Namirial’s Electronic Signature Serving ESSCA
During their coursework, every student must complete an end-of-year internship at a company. With more than 2,300 educational contracts to manage every year, ESSCA decided in 2016 to digitize the administrative management of student files by digitalizing its documents, in partnership with Namirial.
With a commitment to following the evolution of technological best practices across the market and businesses, the goals of this partnership were clear: simplify administrative procedures when signing internship agreements, for both students and companies. ESSCA wanted to offer companies a solution that was intuitive, efficient, and secure for signing remotely.
Customer Benefits
- Reduced processing times for each student’s administrative file.
- Lower costs through the complete elimination of paper and time savings in administrative processing: less archiving, less filing, zero lost documents, and more.
- Optimized, simplified processes: electronically signed documents are automatically integrated into workflows, with direct consultation and viewing within the business application.
Why Choose Namirial?
As early as October 2015, ESSCA carried out a market consultation to select its provider based on concrete criteria: company stability, functional richness of the solution, ease of integration with their business application, level of technical sophistication, overall budget, and the quality of the business relationship.
The integration phase proved simple: just a few days were enough for it to go live in February 2016. Access to the online signing service, directly available from the Namirial platform, represents a high-value feature, particularly appreciated by the school’s web team.
ESSCA’s teams can now offer companies the choice of the process they prefer: staying with the paper version or switching to a digital student file, with simplified, streamlined, and secure processes.
“In less than a year of collaboration, out of 3,000 contracts in 2016, 1,995 companies decided to leave the traditional process behind and opt for electronic signature.”
Given the success of this initial collaboration, ESSCA aims to fully digitize students’ administrative enrollment, with the goal of offering a fully digital enrollment process for all students in the future.
