Overview
The City of Evanston is currently licensed for Foxit eSign as our preferred e-signing software. Foxit eSign is an eSignature service providing full, legally binding, and secure eSign workflow.
Among Foxit eSign features and capabilities, you get:
- Full eSign Workflow - Just upload your document, create your template, add recipients, and send. Foxit eSign automates the workflow by sending notifications, collecting signatures from all recipients, and allowing you to track the progress of who’s signed and who hasn’t.
- Create One-Time or Reusable Documents - Create one-off documents and/or reusable document templates that can be filled out and signed by a different set of recipients each time.
- Easy to Use - Whether from the web or mobile, generating agreements and sending them out for eSignatures is quick and easy. Foxit eSign decreases the amount of “clicks” by 30-50% when you’re sending a document for signature.
- Secure - Security is the top priority when you’re sending and receiving contracts. Foxit eSign supports 256-bit encryption, audit trails, certified completion, control of visibility, and email authentication to ensure you stay secure at all times from would-be prying eyes.
- Legally Compliant - Foxit eSign meets regulations for eSignatures and electronic documents like UETA and ESIGN so you can be sure you’re in compliance.
- Collaborate - No matter the location of your team members – across the office, from home, or the other side of the world – the whole team can collaborate on any document.
