Virus outbreak requires remote work, which means digital signing of documents



In the USA, the Service Experts service for remote hiring plumbers, heating, air conditioning, and so on is quite popular . In Russia, there are similar sites too: it’s very convenient to quickly pick up a master. Although in the current conditions it is better to nail this shelf on your own, so as not to contact anyone at all. One way or another, recently USAFact (a screening provider for thousands of companies, including Service Experts) signed a contract with GlobalSign for the individual implementation of the Digital Signing Service, which was deployed in four months - and is now valid for pre-screening all Service Experts Masters.

This is an example of how to organize the remote work of hired employees with the correct paperwork. Actual in the current situation.

Companies are switching to digital signatures because of their understandable advantages:

  • Paperless workflow. Save time, money and resources.
  • Effective business processes. Electronic signing makes each transaction a smoother process.
  • Mobile features. Interaction within the organization and with customers is becoming easier.

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) ensures integrity and authorship of each document. Time stamps certify the time of signing a document, which is necessary for transactions tied to a specific time, to ensure the impossibility of non-repudiation and to save data for audit. The entire document management system with digital signatures must comply with the necessary requirements in force in the country of jurisdiction, as well as in countries where partners and clients work.

Digital Signing Service (DSS) is a scalable platform with API support for the rapid deployment of digital signatures, which provides:

  • Digitally hash any document or digital transaction in PKI setup
  • Signature Certificate Issue
  • Support for AATL and Microsoft Root
  • HSM-based private key storage
  • ,
  • , eIDAS

Cloud service greatly simplifies the deployment of a document management system with support for digital signatures. All operations just go through the API.



Returning to Service Experts, she recently launched a new offering designed to streamline customer service. But this required the ability to create reliable contracts at home customers. Service Experts, together with USAFact, developed a web application that guided the service seller through various calculations, allowing you to enter the necessary information before creating a PDF file that can be signed electronically and recorded. When it became apparent that the initial solution was not reliable, USAFact began to search for a better solution. Ultimately, she chose GlobalSign for an individual digital signature application.

Following the completion of the Service Experts pilot program, they plan to deploy cloud-based DSS in all 94 US affiliates and 600 field offices. All users can be sure that any information collected will remain relevant and safe, both now and in the future.

The Digital Signing Service provides everything you need to deploy digital signatures with one simple REST API integration. All supporting cryptographic components, including signing certificates, key management, a timestamp server, and OCSP or CRL, are provided in a single API call with minimal development and no local management equipment.
