How to Digitize Your Business with Box and E-Signatures

Documents are the foundation of any company. While most organizations still operate in a paper world, today we’re seeing a huge desire from business to ditch paper and go digital. With the help of cloud storage and collaboration tools like Box, businesses are able to move from paper-intensive to fully digital processes that make securely sharing files extremely easy. This is transforming the way businesses work with people both inside and outside the organization.

Is your business truly digital?

While many organizations are making strides to digitize their business processes with the help of Box and other cloud storage and collaboration platforms, their processes aren’t fully digital because they fall to paper whenever a signature or approval is required. This breaks the straight-through electronic transaction, hinders the collaboration process and lets error-prone and unsecure processes back in.

But businesses need to go beyond simply automating existing workflows. They must reinvent their key business processes by selecting the right technologies to help satisfy tighter operational efficiency requirements and rising consumer expectations. This starts with eliminating paper and so-called "wet" signatures.

By adding e-signature capabilities to popular applications like Box, your business can truly go digital and help eliminate costs related to paper, boost the productivity of your workers and enhance the customer experience – all at the same time.

Financial services institutions require a lot of collaboration – both inside and outside the organization. This involves large amounts of content and stringent regulatory rules around sharing. Banks, for example, face intense regulatory pressure with stiff penalties if they fail to stay compliant.
