Signature Workflows

Digitizing handwritten signatures is the best way to eliminate paper from document workflows, while retaining the comfort, familiarity, and convenience of signing by hand. Other alternatives, such as certificate-based authentication, can work; but when it comes to important documents, most people still prefer signing by hand – especially in person.

Important decisions need consent

Other biometric authentication methods such as finger printing, and facial recognition are accurate and reliable. But they can be seen as intrusive. And, like certificates, they don’t necessarily imply consent. This is extremely important when it comes to the legality of mortgages or medical procedures.

Wacom created the digital pen and ink technology market. Our solutions have been enabling organizations capture biometrically accurate handwritten electronic signatures for decades.

Wacom signature pads and pen displays provide a digital pen and signing surface suitable for a wide range of signing environments. Together with Wacom digital ink SDKs, they create reliable solutions for multiple in-person signing use cases. These include busy environments such as shops, banks, hotels, hospitals, and offices.

Organizations can also use Wacom digital ink SDKs to capture handwritten signatures on devices from leading brands such as Samsung and Lenovo, that also use our digital pen technology.
