The integration of a handwritten electronic signature optimizes the workflow within a company and offers potential for savings when printing, copying, faxing, scanning and archiving documents. Thanks to IGEL Thin/Zero Clients and signotec signature pads, this is now possible even in centralized IT environments.

Electronic signatures and their secure safekeeping are becoming increasingly important. From a simple receipt to a complex contract – it is hard to imagine life without handwritten signatures. With the help of signature pads, handwritten electronic signatures can be captured quickly and easily in order to ensure a seamless process chain for digital documents – from production through to archiving. At the point of sale too, this unambiguous, conscious declaration of intent is now established and well accepted by customers. In the future, users of IGEL Thin/Zero Clients and signotec signature pads will be able to take advantage of the benefits of the electronic signature process.

With products from signotec the user can sign in the familiar way, sign digitally, optimize business processes, avoid media disruptions, securely authenticate people and produce legally valid documents. Electronic documents signed in this way can be checked with no technical effort required from anyone, anywhere and at any time. With signature solutions from signotec, signing remains as easy and secure as ever. However, the signature is given in the electronic document itself. As a result, the costly use of paper is avoided, while the electronic documents are protected by the digital signature and can be verified as genuine.

signotec pads in the Sigma, Omega, Gamma and Alpha ranges are supported by all IGEL Universal Desktop thin clients with IGEL Linux (LX) as well as the IZ2 and IZ3 zero client series. The function is supported in Citrix XenDesktop/App and RDP (Microsoft and VMware Horizon) sessions and as usual is part of the latest IGEL Linux v5 firmware.
