Keeping old contracts in a digital repository or contract management system provides numerous benefits – from legal protection and compliance readiness to operational insights and strategic opportunities.

The way we identify ourselves and sign documents online is about to change—radically and for the better. With the introduction of eIDAS 2.0, the European Union is setting a new standard for digital trust, security, and cross-border recognition.

Businesses and governments worldwide are embracing digital documentation to streamline operations and meet sustainability goals. Replacing paper-intensive processes with electronic signatures, document automation, and AI-driven document generation yields significant environmental benefits, from saving trees and cutting carbon emissions to reducing waste and water usage.

The European Union's digital landscape is undergoing a significant transformation with the evolution of the eIDAS regulation. Originally established as Regulation (EU) No 910/2014, the "electronic IDentification, Authentication and trust Services" framework was designed to facilitate secure cross-border digital interactions within the EU's internal market. This regulation has been the cornerstone of electronic signatures, seals, and timestamps across Europe, enabling citizens and businesses to engage in digital transactions with confidence.

Efficient document automation is crucial for modern businesses. Automating contracts and document generation saves valuable time, reduces errors, and streamlines workflows. With many automation tools available, deciding which platform best suits your organization's needs can be challenging.
