Years ago, people were preparing for the paperless office revolution. It would enhance business workflow, reduce printing costs and save trees. The dream faded, however as organisations realised they still had to print and handle paper documents for signing. In time, many Councils implemented document management systems to enhance their customer service offerings. However, the shortcomings of this technology soon became apparent thanks to the demand for handwritten signatures.
These signed documents ensured Councils would forever be bogged down in paper. The need to save money, improved document workflow and integrity has become increasingly important. The result is Councils seeking the paperless office holy grail – digital signatures.
“Councils may create and sign documents electronically, then send them directly to other departments and third party suppliers,” said Mike Eyal, Director TME Consulting Limited, Australasian business partner of Algorithmic Research Ltd, a leading global provider of digital signature and data security solutions.
According to Mike Eyal, digital signature solutions need to be completely integrated with a Council’s workflow system, enhancing the security of documents within the application.
“We provide a real world solution that ensures organisations take the final step towards a total paperless office environment,” he said. “This enhances the service and solutions they provide to ratepayers and suppliers.”
