Paperless

The 'paperless' approach consists of fully replacing paper document workflows with signed digital equivalents. Beyond the operational gain (signing cycle reduced by 5 to 20 times on average), going paperless reduces the carbon footprint linked to printing, postage and physical archiving. Electronic signatures, combined with electronic archiving with evidentiary value (10 years minimum for commercial contracts), are the technical prerequisite for the switch. Dematerialisation describes the movement, paperless is its final goal.
