Chronicle announces Secure Digital Signature for document signing

Collecting authorized signatures has always been a painful and time-consuming process.

We’re excited to announce a better way!

We’ve partnered with RightSignature to provide Secure Digital Signatures (SDS) directly into Chronicle. SDS cuts out much of the time it takes to get a signature processed, and it will make a real difference for you as you begin to use it.

Chronicle’s SDS integration handles work authorizations, contracts, statements of satisfaction, notices of completion, even single and multi-party checks (local bank authorization is required). In short, anything that needs a signature can be submitted through our SDS process.

We decided on RightSignature because they have a key combination of advantages:

  • It’s quick and easy — Take your existing Excel or Word files, upload them and add signer’s names and emails, and click send.
  • It’s secure — it meets e-signature law requirements, and there’s a court-admissible audit log and signature certificate.
  • It’s mobile ready — you can receive a document to be signed and sign it from most mobile devices.
  • Its low cost — A RightSignature account costs only $14 per month, or $11/month if you pay for a year’s subscription ($132).
