LESSON 5

Elements to Consider as you begin your eSign Project

Introduction

Now that you have an understanding of the fundamentals of the eSign product, it’s important that you start thinking about and discussing additional elements that will need to be considered as we dive into your eSign implementation. This lesson will help guide you in those needed discussions.

Key Elements

  • User authentication requires Microsoft Azure Active Directory
  • User accounts facilitate the connection to remote signature based on user email address
  • User permissions determine the features and functions users can access – user groups help streamline these permissions
  • The four types of two-factor authentication have specific distinctions that should be considered early in the implementation
  • Documents are identified by document type and indexes
  • IMM eSign will send documents to the institution’s imaging or ECM system after the signing ceremonies are complete
