The digital landscape is ever-changing, and so are the demands on enterprises, governments and trust service providers (TSPs).

At Ascertia, we recognise the importance of staying ahead by providing secure, scalable and adaptable solutions to meet our customers' evolving needs.

We are excited to introduce the latest evolution of SigningHub, designed to effortlessly deliver e-signatures with even more integration options for enterprise systems.

This new release is part of SigningHub’s ongoing development journey. It’s a platform that continuously evolves to equip your business with the best tools to manage documents, signatures and compliance. Available as a cloud or on-premise solution, SigningHub offers flexible workflows, real-time tracking and seamless integration to streamline document processes.

With legally enforceable signatures that comply with international standards, SigningHub ensures secure and efficient document management. It’s the choice for businesses aiming to reduce costs, enhance security and increase efficiency; and it’s also simple enough for individuals to easily manage documents, too.

A new look and feel

This evolution of SigningHub introduces a completely refreshed user interface. It has been designed to enhance usability and efficiency, whether you’re using signinghub.com, your own on-premise or privately hosted instance or accessing via one of the many Ascertia-approved partners.

Users familiar with SigningHub will appreciate a number of enhancements, including:

  • Designed for efficiency - Inspired use of colour and space will guide users through more intuitive interactions to get work done with ease.
  • Fully responsive design - A seamless responsive experience offering full functionality, no matter your device.
  • Improved workflow progress tracker - A new visual guide will ensure you never get lost and guide you through every step of the signing process.
  • Enhanced document previews - Clear, detailed document views at every stage of the signing process.

Accessibility and branding

In keeping with our commitment to accessibility and customisation, the new version of SigningHub delivers:

  • Customisable branding controls - A streamlined colour palette and visual aesthetic offer even greater flexibility to control the look and feel of your signing process.
  • Accessibility compliance - SigningHub meets WCAG accessibility standards at level AA, offering improved readability, contrast and responsive design for all users with accessibility needs across all devices.

Enhanced integration

The new evolution of SigningHub takes integration to the next level.

With over 250 API endpoints, SigningHub now works seamlessly with even more business systems and processes. Whether you are integrating a business application for workflows, document preparation or electronic seals and signatures - or want to automate enterprise or user management – SigningHub’s APIs make it possible without hassle.

Our industry-leading APIs opens up a world of possibilities for customers to develop highly customised workflows to get more documents signed with the utmost ease.

These new and extensive APIs provide connection possibilities, in addition to our already available out-of-the-box integrations, with widely available connector apps such as Microsoft Teams, Salesforce, Google Drive and more.

Timeline and schedule

To help you make the most of these new features, we’ll be rolling out a series of updates and resources in the coming weeks:

  • November 2024 - SigningHub partners and on-premise customers can work with their account teams to download the latest version of SigningHub for immediate access to all features across all devices. For remote signature authorisation, continue to use the existing SigningHub mobile app or Go>Sign app until the new SigningHub mobile app is available.

Throughout this period, we’ll be publishing refreshed training guides on the Ascertia Academy, hosting webinars and updating online video resources to help customers familiarise themselves with the new interface.
