Solution of the Month: the SignDoc SharePoint Connector
For centuries, an individual’s signature has carried substantial weight. Signatures help seal contracts, make agreements and provide the certainty of an individual’s authorization. In today’s increasingly all-digital environments, wet ink signatures don’t deliver the same convenience as eSignatures. Electronic solutions, such as Tungsten SignDoc, are faster and more flexible. With the SignDoc SharePoint connector from the Tungsten Marketplace, you can deeply integrate electronic signatures into core workflows.
Signing a document digitally is just the first step. Once you have a signed document, you’ll need the facilities to keep it safe and refer back to it as needed. Microsoft SharePoint is the ideal solution, but there’s no out-of-the-box connectivity with SignDoc. Instead, users might need to move, upload, and organize documents within SharePoint manually.
Let’s explore how a simple connector available on the Marketplace changes that.
Connecting SignDoc to SharePoint Repositories
SharePoint provides a helpful platform for archiving executed documents and making them easily retrievable for future audits or reference needs. Relying on manually uploading documents to SharePoint means a slower process and the potential for errors. An individual might forget to upload a document or upload it to the wrong location.
Developed by SudoCode, the SignDoc SharePoint Connector is a plugin that adds document archival capabilities to the SignDoc workflow. Once a user completes the signing process during a SignDoc interaction, this plugin automatically and securely uploads the signed document to a unique folder in SharePoint. Each folder contains the document package ID and holds all the data related to that package. For example, if you have a contract requiring half a dozen signatures on three forms, you’ll find all those related documents grouped together.
Notable Features of the SharePoint Connector
Users will find that the SignDoc plugin has several features that provide convenience and flexibility. The plugin can handle even considerable document uploads—there is no limitation on file sizes, so the plugin can support any kind of upload.
The same goes for the number of documents the plugin must process to upload to SharePoint, providing ample support even for high-volume workflows. This fully configurable solution delivers real-time results, keeping your business up-to-date on recently collected signatures. Setup is minimal, does not require third-party customizations, and does not use polling.
The Benefits of Automating Signed Document Uploads
With this connector facilitating the flow of signed documents into your SharePoint deployment, your business can experience several benefits. These include:
- Enhanced confidence in capturing every signature for a given document package.
- An easy way to review and revisit documents in the future or to take additional steps with the paperwork as needed.
- A better way to obtain signatures in a paperless and electronic environment.
- No need to spend time developing an in-house solution for routing documents back to SharePoint.
