Portrait Frank Harter

Frank Harter, unser neuer Area Vice President DACH, berichtet über seine neue Rolle und das Potential der elektronischen Signatur

Wir stehen vor einer großen Chance, Docusign noch bekannter zu machen

Die digitale Transformation fängt da an, wo Unternehmen einen echten Nutzen aus einem neuen Tool oder Service ziehen. Dass das in jeder Hinsicht auf die elektronische Signatur und das digitale Dokumentenmanagement von Docusign zutrifft, war für mich schon bei der ersten Anwendung klar. So ist es für mich eine große Ehre, endlich selbst Teil des digitalen Wandels zu sein, den Docusign für seine Kunden vorantreibt. Wir stehen vor einer großen Chance, Docusign im deutschsprachigen Markt noch bekannter zu machen und Unternehmen klarzumachen, wie schnell sie mit der elektronischen Signatur die Digitalisierung wirklich vorantreiben können.

Als Sales Manager Discrete Industries bei SAP habe ich Docusign nicht nur als tägliches Tool geschätzt, sondern auch als Partner. Ich habe schnell gemerkt, dass ich Verträge in Papierform niemals so schnell zum Abschluss gebracht hätte. Das beschleunigt das Geschäft ungemein und sorgt letztendlich auch für Zusatzgeschäft. Mit meinen eigenen Erfahrungen im Umgang mit der elektronischen Signatur kann ich meine Kunden umso mehr von ihrem Nutzen überzeugen und ihnen zeigen, wie schnell sie einen Return on Investment mit dieser Lösung erhalten.

Verträge beruhen auf Vertrauen

Ein Vertrag ist letztlich vor allem ein Vertrauensbeweis zwischen zwei Parteien. Der Startschuss in etwas Neues – sei es das neue Haus, ein neuer Job oder ein Geschäftsvertrag. Warum die Dokumentation dieses Vertrauens unbedingt auf Papier gedruckt sein muss – dafür sehe ich keinen Grund. Im Gegenteil: Ich vertraue meine Beziehungen einer Lösung an, die mir absolute Sicherheit und Legalität garantiert. Docusign war schon bei meiner Arbeit für SAP ein vertrauenswürdiger Partner, mit dem ich Geschäftsbeziehungen sicher beginnen und dokumentieren konnte.

Ich bin überzeugt, dass gerade deshalb die elektronische Signatur viel Potential hat auf dem Markt. Weil in der momentanen Digitalisierungswelle das Bedürfnis nach einer vertrauenswürdigen und gleichzeitig einfachen Lösung hoch ist. Beides vereint die digitale Unterschrift und das Vertragsmanagement von Docusign.

Der Geist der Digitalisierung

Von Docusign überzeugt hat mich nicht nur das Produkt, auch das Unternehmen selbst. Ich bin begeistert von dem Teamgeist und den Wachstumsperspektiven bei Docusign. Gleich bei meinem Start in San Francisco habe ich gemerkt: Hier will jeder vorankommen. Alle wollen das Produkt immer besser machen und sind unglaublich kundenorientiert. Genau diesen Spirit möchte ich auch mit zu meinen Kunden und Interessenten nehmen. Ich möchte ihnen zeigen, wie Docusign sie in ihrer Digitalisierung voranbringt.

Eine Unterschrift ist immer der Start in etwas Neues. Sie bringt etwas voran. Für mich ist die elektronische Signatur der Startschuss in einen neuen Karriereabschnitt mit einem Produkt und einem Team, dass mich begeistert.

    You may notice when on Docusign’s website that a green padlock sits in front of the URL at the top of your browser. This is a visual cue that our website is secure thanks to SSL certificates, and it’s one that savvy consumers look for when doing business online. SSL certificates play an important role at Docusign, and they should be a part of your data privacy efforts too. Find out more about what they are, what they do, and how you can obtain them, with our SSL FAQs, below. What is an SSL Certificate? SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, and SSL certificates are also known as digital certificates. An SSL certificate creates a secure link between a website and a visitor's browser. It ensures that all data passed between the two remains private and secure. There are three types of SSL certificate: Extended Validation (EV SSL), Organisation Validated (OV SSL) and Domain Validated (DV SSL). There are also what is known as wildcard certificates, used to extend SSL encryption to subdomains. Why do companies need an SSL Certificate? SSL certificates establish trust between you and your customer. To obtain an SSL Certificate, the purchasing company's identity must be authenticated. With this safeguard in place, customers know that your business is not only legitimate but that it's safe to do business with you online. If you want to accept credit card information on your website, for example, then you will need to comply with Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards. One of the PCI requirements is using an SSL certificate. SSL certificates also help to prevent you and your customers from suffering a phishing attack. Phishing emails aim to impersonate your website for criminal gain. As the sender cannot receive their own SSL certificate, it makes it far more difficult for them to impersonate your website and easier for them to be caught out. As a result of SSL encryption, hackers and identity thieves are prevented from stealing private and sensitive information such as addresses, social media logins and credit card numbers. Only the intended recipient will be able to understand the information being sent. What should I look for in an SSL certificate provider? The cost of a solution can often be a deciding factor when choosing any tech solution, but when the security of your data it at risk, you shouldn’t necessarily go with the cheapest option. With that in mind, these are the top factors to consider over price alone: Compatibility: The provider should have a high trust pedigree in as many commonly used operating systems, web browsers, apps and devices as possible. Scalability: The provider should also be able to handle volumes that grow with your company, as you may end up needing thousands of certificates per second to be issued. Flexibility: The leading providers offer flexible purchasing terms. Pay-as-you-go, for example, allows you to order certificates when you see fit, regardless of amount. Bulk balance models also allow you to load money into your account. Platform: Your solution needs to be easy to use, support a variety of workflows and has a dynamic portal. Support: It's important to evaluate the services and support offerings available to help you succeed. Is an account manager on-hand, online support offered, communities to ask questions, and educational resources enabling you to self-serve? Where can I find Docusign's certificates? Docusign's digital certificates provide higher levels of identity authentication and document transaction security. Digital certificates cryptography uses Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology to issue certificates based on X.509 standards to represent the digital identity of a signer. The latest SSL certificate is always available for download from the Docusign Trust Site. Do I need to update my Docusign SSL certificate? If you do not have a custom SSL integration then no action is needed. Docusign’s SSL (secure sockets layer) certificate used for our DEMO, NA1, NA2, NA3 and EU environments occasionally expires (every 2 years). When the SSL certificate is set to expire a new SSL certificate will be used. That means If you have custom API, Connect, or any other system integration that depends on Docusign’s SSL certificate then contact your IT department's network administrator to update the certificate to ensure seamless functionality.
