GlobalSign digital signature service integrated into Adobe Document Cloud

On April 10, 2018, GlobalSign announced it has joined the Cloud Signature Consortium and the Adobe Cloud Signature partner program. Both agreements provide that the signature-based service of cloud signatures Digital Signing Service is now directly integrated with the solution for signing Adobe Sign documents in the Adobe Document Cloud.

Adobe Document Cloud is a complete set of solutions for working with digital documents, accelerating and simplifying business processes by transferring all paper work into a digital secure space. This includes Adobe Sign services, Acrobat DC, web apps, and mobile apps that work offline or integrate into existing workflows. The system is integrated and works fine with Microsoft, Salesforce, Workday, SAP Ariba, Dropbox and others, and Adobe Sign (now GlobalSign) is the preferred document signing service in Microsoft applications.

The main component of the document cloud is Adobe Acrobat DC, the latest version of software for working with PDF (after Acrobat version XI). It supports a comprehensive set of functions for working with PDF documents on any device. By interacting with Document Cloud services, a unified Internet profile and personal document management center are created, allowing you to create, edit, sign, send, and track documents on various desktop and mobile devices, as well as through a web browser.

GlobalSign was the first global certification center to join both of these programs, allowing organizations to create reliable and compatible digital signatures using Adobe Sign. The cloud service handles all the cryptographic components needed to deploy digital signatures.

We have already talked about the benefits of the cloud service over its own digital signature platform , which is being created within the organization. In both cases, the signature system is built into the organization’s internal document flow, but in the first case, such integration is much easier. Out-of-the-box embedding tools and APIs make it easy to integrate electronic signature workflows into existing corporate applications and registration systems.



In the Adobe cloud, you can create, edit and annotate documents from any device, including through a browser. Built-in electronic signature service is exactly what you need for efficient paperless workflow in an organization. Here are some of the features available when you subscribe to Acrobat Standard DC or Adobe Acrobat Pro DC:

• Combine multiple files into one PDF.
• Convert PDF documents into editable Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint or RTF files.
• Use the camera of a mobile device to capture a paper document and convert to PDF.
• Sending, tracking, monitoring and saving signed documents thanks to the built-in Adobe Signature Electronic Signature service - replacing regular signatures.
• Tracking and confirmation of receipt of documents - instead of courier delivery of registered paper letters.
• Editing PDF documents on iPad.
• 100 GB storage for documents.

The transition to paperless technology assumes that different organizations exchange documents with each other in standard formats and trust each other's digital signatures. It is very important to develop common standard rules. Founded by Adobe in 2016, the Cloud Signature Consortium is an international group of experts representing industry and academia. The challenge is to develop a new, open standard digital signatures from mobile devices and through the web.

An open standard for digital signatures will make life easier for companies and organizations that are now subject to regulatory requirements for digital signatures such as eIDAS, which differ in different regions of the world.

Perhaps, thanks to open standards and cloud platforms, organizations will still be able to get closer to their long-standing goal - electronic document flow, which will save a lot of money for companies and increase their efficiency. According to IDC research, fragmented document management processes have a negative effect on all aspects of the business. Now more than 80% of documents are processed in paper form. Often, documents have to be repeatedly transferred from the electronic form to the paper and vice versa, especially when the document requires a signature. At the same time, time is wasted every time, and office workers have more than a third of their working time, instead of the main work, spent on administrative processes.

Integrating GlobalSign's digital signature service into the Adobe Document Cloud means seamless integration with Adobe Sign. Thus, organizations using Adobe Sign easily get GlobalSign certificates (after proper verification) and create signatures that automatically gain trust on the Adobe Sign platform. This simplifies the management of signatures and the exchange of documents with other organizations.
