The implementation of the electronic signature in the management of public workers, companies and citizens has ensured the integrity, authenticity, confidentiality and non-repudiation of signed documents as well as the identity of the person signing. In this way, the validity of a paper-signed document is equated with that of an electronically signed document.
Being able to sign documents electronically brings a number of advantages that go beyond the equating between handwritten and digital signature:
paper costs such as printing and shipping are reduced.
you gain physical space because you no longer need to store stacks and stacks of papers.
they improve workflows because it speeds up the management process between the signatory parties.
takes care of the environment by reducing the cost of paper production.
it saves time because you no longer need to travel.
In 2011, the AOC introduced the electronic signature for administration staff. Since then, resolutions, decrees and any type of administrative document can be signed from anywhere and at any time. Elected officials no longer have to go to the town hall to sign the permanent folder of documents that was always on the table.
The AOC manages, every year, 140 million electronic signatures generated by the Catalan administrations.
