habilitar la firma electrónica

El teletrabajo es más popular que nunca antes y aunque sus beneficios sean sustanciales, también pueden afectar el flujo de trabajo y la comunicación dentro de una organización. Esto ocurre especialmente cuando confías en las firmas autógrafas, que retrasan el ritmo de negocios, aumentan los costos y hacen clientes y empleados frustrados.

Al habilitar una solución de firma electrónica como Docusign eSignature en tu empresa significa que puedes optimizar el proceso de firma y simplificar la forma en que tu empresa se comunica con otras organizaciones, empleados y clientes.

Es una herramienta esencial en tiempos de home office, ya que ofrece la libertad de formalizar y devolver documentos electrónicamente desde casi cualquier parte del mundo, utilizando prácticamente cualquier dispositivo.

¿Qué es una firma electrónica y cuándo se puede usar?

Puedes usar una firma electrónica para firmar documentos en línea, eliminando la necesidad de firmar documentos en papel con una pluma.

Es fácil habilitar el software de firma electrónica y usar en todos los acuerdos que tu empresa establece con clientes, proveedores y empleados.

Al igual que con las firmas autógrafas, una firma electrónica proporciona evidencia de que el firmante acepta o está de acuerdo con lo que se establece en el documento, y es legalmente vinculante y segura.

Millares de empresas alrededor del mundo, no importa sus segmentos o tamaño, utilizan las firmas electrónicas para optimizar una variedad de acuerdos que incluyen; documentos legales, acuerdos de propiedad y documentación de recursos humanos. La tecnología permite:

  • Validar la identidad de un firmante, desde distintos tipos de autenticaciones;

  • Usar plantillas, evitando el retrabajo;

  • Integrarse con otras aplicaciones y sistemas de gestión de documentos.

¿Cómo la firma electrónica facilita el trabajo remoto?

  • Mejora la gestión del tiempo y la eficiencia. Existe una necesidad de velocidad en muchas áreas de negocios, especialmente en situaciones en las cuales las personas trabajan geográficamente distantes. Las firmas electrónicas reducen la cantidad de papeleo y además permiten que recibas documentos firmados de colegas y clientes de manera mucho más rápida y eficiente. También reduce la probabilidad de errores, lo que puede ralentizar las operaciones comerciales.

  • Es conveniente y versátil. Las empresas tienen clientes, empleados y contactos en todo el mundo. Por lo tanto, es muy conveniente poder enviar sus documentaciones a cualquier persona, en cualquier lugar, para que las firmen electrónicamente. Luego pueden enviarlos de forma rápida y segura a través de un teléfono inteligente o tableta si están sobre la marcha. Los documentos que requieren una firma electrónica también se pueden enviar en diferentes idiomas, lo que significa que la comunicación ya no es un problema.

  • E segura y protege datos sensibles. Las empresas a menudo tienen que enviar información o datos confidenciales, incluso confidenciales, para su firma. Saber que puede hacerlo de forma segura es vital. Ya sea que se trate de un nuevo contrato de alquiler, NDA o contrato de venta que requiera una firma, hacerlo digitalmente significa que los documentos confidenciales pueden cifrarse y no tener que depender del servicio postal o de un sistema de fax anticuado.

  • Se acepta en juicio. Docusign eSignature permite a múltiples partes en diferentes jurisdicciones completar acuerdos de una manera legalmente válida. Las firmas electrónicas son aceptadas por múltiples leyes mexicanas y Docusign eSignature ofrece las evidencias que sirven como prueba en juicio.

  • Crea un seguimiento de auditoría. La implementación de un nuevo proceso a veces puede causar interrupciones, lo que puede ser desagradable cuando una empresa necesita poder continuar operacionalmente. La buena noticia es que la firma electrónica puede integrarse en muchos de los sistemas y aplicaciones que tu empresa ya está utilizando. Puede crear documentos en una variedad de formatos y luego cargarlos en una variedad de sitios para compartir archivos, lo que facilita su acceso.

¿Cómo puedo habilitar la firma electrónica en mi empresa?

Firmar un documento electrónicamente es realmente rápido y fácil tanto para el remitente como para el firmante. Una vez que se registre y habilite tu firma, puedes firmar, enviar y rastrear todos tus documentos desde tu dashboard.

Adoptar firmas electrónicas en tu negocio es rápido y fácil. Con los muchos beneficios asociados con la digitalización de los procesos de firma que admiten el trabajo remoto, el cambio a firmas electrónicas debería ser el siguiente paso natural para tu negocio.

    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.
