When it comes to e-signing, understanding the 'Document Lifecycle' is crucial for efficient and effective document management. The term 'Document Lifecycle' refers to the stages a document goes through from its creation to its eventual archiving or disposal. Here we break down each phase to show you how it works, especially in the context of using GoodSign.
Definition: This is the initial phase where a document is generated. It could be a contract, an agreement, or any other type of important file.
Example: A sales team creates a contract for a new client.
Definition: In this phase, multiple stakeholders may review, edit, and comment on the document before it's finalized.
Example: The sales team sends the contract to the legal department for review and revisions.
Definition: Here, designated parties approve the document, often adding their e-signatures for validation.
Example: The contract is sent to the client to review and provide their electronic signature using GoodSign.
Definition: Once approved and signed, the document is distributed to all relevant parties.
Example: The fully signed contract is emailed to both the sales team and the client for their records.
Definition: The final version of the document is stored securely, either on-premises or in the cloud.
Example: The signed contract is saved in GoodSign's secure cloud storage for future reference.
Definition: Documents may need to be retrieved for audits, compliance checks, or reviews. Eventually, they are archived or disposed of as per the organization’s policy.
Example: Years later, the sales team retrieves the contract for a compliance audit, securely accessing it via GoodSign.
