GCI Power Tools for Open Text Electronic Signatures™
By Global Cents (GCI Live LLC)
GCI Power Tools for Electronic Signatures™ (PTES) enhances the capabilities of the OpenText Electronic Signatures module, providing a much more seamless integration with the natural business processes for companies in these highly regulated industries.
PTES extends the usability and scope of what can be done with the standard OpenText Electronic Signatures module. PTES takes the strong foundation of electronic signature & 21 FDA CFR 11 support found in the OT Electronic Signature module and extends it.
Details
PTES supports:
- Signing multiple documents
- Assembling multiple documents into one that can then be signed
- Flexible & complete control over:
- What document(s) are converted
- Which document(s) are watermarked
- Which document(s) are signed
- Appearance of signature pages
- Improved Robot agent processes with enhanced error reporting and recoverability
When used in conjunction with GCI Power Tools for Workflow (PTW), PTES also:
- Supports signing using mobile devices (e.g. BlackBerry®)
- Provides the ability to customize the UI for Approvers on signing steps
Additional benefits:
- The OT Electronic Signatures module assumes a one-document per one-workflow relationship. PTES allows multiple documents to be supported in a single workflow. This enables a customer’s business process to be automated without having to be redesigned to meet the restrictions of the standard module
- PTES allows dynamic identification of what document(s) to convert, watermark and/or sign. Item references, item copy references, and basically any information in the workflow about a document can be used to determine the current target of eSign operations. This can also be controlled on a per-step basis and support more than one specified document as well
- The OT Electronic Signatures module puts required information (for compliance) onto a signing page, but many times customers want additional metadata to appear on the page. With PTES, a ‘customview’ can be defined for a signing page and a stylesheet can be used to enhance the content on the page
- PTES is designed to have robust error handling and recoverability
- Approvers (Signing Users) are frequently executives who do not want to be bothered with learning a new, infrequently-used technology. With PTES and PTW, signing steps can be customized to be more usable and attractive. Add to that the option to sign via a mobile device and user adoption skyrockets.
