The Shift
Enterprise organizations need more than a way to capture signatures — they need confidence that signature data remains trusted and verifiable, created directly within the applications where the data is collected.
Yet most digital signature solutions still rely on costly third-party platforms, document-centric processes, and infrastructure that sits outside the application itself. That means organizations must send users, data, and signature workflows beyond the environments where their applications and governance controls reside — while taking on the added cost of another vendor and disconnected signing workflow.
For many enterprise organizations, digital signatures cannot rely on external services or document based workflows. They must be a native part of a business application within their own security and governance boundaries.
That’s exactly the problem E-Sign+ was designed to solve.
Rather than treating signatures as a separate document workflow, E-Sign+ keeps signatures where your data, workflows, and governance already live.
The result is a more secure, unified approach to enterprise digital signatures that gives organizations greater control over their data, security, and compliance — without introducing another third-party platform into the process.
Introducing E-Sign+
E-Sign+ is an optional licensed feature within the Form.io commercial platform that enables organizations to capture digital signatures and cryptographically verify them directly against submission data — all within their own self-hosted environment.
Instead of introducing another third-party signature platform into your technology stack and the additional costs that come with it, E-Sign+ keeps signatures connected to the same platform powering your forms, APIs, data management workflows, and enterprise applications.
By treating signatures as an integrated part of the application (not as a separate document workflow) organizations maintain greater control over their data, infrastructure, and security while building on an architecture that’s enabled for next-generation AI-powered capabilities.
What E-Sign+ Unlocks
With E-Sign+, organizations can:
- Keep digital signature workflows and data inside their self-hosted environment.
- Cryptographically verify that signed submission data has not been changed after signing.
- Eliminate costly third-party signature platforms and disconnected document workflows.
- Maintain ownership of signature records, APIs, and cryptographic key strategies.
- Build secure, governed workflows where forms, signatures, business logic, and AI can operate together on the same platform.
- Continue supporting PDF-based workflows when needed, without making PDFs the center of the signing experience.
Built for Enterprise. Ready for Agentic Workflows.
E-Sign+ was designed to give enterprise organizations complete ownership over their digital signature workflows — keeping signatures, data, and governance inside their business application.
As enterprise applications continue to evolve, that architecture offers another important advantage.
Organizations are increasingly embedding AI and agentic capabilities into their business applications to automate tasks, orchestrate workflows, and assist users throughout complex business processes.
Because E-Sign+ keeps digital signatures native to the same platform as your forms, APIs, business logic, and enterprise data, signatures remain connected as AI becomes another participant in those workflows — not another step that has to leave the application.
Whether your organization is adopting AI and agentic workflows today or planning for the future, E-Sign+ provides the enterprise digital signature foundation that’s already built for what’s next.
How It Works
Getting started with E-Sign+ is simple.
- Configure what data your signature protects.
- Capture signatures directly within your Form.io forms and submission data.
- Cryptographically verify that the protected data remains unchanged throughout the workflow.
Example in Practice
Imagine a healthcare organization managing patient intake and consent through a self-hosted Form.io application.
Rather than exporting patient information to a third-party signing platform — and paying for another standalone signature service — providers capture signatures directly against the submission data already stored within their application. If any protected patient information changes after signing, the signature is automatically invalidated, helping ensure the integrity of the data while keeping the entire workflow inside the organization’s own environment.
The same approach applies across financial services, government, insurance, and other enterprise applications where trust, governance, and data ownership are critical.
