What Security, Compliance, Legal, IT, Marketing, New Business and Risk Management Personnel Need to Know About Electronic Signatures and Handling Electronically Stored or Sent Information

Federal and state laws permit companies to complete a full range of internal and customer-facing business processes using electronic signatures and electronic delivery methods for e-contracting. More and more, companies are seeking to supplement their traditional channels with e-processes to reduce costs, increase efficiencies and improve customer satisfaction. Key considerations include determining what e-processes would be beneficial for your business, which business processes or work flows could be logically converted to an e-process, and how you manage the risks associated with an e-process.

Some industry studies and anecdotal evidence identify compliance and legal requirements among the top reasons for not adopting an e-sign process. This workshop will provide attendees with tools helpful in understanding and dealing with the compliance and legal risks that come with an e-sign process. We will explain a 6-point framework that leads many of our clients to conclude, as we have regularly, that an effective e-sign
process can be no more risky, and in some areas, less risky, than using the traditional process of paper and wet ink.

6-Point E-Process Framework
Clients want to know the risks associated with implementing an electronic signature and electronic delivery process, as well as ways to mitigate such risks. We have compiled a 6-point framework for evaluating those risks and focusing attention on mitigating those risks.

Why Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell LLP?
We have helped a number of clients successfully design and implement effective electronic signature processes. We also work with electronic signature vendors to better understand the role technology plays in an effective e-process. This experience allows us to guide clients’ multi-disciplinary teams (IT, Compliance, Legal, Operations, HR, Risk Management, Marketing and New Business) in designing effective e-processes
where the risks are at or below the levels of risks using traditional methods in a customer-friendly way.

This workshop will help attendees better understand the tactics and strategies to navigate the rapidly changing e-Business landscape, including marketing, soliciting and completing business over the internet and via other electronic means.
