DOCUSIGN® OR ZIPLOGIX DIGITAL INK®? WHICH DIGITAL SIGNATURE SOLUTION IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
As the traditional paper-based world gives way to digital transactions, REALTORS® are demanding innovative solutions for digitally signing and authenticating documents and forms that guarantee the signing process is secure. Avoid the pitfalls when transitioning from paper-based to digital signatures and check out the two integrated digital signature solutions from zipForm® 6.
zipLogix Digital Ink®: a free member benefit from C.A.R., zipLogix Digital Ink® offers unlimited signers and transactions. It was recently enhanced to include a tabbed interface that takes you step-by-step through the sending process. REALTORS® can also change signing roles so that clients can sign at the same time without waiting for a previous party. For information and training, visit http://www.car.org/tools/zipForm6/esign/.
DocuSign®: the preferred solution by zipLogix, offers a robust template feature that allows you to save e-tagged forms (local disclosures, office forms) for reuse. The DocuSign® mobile app also lets you send and sign from anywhere with any internet connection. New DocuSign® users may purchase a subscription inside of zipForm® 6 for special C.A.R. REALTOR® rate of $159. This subscription is for 1 year of unlimited use. Attend a C.A.R. sponsored webinar training by visiting http://www.car.org/tools/zipForm6/esign/ to register.
