Electronic signature integrated into the document management system by agorum

inSign now available as an extension in agorum core pro

The document management system (DMS) developed by agorum is modular and adapts flexibly to each customer’s individual requirements. A wide range of modules and plug-ins enables business processes to be digitised with precision and efficiency. inSign as an additional module also allows signatures to be obtained directly within the system ensuring that workflows remain fully digital and sustainable. In the following interview, Anne Klein, member of the management board and CFO, discusses the collaboration with inSign.

How did you first learn about our electronic signature solution?

“At agorum®, we are constantly seeking innovative solutions that deliver genuine added value for our customers. During our research into a reliable and secure electronic signature solution, we were frequently approached by customers and partners asking how digital signatures could be seamlessly integrated into our workflows. This feedback prompted us to explore the market more closely. inSign stood out in particular, not only due to its many positive reviews but also because of its widespread adoption and robust functionality.”

What convinced you to integrate inSign into your software solution?

“Our decision to choose inSign was based on several factors. We were particularly impressed by its ease of use combined with the highest security standards. inSign meets all legal requirements, including GDPR compliance, and its flexible interfaces enable seamless integration into our digital toolkit solution, agorum core pro. We also value the ability to offer all types of signatures—from simple to qualified electronic signatures—allowing us to provide our customers with a comprehensive and future-proof solution.”

How long did the integration project take?

“Our integration project with inSign was well structured and implemented efficiently. The actual development time for the plug-in was around six weeks, divided into three sprints. We began with a proof of concept (PoC) to evaluate the possibilities for signature placement, followed by an assessment of inSign’s REST interfaces to define the scope of functionality. After successful implementation and automated testing, the plug-in was made available within our system.”

How do agorum® customers benefit from the partnership with inSign?

“Our customers benefit in many ways from the integration of inSign. Documents and contracts can be signed electronically directly within agorum core pro—quickly, securely and in compliance with GDPR. This not only saves time and reduces paper consumption but also significantly accelerates workflows. With inSign, users can trigger simple signatures via right-click actions or seamlessly integrate complex signing processes into their workflows. Once completed, the signed documents are stored in an audit-proof manner within agorum core—without any media disruption.”

How have you found the collaboration with us so far?

“Working with inSign has been collaborative and goal-oriented from the outset. Whenever we had questions, a knowledgeable contact was always available to support us quickly and comprehensively. This professional communication and close cooperation played a key role in the successful completion of the integration project.”

The comprehensive documentation and intuitive user interface also ensure that both we and our customers can get the most out of the solution.”

Who would you recommend the electronic signature solution to?
