E-Signatures
What is Digital Transaction Management?
Digital Transaction Management, or DTM for short, is a type of software cloud service designed to digitally manage document-based transactions. DTM is not restricted to document management itself, but rather includes features including but not limited to: e-signatures, authentication, legal permissibility, as well as document transfer, certification, traceability, and archiving.
In the real world, DTM helps all types of organizations manage document-based approvals and signature processes. It speeds up transaction times by removing the common barriers present in traditional, non-digital processes and workflows. By nature of being a cloud-based solution, DTM provides services to empower companies to improve the way they work without risky and costly investments in traditional IT infrastructure.
The Therefore™ Integration with E-Signature Providers
Documents saved in Therefore™ can be sent for signing using an e-signature provider account either manually from the Therefore™ Viewer or automatically during a workflow process. The entire legal signing process is then handled by the e-signature provider. Once completed, documents can be manually or automatically retrieved and saved back to Therefore™.
Therefore™ currently supports built-in integration with the following eSignature providers:

How it Works
Manual Processing
Get a document signed from the Therefore™ Viewer.
Upload the document to the e-signature provider and select the recipients, as well as the information needed from each signer.
The signers receive an email from the e-signature provider, and can then easily sign the documents. These can thereafter be saved and indexed to Therefore using an indexing profile for fast processing.
Automatic Processing
Automatically send out a document for signing, and save it back to Therefore™, without any user interaction.
Save a document in Therefore™ to start the workflow. The document is sent for signing according to the pre-configured signing template.
Once signed, the Therefore™ Content Connector will download any completed, signed documents from the e-signature provider. These are then saved back into Therefore™ without any user interaction.
