SAN JOSE, Calif. -- (Business Wire)
With more than seven billion mobile devices in the world and
cyber-threats at an all-time high, demand has surged for simple and
secure ways to sign and manage documents on smartphones and tablets. At
the same time, new electronic signature regulations, like eIDAS in the
European Union, have paved the way for electronic signatures to be
adopted globally. Building on the work of the Cloud
Signature Consortium, announced last June, Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) today
unveiled the first cloud-based digital signatures built on an open
standard. Adobe Document Cloud and Adobe Sign will enable digital
signatures, the most advanced and secure type of electronic signatures
used for things like healthcare forms or mortgage applications, in any
browser or on any mobile device. The Adobe Sign preview release will be
available to customers in the coming weeks.
“Open standards propel entire industries forward, allowing
interoperability between otherwise fragmented solutions, and paving the
way for widespread adoption,” said Bryan Lamkin, executive vice
president and general manager of Digital Media, Adobe. “Adobe pioneered
digital signatures. And as the creator and champion of standards like
PDF, we are proud to have once again rallied the industry to develop a
new, open standard for digital signatures in the cloud, ensuring a great
customer experience.”
In addition, Adobe today unveiled new functionality in Adobe Sign that
enables users to create end-to-end business workflows that go beyond
signing and approvals. Adobe Sign now streamlines the flow of documents
and tasks across entire teams with solutions that are mobile,
customizable and easy-to-use. And, Adobe Sign works where you do,
integrating with the systems, processes and applications you already use
today. Now anyone can quickly and easily convert paper to digital with a
smartphone ‘scan’, route documents for collaboration or certified
electronic delivery, and connect into popular systems like Microsoft
SharePoint.
Added Mobility for Signing, Powered by Adobe Sensei:
- Mobile scan and sign – Signing and returning printed documents
is a notoriously time-consuming task. Now, using the Adobe Sign mobile
app, quickly scan printed pages and send for signature or sign from
your smartphone or tablet, wherever you are. Get a brilliantly clear
PDF document that’s automatically cropped, corrected and ready-to-sign
with crisp text that anyone can read, all powered by advanced image
processing in Adobe Sensei, a set of intelligent services that
leverage machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI) and deep
learning capabilities.
- Mobile reading and reflow – Reading long documents on a small
mobile screen can be frustrating. Now, the Adobe Sign mobile app on
iOS lets you pinch or double-tap to change text size and reflow with
five different zoom levels. Easily read every word from top to bottom,
sign the agreement and get on with your day.
- Mobile tracking at-a-glance – Add the new tracking widget to
your smartphone or tablet, and you can track and manage signatures in
real-time from your home screen, without opening the Adobe Sign mobile
app. Your most important tasks are now right at your fingertips,
helping you get more done in less time.
New Capabilities That Streamline Document Processes Across Teams:
- Advanced document routing – Go beyond signing and approvals
with advanced document routing. Now, you can ask recipients to fill
out a simple form that doesn't need a signature, like a facilities
request at work or a patient intake form at the doctor. Notify
recipients about important terms and conditions or policy updates. Or,
send for 'certified delivery' when you need clear proof that your
recipient both viewed and acknowledged a document such as a legal
notification or change of terms (available within 30 days).
- Complete online processes – Completing complex workflows,
like new bank account enrollment, loan applications or managing HR
benefits, often requires many steps and many people to get the job
done. With Adobe Sign, you can now kick off and manage these processes
digitally from start to finish. Automatically generate, send and route
specific documents for each unique situation and keep track of
everything with a custom dashboard that gives you real-time visibility
along the way.
- Work directly within SharePoint – Adobe Sign now helps
Microsoft SharePoint’s 160 million users automate their signing
processes. Add Adobe Sign to SharePoint Workflows for a stand-out
digital experience that makes it easy to request signatures from
others, track your progress and archive documents securely – without
ever leaving SharePoint.
“With so many of today’s critical business processes moving to cloud
based solutions, it’s imperative that people trust the information they
are interacting with,” said Alan Lepofsky, VP and principal analyst at
Constellation Research. “Digital signatures play a vital role in that
trust, but for them to be successful they must be a frictionless part of
the process. Building signatures on an open standard that works across
browsers and mobile devices creates the seamless experience that people
expect.”
Cloud Signature Availability:
Adobe Sign lets you work with the world’s most trusted digital IDs
today, enabling desktop signing with over 200 providers from the European
Union Trust List (EUTL) and Adobe
Approved Trust List (AATL). Thanks to the newly-released open
standard specification built in collaboration with the Cloud
Signature Consortium, customers and partners can see mobile and web
signing in action with the Adobe Sign preview release, expected in the
coming weeks. Cloud Signature-compliant digital ID solutions will be
available from the following providers over the coming months: Asseco
Data Systems, Certinomis (a subsidiary of La Poste Group), D-Trust (a
subsidiary of Bundesdruckerei), InfoCert, Intarsys, Intesi Group and
Universign. Adobe customers can contact their customer support manager
