Signature Workflows

Trusted & Digital

People prefer signing important documents by hand. But capturing handwritten signatures on paper breaks digital document workflows. Wacom technology fixes that problem, securely and permanently.
Workflows need signatures, not paper

Every organization needs decision authorization processes. Many of these processes depend upon document workflows that require a handwritten signature for final decision approval. These signatures represent a reliable and familiar authentication method that also indicates consent, because signing by hand is a deliberate physical act.

Stop paying for paper


However, while these workflows are now mostly digital, the signatures are often still captured on paper. Paper generates significant cost in terms of purchasing, printing, management, storage, and disposal. It also slows down the processes that rely on those workflows.

Natural digital signing

Digitizing handwritten signatures is the best way to eliminate paper from document workflows, while retaining the comfort, familiarity, and convenience of signing by hand. Other alternatives, such as certificate-based authentication, can work; but when it comes to important documents, most people still prefer signing by hand – especially in person.

Important decisions need consent


Other biometric authentication methods such as finger printing, and facial recognition are accurate and reliable. But they can be seen as intrusive. And, like certificates, they don’t necessarily imply consent. This is extremely important when it comes to the legality of mortgages or medical procedures.

Verifiably Secure

Handwritten electronic signatures are unique in that the physical act of signing provides proof of person and proof of consent in one. This provides security to the signatory and the document owner. Wacom SDK for verification ensures this by enabling the biometric data captured within the signature to be verified in real time or after the fact.
