Digital signatures in your contract workflow

Connect a suitable signing service with document creation, signing and storage. Keep status and evidence together.

For: Companies and software providers with recurring contract or approval processes

THE IMPLEMENTATION GOAL

A result you can verify.

A test document completes the agreed workflow; cancellation, expiry and completed signing are clearly distinguished.

YOUR STARTING POINT

Three packages. A clear scope.

Choose the step you need. An existing assessment can provide the basis for implementation.

01

Assessment & roadmap

€499.00 one-off

One document process with up to two signatories, one potential trust service and one storage destination.

  • Technical review based on the documentation you provide
  • Written findings with prioritised next steps and clearly identified open questions
  • One online follow-up session to discuss the results

Fixed price for the stated assessment scope, including 19% VAT. Implementation and third-party fees are separate. An enquiry does not place an order.

02

Implementation & handover

Individual project quote

A jointly scoped pilot with agreed systems, examples and acceptance criteria.

  • Describe the document version and required signing workflow in technical terms
  • Connect one selected service and its status responses
  • Store the signed original and associated evidence at the agreed destination

03

Support & development

Individual monthly quote

Maintain one signing integration through status errors and certificate or API changes.

  • Technical takeover of the agreed existing solution
  • Agreed monitoring, troubleshooting and change maintenance
  • Documented handover of open issues and completed changes

Monthly price, allowance, service hours, term and cancellation are agreed separately. Infrastructure, licences and on-call support are included only when explicitly offered.

What we need to get started

  • Document type, signature level already clarified by the responsible specialists, and participating roles
  • Existing provider, storage destination and examples without confidential contract data

A description is enough for your first enquiry. We will then agree suitable ways to exchange files and arrange access.

What the scope covers

The signature level and form required for a contract must be legally clarified. Qualified services are connected through suitable providers; this does not make neurofunken a qualified trust service provider.

We check the package against your project. Your enquiry is non-binding; commissioning and scheduling are agreed afterwards.

UNDERSTAND THE TOPIC

Digital signatures: connect document version, status and evidence.

Bundesnetzagentur distinguishes electronic trust services and explains the role of qualified electronic signatures. An approval click is not necessarily such a signature. The appropriate procedure for your document process must be established before selecting a provider.
