation and management costs while improving application security. The addition of VASCO’s eSignLive e-signature solution to the portfolio of accelerators helps Phase One deliver secure and compliant digital workflows that drive operational efficiencies and improve user experience. Recently, Phase One streamlined the U.S. military recruitment process by creating a custom workflow with Salesforce, Nintex Drawloop, Mercury SMS and eSignLive. By digitizing a process that involves 21 documents, Phase One anticipates a 20 percent reduction in delays, errors and labor previously incurred through paper, as well as an increase in the number of recruits onboarded per month. According to a February 8, 2017 report from Forrester Research, US Government Sector Tech Spending Trends, 2017 to 2018, federal government technology spend in 2017 is prioritized on improving customer experience and cost cutting. To achieve these goals, the report states, “the federal government has significantly increased its use of cloud resources and is transitioning from private clouds to the public cloud.” Federal agencies “will spend $29 billion – 33 percent of total federal tech spending on the BT [business technology] agenda in the form of software, services, and hardware for engaging with customers through online and mobile channels…” Phase One helps federal organizations achieve digital government objectives by creating custom digital workflows that maximize out-of-the-box, point-and-click, and native mobile functionalities to manage costs. Built on best-of-breed cloud solutions like eSignLive, the unique workflows also provide an exceptional customer experience and a superior level of security. “As the infrastructure for cloud services becomes more sophisticated, our goal is to help our customers assess their workflow needs and deliver solutions that address these requirements,” said Phase One Chief Executive Officer, Jerad Speigel. “eSignLive’s industry expertise and unique security features enable us to build solutions that are scalable and secure and that deliver real business value to our customers by addressing legacy business problems like onboarding.” eSignLive is the only e-signature solution to capture both a static and patented visual audit trail of the step-by-step signing process as seen and experienced by signers. In combination with its advanced data encryption and FedRAMP cloud compliancy, eSignLive adds a level of transparency and auditability not available with other e-signature solutions. In addition, eSignLive’s unified platform gives organizations the power to scale the use of e-signatures across any line of business without compromising performance or security. “Government organizations are under the same pressure as commercial organizations to improve the experience of their constituents and partners,” said VASCO President and Chief Operating Officer, Scott Clements. “Vasco’s eSignLive can be efficiently integrated into Phase One workflows to quickly deploy repeatable, scalable and secure digital processes within the tight budget constraints the Government is facing.” Trusted by some of the world’s most security-conscious organizations, including the U.S. Army, U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Census Bureau, eSignLive has extensive experience in helping federal agencies achieve digital government initiatives.
