“The DocuSign and VIDA partnership increases efficiency and productivity, and also ensures document integrity with biometric verification. We apply best practices and world-class technology in our various services,” said Sati.

As a global electronic signature pioneer, DocuSign has helped many businesses in automating, preparing, signing, following up, and managing various agreement documents. However, legal certainty is a very important basic element.

Benefits that Users will Get

With the integration of DocuSign and VIDA products, DocuSign eSignature users in Indonesia will benefit directly because DocuSign electronic signatures will be accompanied by electronic certificates for identity authentication.

This process is in line with industry standards that use global standards in data processing and storage. Also, strengthening the legal certainty of electronic signatures for DocuSign users in Indonesia. This is because a signed document will have the same value as a wet signature in the eyes of Indonesian law.

“VIDA implements end-to-end encryption for all data transmission, user data confidentiality can be maintained and only used according to user needs. To prevent identity abuse, our online identity verification is complemented by biometric verification with liveness detection that refers to an official national identity database.”

The partnership also opens the possibility for VIDA to step into the global arena, considering that VIDA itself is already globally accredited from the globally recognized WebTrust. However, Indonesia is still the main focus of the company at this time given the huge potential to be worked on.

“Technically at DocuSign, when choosing a digital identity, there will be options. Because VIDA is already under WebTrust, it can be raised. This allows VIDA to appear in other countries, it’s up to the user whether to show that option or not. But now our market focus is on Indonesia,” added VIDA Head of Product Ahmad Taufik.

Group Vice President and General Manager of DocuSign Asia-Pacific Dan Bognar said, “We are very pleased to announce our new partnership in Indonesia with VIDA. This partnership will support our vision of providing end-to-end solutions throughout the agreement process, and continue to be a trusted partner in e-signatures.”
