Electronic parapheur (approval workflow)

The electronic parapheur is the digital equivalent of the physical parapheur used in government agencies and large companies: it centralizes documents awaiting visa or signature by a decision-maker. Historically reserved for the public sector (ADULLACT, Pastell by Libriciel), the electronic parapheur has expanded to enterprises with solutions integrated into ECM systems (Documentum, SharePoint, Alfresco). An electronic parapheur manages: the incoming mail list, signature delegations (see delegation), multi-level validation workflows (approval workflow), and the application of qualified electronic signature by the authorized signer. The main difference from a simple signature tool is the management of inboxes (pending, signed, rejected, archived documents) and passage audit for each document. Certyneo offers an integrated parapheur accessible via the dashboard or API.
