What is second-generation digital signing?
It is the shift from capturing a signature to controlling and recording the wider agreement-execution process.
From signature event to execution ceremony
First-generation e-signature platforms normalized sending a document and collecting electronic signatures. Second-generation digital signing asks a broader set of questions: who participated, which document revision was authoritative, what policy governed signing, whether required witnesses and meeting conditions were satisfied, who finalized the agreement, and what evidence exists afterward.
SignumEra’s interpretation
- The organizational control surface runs in Microsoft Teams.
- The business context remains in Microsoft 365, Clio Manage, or Salesforce as system of record.
- The prepared PDF and ceremony policy are authoritative for the session.
- External signers receive private, signer-specific SignLinks.
- Finalization produces a completed document and evidence package.
