Traditional Signature

• You create a contract in MS Word (or a comparable program) and email it for evaluation and approval.
• The reviewer or approver responds by email (approval or rejection decision).
• The contract owner sends a contract to the external party for signature.
• An external party receives the draft via email, then 1) prints it, 2) signs it, 3) scans it, and 4) emails it.
• All four steps are also completed by the internal party.

So, the traditional signature approach takes a lot of time and resources to complete the contract process.

Electronic Signature (with GCon)

• The contract owner drafts the contract with the editor.
• The contract owner assigns the draft to the approver or reviewer.
• Approver/Reviewer reviews and approves the contract through the system, which notifies the contract owner.
• Both signer get notified for signing the document, they log in and sign the contract.
• Signed docs sent to all parties.

So, the electronic signature approach takes only a few clicks to complete the contract process.
