Contract Signatures for Confluence
Making Sure Your E-signatures Are Legal Worldwide
Electronic signatures were in use long before the pandemic, and their legal standing has been defined in various statutes since around 2000. But they used to be a strategic asset: a flexible, fast, green, international relations booster. Then the lockdowns happened, wet ink signatures became unworkable, and e-signatures turned from an asset into a necessity. A survey of US business owners and individuals by airSlate showed that the use of e-signatures among businesses surged by 50% during 2020.
Add Signatures to Jira Issues with the New E-Signature App
Jira issues just got a LOT more exciting. These already awesome little tools for assigning and tracking work can now be transformed into quick legal contracts in a few clicks. Old Street’s newest app, Contract Signatures for Jira, makes it possible for internal and external users to add their signature to a Jira issue and formalize their agreement to the work described in it. And yes, you heard right. It’s possible for internal AND external users to sign Jira issues.
Achieving a Single Source of Truth in your Organization
Single source of truth (SSOT) is a concept used to ensure that everyone in an organization makes decisions based on the same data. In document management terms, it’s about centralizing all relevant and up-to-date documents about your company and projects so that they’re accessible from one place. Why is it important? Because if your teams are storing important documents in personal inboxes or saving them to desktops and folders that no one else can access, they’re effectively hiding information from the rest of the team.
How to Make, Manage, and Sign Contracts in Confluence
Lots of the organizations we encounter are using Microsoft Word, Google, Adobe, SharePoint, and various other tools to create, collaborate on, and store their agreements. Many of these tools don’t integrate with each other, putting teams and their data into silos. Silos that breed delays and replication in the contract management process. With so many more people now working remotely, silos are becoming harder to maintain. Increasing numbers of organizations are looking to centralize their data and achieve a single source of truth in order to alleviate the confusion and poor data quality that comes from having distributed teams spread across time zones, all working off different information.
Digitally Sign Contracts in Confluence with Old Street’s Brand New App
Confluence is already an ideal place to be creating, managing, and storing your contracts. Of course, the most important feature of any contract is the signatures of the parties. It’s not an agreement till someone agrees to it. And yet, there’s no way of digitally signing contracts inside Confluence. You’d need to export it and use another digital signature tool like DocuSign, taking the process and the audit trail outside of the platform you’re working in.
