We’re changing the way businesses operate by providing them with an esignature solution!
Our customer base continues to grow and more businesses are seeing the advantages of electronic signatures, which recently prompted them to identify five major industries that have successfully adopted and benefit from using an electronic signature solution:
- Public school systems- Sertifi’s electronic signatures help maintain essential Time and Effort Certifications of the federal Title I program. Electronic signatures through Sertifi also eliminate hundreds of work hours and establish a system for document delivery history.
- Health care- Esignatures save valuable time otherwise spent obtaining doctors’ signatures and then printing and faxing important information. Sertifi’s electronic sign
ature software provides a quick return on investment and reduces overhead costs caused by the paperwork process. - National home builders- the esignature software enables subcontractors to sign documents such as lien waivers. Some builders have reported that the software does the work of two employees by streamlining time-consuming contract processes.
- Hospitality- electronic signatures substitute the costly paper process, allowing hotels to adhere to their ongoing efforts to “go green” by reducing the paper stream.
- Insurance- Electronic signatures are legally binding, assuring a signature on an online application is legitimate.
We offer an appropriate solution for various markets. “Working with clients who have such specific needs is what the company is all about,” said John Stojka, Sertifi’s co-founder.

February 15th 2012
Electronic signature solutions are still in the “early market” being used by 3-5% of all organizations. However, we at Sertifi are experienced a 300% growth rate in 2011 which could bring esignature usage to 15% of all organizations by the end of 2012. If you are still interested in esignatures here are some of the benefits you will experience:
- Close Business Faster- Signing documents electronically saves time. Saved time means deals get closed more quickly. An electronic signature solution is a simple alternative to the old-fashioned procedure of printing, signing, scanning, and faxing or mailing, which can eat up valuable time that could be better spent on more productive activities.
- Security-Signing an electronic document requires signer authentication, which reduces the risk of forgery and assures the validity of electronically-signed documents.
- Reduced office overhead costs- Electronic signatures eliminate the need for paper and a hardcopy filing system, which significantly reduces office costs in terms of supplies and employee hours spent handling documents
November was another record breaking month for Sertifi and our eSignature solution. Every metric that we track including doc
uments sent for signature, visitors to our website and time to close increased over 20% from October 2011 to November 2011. We would like to thank all of our new customers and partners in November including Chicago Public Schools ( CPS ), Orleans Home Builders ( one of the largest home builders in the United States ) and another group inside CBS who integrated our electronic signature solution with Salesforce.com.

Most of the world’s major industrialized nations adopt an electronic signature and electronic commerce legislation with the goal of expediting and lowering the cost of doing business.

Countries such as the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Mexico, Sweden, and Australia have very straight forward regulations which is process oriented. Countries such as Brazil, France and Germany also have their own unique 
requirements are more technology driven.
The goal of all the global legislation is essentially the same: to set out a clear set of criteria that, if met, deem an electronic signature the same as a written signature. Each nation has taken its own legislative approach, which requires businesses to understand and work with an electronic signature vendor who understands and has experience working with these Esign regulations.

Forrester Research is one of the leading market research companies providing proprietary research data for businesses and markets worldwide. In the latest edition of “Inquiry Spotlight”, a quarterly release on the latest market trends, the topic of discussion is Electronic Signatures. Specifically, how companies implement e-signatures, which markets are using e-sign the most, and who the major vendors in the Esign marketspace are.
Sertifi is mentioned among the preferred SaaS vendors for offering a economical and efficient way to get agreements signed fast and with very little implementation costs as compared to long-incumbent e-signature vendors who process and store documents in-house. In addition, the high costs of infrastructure and maintenance for a in-house application would make a service like this inefficient for most companies.
Regardless of how electronic signatures are implemented, the major point was made clear – implementing Electronic Signatures increases cost efficiency while saving companies time and money.
