Calculate the ROI of Digital Signatures for Your Brokerage Firm

Written by Emily Maxie | 11/27/13 2:36 PM

The digital signature market is in about the same place today as the Internet was in 1997. There’s tons of potential and a lot of hype, but there’s also some uncertainty.

A lot of the uncertainty comes from trying to determine the return-on-investment (ROI) of adopting digital signatures. Of course, digital signatures create a more efficient workplace and speed up the pace of business. But today I’m just going to talk about the savings from eliminating fixed costs of doing business on paper.

I could wow you with statistics from top brokerage firms that switched to digital signatures, but I know each firm’s cost savings are different.

Instead, we’ve created a simple Excel worksheet to help you discover the ROI of switching to digital signatures for your brokerage firm.

This worksheet will help you calculate the cost of:

      • Printing documents
      • Mailing documents
      • Faxing documents
      • Scanning and filing documents

Once you’ve calculated the annual cost of paper-based processes, it'll be easier to know if digital signatures will yield a positive ROI for your firm.
