Implement E-signature feature natively in the Egnyte platform to become more and more embedded in the customer’s business processes. We want Egnyte to be more than just a file server - something that is used for true collaboration and solving business problems.

Payroll manager
I manage agreement documents for hiring process.
I want to minimize the effort needed to manage all agreement documents send for E-signatures.
Use case
My team uses e-signature templates to send documents to new hires for legally binding digital signatures.
I use Egnyte Cloud storage to minimize the time needed to track participants and make necessary changes to e-signature requests. However, I need to replace the agreement document in the template because the company has updated their conditions, making the default agreement document invalid. I would like to retain the predefined fields for the 'New Hire' role while changing the document

Process
Process
Project Approach: The project was executed using the Agile Development process, emphasising adaptability, customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement.
Early Delivery Milestone: We achieved an early delivery milestone, demonstrating the E-signature feature's initial capabilities, providing all stakeholders an early look at the project’s progress.
Cross-Team Feedback: We actively sought feedback from various teams, including sales, competitive intelligence, product management, and others. This provided key insights aligning development with market realities and business needs.
Release: This collaborative approach drove ongoing development, leading to the successive releases of MVP versions 1.0 and 1.1 in the following months.
Refinement: The product's continuous refinement eventually led to the introduction of the highly desired E-signature templates.

Use case
Use case
My prospect customer has just confirmed the deal. I create an E-signature request using a contract template. I use features like text fields to add the final numbers on the contract. All the participants are already added, I just need to assign signature field to the customer. I am reviewing closely all fields before the request will be sent.
The next day I found out that some of the participants still did not sign the document. I am sending reminders direct to those participants from the platform. With reminders and additional messages, I am asking if there is anything I can support them with.

To create a signature request for either a document or an envelope of multiple documents where it should be allowed to add various input fields such as signature, date, text, checkbox, dropdown, etc.
Create templates for sending signature request.
Save signatures for domain (Internal) users & external users which they might have created by typing, uploading or drawing.
Track sent requests and take actions on received requests on a dashboard.
Manage requests and templates, like edit, cancel, send reminders and decline requests.
Enhance security by enabling email or SMS code based authentication for external users.
Notify users through emails and notification centre on the Egnyte platform.
Integrate the E-signature feature with Workflows. For eg., users can add E-signature request as a task as part of workflow (Series of automated tasks)
Signature request could be send to internal or external users where they can be provided roles such as “Get a copy” or “Signer” or “Approver”. The documents can be signed in a sequential order or non-sequentially. Signing flow should be responsive (accessible on mobile, tab and web screen resolutions).
Provide the capability for administrators to assign permissions to specific users or groups using role settings. This will allow selected individuals to create signature requests and manage templates, enhancing the control over document and signature management.
