Electronic signature software as a cloud-based and on-premises solution
Digital processes increase speed and efficiency, but they must be legally compliant. This requires legally valid digital signatures. This is where D-Trust’s electronic signature software portiQ comes in. portiQ is available in three versions: as an on-premises solution, on a managed cloud, or as a SaaS solution. All versions of portiQ are designed to be integrated into existing workflows and meet the highest security standards.
portiQ – The e-Signature Solution and Workflow Platform for Professionals
Electronic processes must be legally compliant and transparent. To be legally binding and carry strong evidential value, digital documents require electronic signatures, seals or timestamps. The ideal solution is software that covers all requirements: the e-signature solution portiQ from D-Trust. Via the portiQ platform, you can conveniently and flexibly access all D-Trust eIDAS-certified trust services. Within the workflow, you can exchange digital documents, sign or seal electronically and, if required, safeguard documents for long-term archiving.
The portiQ variants provide options for different requirements: As a SaaS solution for smaller companies, individual teams in larger organisations or those new to signature workflows, portiQ start focuses on the classic use cases (e.g. simple, legally compliant digitisation of approvals and signatures in contract management). The managed cloud version portiQ extended is primarily designed for larger companies or public authorities. The on-premises solution portiQ local is aimed at organisations with particularly high security requirements for operation within their own IT infrastructure.

FAQ: frequently asked questions about portiQ
With portiQ, users sign and seal individual documents or entire batches of documents via a portal or in their own application via an interface. It is also possible to invite external signatories. Workflows, forms and templates support the processing of recurring tasks. With portiQ extended and portiQ local in particular, the server interfaces extend existing systems such as document management or HR portals with signatures and seals.
As with any software solution, the amount of work required for integration always depends on the specific IT landscape and the intended use case. Our portiQ signature solution offers numerous interfaces (known as APIs – Application Programming Interfaces) as well as many other options for integrating signature and sealing processes into your existing workflows as effectively as possible.
