Process Automation & Orchestration

Electronic Signatures

Sign agreements in minutes instead of days, at the legal level each document requires, inside the workflows you already run.

Why it matters

Printing, signing, scanning and posting slows agreements down, loses track of versions and frustrates customers and employees.

Not every document needs the same level of certainty. eIDAS distinguishes simple, advanced and qualified signatures, and choosing the right one matters for legal validity.

Where it fits

In the Canon Information Orchestration Framework, this solution draws on two practices.

Process Automation

Signing as a step inside approval, onboarding and contract workflows, with every action logged.

Content Services & Document Management

Signed documents and their evidence packages filed automatically in the right place.

What we propose most often

Scrive for signatures at every eIDAS level, including qualified signatures from a European Qualified Trust Service Provider, combined with Therefore when signing is part of full contract management.

How we usually start

We usually start by mapping which documents need which signature level, then integrate signing into one high-volume process.

Signed documents flow back into document management or iManage automatically, with their evidence.

Platforms we use most in this sector

Which platform we propose depends on your process and systems. These are the ones we deploy most often here, delivered by Canon IMS under one contract.

IRIS IMS and IRIS Nederland, Canon IMS competence centres, integrate electronic signatures into document management and automation environments.

Frequently asked questions

Are electronic signatures legally valid?

Yes. Under eIDAS, a qualified electronic signature has the same legal standing as a handwritten signature throughout the EU.

Which signature level do we need?

It depends on the document and its risk. We help you map documents to simple, advanced or qualified signatures.

Can signing be integrated into our systems?

Yes. Signing can be embedded in workflows and document management, including iManage, so documents return to the right file automatically.
