Advanced electronic signatures and qualified cloud certificates have become a cornerstone of digital transformation. For SMEs and mid-caps, adopting these solutions means accelerating processes, reducing costs, and strengthening legal security without investing in proprietary hardware.
1. Why make the leap now?
Digitizing business processes is a necessity that helps us stay competitive. Advanced electronic signatures and cloud certificates help overcome traditional barriers such as slow approvals, document insecurity, and operational costs, offering an agile, secure, and economical solution.
| Common Challenge | Impact of Cloud Signature/Certificate |
| Slow internal and supplier approvals | Remote and simultaneous signing from any device → over 60% reduction in average signing time |
| Document loss and risk of impersonation | Custody in European HSMs with continuous auditing → eIDAS and GDPR compliance |
| Printing and courier costs | 100% digital workflow → average savings of €30 per contract |
2. Key benefits for your company
Adopting qualified electronic signature solutions not only optimizes processes but transforms the way your company operates. From agility in document management to the scalability of certificates, the benefits include efficiency, legal security, and a better experience for customers and employees.
The key benefits we highlight are:
- Operational agility: contracts, orders, or payroll signed in minutes.
- Scalability: certificates delegable by role or department without managing physical tokens.
- Traceability and legal evidence: qualified timestamp and immutable record.
- Customer experience: digital onboarding of users or suppliers in a few clicks.
3. Inspiring use cases
The practical application of these technologies is already revolutionizing key sectors. From industry to public administration, use cases show how cloud electronic signatures improve traceability, reduce time, and facilitate integration with existing systems, even in offline environments.
Three highlighted use cases:
- Industrial purchasing: purchase orders signed and automatically archived in ERP.
- Agri-food sector: certification of delivery notes in the field via mobile, even without coverage with deferred sealing.
- Local Public Administration: hybrid municipal plenary sessions with certified electronic voting.
