The role of ongoing IT maintenance

Digitization to simplify and protect transactions

The digital signature as a driver of efficiency and legal protection

In today’s business environment, process digitization is not just a trend but a strategic necessity to ensure efficiency, security, and competitiveness.
Companies face the daily challenge of managing documents and contracts quickly and securely in a constantly evolving landscape. Traditional methods – downloading, printing, signing, and re-uploading documents – not only cause delays and additional costs, but also pose risks related to the loss of authenticity and data integrity.

This is where the digital signature emerges as an innovative and essential solution.
Its features not only streamline workflow, by enabling remote and instant document management, but also ensure that every digitally signed operation gains full legal validity, offering strong protection in case of disputes.

With the rise of digital transformation, adopting electronic signatures means not only optimizing internal processes, but also enhancing the security and reliability of business operations.

The benefits of digital signature

Beyond simplifying operations, the digital signature offers tangible benefits:

Operational flexibility: Enables remote document signing, facilitating collaboration even from a distance.

Security and integrity: Ensures document protection, maintaining full legal validity and preventing unauthorized modifications.

Efficiency and sustainability: Reduces costs related to printing and paper storage, contributing to a more eco-friendly management approach.

Streamline processes, enhance protection

When strengthening security also saves time

In today’s digital landscape, businesses must optimize the document approval process while involving both clients and suppliers.

Conventional practices slow down operations and put the legal integrity of documents at risk.
The traditional process includes:

  • Downloading the document to be signed.
  • Printing it.
  • Signing it manually.
  • Scanning the signed document.
  • Sending it back digitally.

Not only is this process slow and cumbersome, but it also lacks legal validity.

Adopting an electronic signature solution is therefore a strategic step toward ensuring faster, more secure, and compliant processes, leading to significant time and resource savings.

FES vs FEA

Two approaches to electronic signatures

Electronic signatures come in two main types:

FES – Simple Electronic Signature.
This is based on linking electronic data to a digital identity (e.g., username and password). While functional, FES does not provide a definitive identification of the signer, making its legal validity subject to judicial interpretation and specific contexts.

FEA – Advanced Electronic Signature.
Complying with strict legal requirements (such as those set by Legislative Decree 82/05 and DPCM regulations), FEA offers:

  • Clear identification of the signer.
  • A unique link between the signature and the document.
  • Protection against unauthorized changes.
  • Long-term verifiable integrity.

With FEA, the signed document holds full legal value without the need for physical paper copies or additional devices such as smart cards or tokens.
