Useful Information, Links and FAQs
Electronic signature capture is a technology for signing electronic document files with a handwritten signature. The use of this technology allows for the elimination of the mailing, storage, filing, copying, and retrieval of paper documents. This will save your business time and money.
In companies and organizations which process a large number of signed paper contracts and forms, digital signature capture can save millions of dollars per year in overhead costs. For example, the savings in an insurance company with 1,000 field agents can be on the order of $25 million dollars per year compared with the cost of using paper documents. The return on investment in your Topaz® pads is in the thousands of percent return.
In addition to savings in overhead costs, digital signature technology speeds business processes and improves productivity. When used with the Internet or an intranet, all of the documents and contracts that an organization uses, including customer and vendor contracts, service contracts, and human resource documents, can be made available anywhere, anytime, electronically. Today's business world revolves around instant access to information. Electronic digital signature capture allows that same instant access to legal, robust signed documents, contracts, and receipts.
Each Topaz signature pad was developed with a specific set of customer requirements in mind. When it comes to automating signatures, different applications have different needs in terms of size, cost, paper trail, LCD ink, etc. The availability of such a wide range of pad products from a single vendor, all utilizing a common set of software tools, is a powerful combination for the automation of a wide range of needs within your organization.
There are two basic categories of Topaz signature pads: SigLite® and SignatureGem®. Topaz SignatureGem pads are best used in applications where signature volume is high and/or the pad is used in a public area and as a result, there is the potential for abuse. They are rugged, durable, and portable but also reliable and long-lasting with high-performance electromagnetic pen and sensor technology. Topaz SigLite pads offer lower-cost technology than the SignatureGem pads but are still reliable and long-lasting with a patented passive stylus.
