This meant employees needed to have physical copies of<br>contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This paper-based system was a pressing concern for HCCR because employees and<br>clients work around the globe, and contractual agreements are the core of<br>HR-related operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to COVID-19, HCCR shifted all contract-related administration operations online.<br>In addition to seeing smoother back-office operations, implementing<br>e-signatures throughout the business resulted in three key benefits:1. Easier<br>contract management2. A single contract repository for all signed documents3.<br>Faster \u201cquote-to-sign\u201d turnaround times<\/p>\n\n\n<p><!-- \/wp:post-content --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading --><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why SignTime?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>HCCR identified e-signatures as a key component of successful telework, which led them to SignTime. The 30-day free trial offered by SignTime gave HCCR the confidence to implement this solution. After a month, the ease of application for the end user was clear. SignTime successfully empowers HCCR\u2019s contract management and distribution, allowing them to better serve their global clientele.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading --><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The solution<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>HCCR identified e-signatures as a key component of successful telework, which led<br>them to SignTime.

SignTime is clearly a leader in the digital<br>transformation of Japan, whether focusing on ease of use for the end user or<br>balancing the hanko-centric environment of Japan with global best practices.<br>SignTime is the ideal solution in all of our digital contract processes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore working with SignTime, our contract management process was disorganized and<br>extremely analog. However, since implementing the SignTime e-signature solution<br>we have been able to redesign our contract governance processes to more<br>effectively and efficiently manage the volume of contracts we must administer.<br>It has materially helped us to be more efficient.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>SignTime not only provides HCCR with e-signature and contract repository capabilities but<br>also a host of other related tools.

Further, the ability to<br>leverage SignTime as our secure core contract repository allows us to manage<br>contracts in a way that was previously impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading --><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The result<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Incorporating the SignTime e-signature solution has enabled HCCR to significantly reduce lead times in administering signing processes, improve document governance, and secure deals with stakeholders around the globe in a single easy-to-use platform for all contracts.<\/p>\n<p>The intuitive interface converts Word, Excel, PDF, and other types of documents to contracts so that clients, vendors, and employees can quickly sign agreements wherever they are in the world. This has benefited the business development team in particular by saving administration time so they can focus on their core functions.<\/p>\n<p>In short, the SignTime e-signature solution empowered HCCR to achieve higher levels of efficacy, compliance, and cost-effectiveness throughout all aspects of their business. As a result, the SignTime e-signature solution has been rolled out across all of HCCR Group\u2019s other business units.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSignTime has been a great solution for us to optimize our contract management operations.
