Boosting signing speed
Clearly, having your documents signed digitally means that it will become faster than ever. This can reflect on many of your processes, making them more efficient, as you can do the signing everywhere and not at the office.

Legal compliance
One of the best things about digital signatures is that they are becoming more legal compliant in more countries. You can refer to your country’s specific regulations for more information about using it legally.
The European Union for example has the eIDAS stating clear regulations regarding digital signatures and their legal disputes.
Improved security over traditional signatures
Digital signatures can be more secure than traditional ones in many ways. In one way, they reduce the risk of adding a page or removing one from agreement, as a digital document can be altered like a physical one.
Encryption techniques used with it also improve the integrity and security of documents and signatures. As even if a security breach happens, encryption is another layer that hackers would have to face.
Cost savings
There is no business without the need of cutting down costs, and digital signatures can help businesses with this. Instead of purchasing equipment, papers, ink, and so on, digital signatures only need reliable software. This is clearly non-comparable in terms of cost to paperwork.
