In the fast-paced world of digital transformation, efficiency and security are paramount. OneSpan has just launched a new tool: the OneSpan Integration Platform. This solution aims to simplify the integration of eSignatures into a multitude of business applications, aiming to make digital transactions as seamless as they are secure.
The SaaS Explosion and Its Challenges
The modern business environment is saturated with SaaS applications. On average, organizations juggle about 342 apps, a number that seems to grow daily. This proliferation presents a twofold challenge: IT teams struggle to maintain security and performance, while employees find it increasingly difficult to navigate between these myriad applications to get their work done.
Traditional methods of integrating eSignatures—relying on APIs or SDKs—are both expensive and labor-intensive, demanding significant development resources. With digital processes becoming ever more central to business operations, there's an urgent need for a more streamlined, efficient solution.
OneSpan’s Approach
Enter the OneSpan Integration Platform. Unlike legacy systems, OneSpan's new platform leverages a low-code/no-code approach, allowing organizations to integrate OneSpan Sign with ease. Pre-built integrations cover a wide range of popular business tools, including Microsoft Apps, Google Workspace, Salesforce, and Workday. This means that companies can embed eSignatures directly into their workflows without the need for extensive development efforts.
“eSignatures are essential in today’s digital transformation journey, but their true value is realized only when integrated into the broader workflow,” notes Holly Muscolino, Group Vice President of Workplace Solutions at IDC. OneSpan’s platform directly addresses this need, providing out-of-the-box integrations that make embedding eSignature functionalities into business processes straightforward.
Benefits of the OneSpan Integration Platform
The OneSpan Integration Platform offers several key advantages:
Enhanced Business Agility: It provides a comprehensive automation solution for both front-office and back-office functions, adaptable to organizations of any size.
Rapid Implementation: The low-code/no-code framework means that businesses can start using the platform quickly, with minimal coding required.
Robust Security: With pre-tested integrations and built-in security measures—such as encryption, authentication, and access controls—the platform helps safeguard sensitive information and reduce security risks.
Cost Efficiency: By eliminating the need for complex integration development and specialized skills, the platform significantly reduces IT costs.
“Modern organizations require a new approach to integrations, one that leverages a low-code, no-code framework, to allow for rapid deployment and low maintenance,” says Sameer Hajarnis, SVP and GM of Digital Agreements at OneSpan. “Our new platform embodies this approach. By eliminating traditional complexities associated with API integrations, we enable organizations to enhance their business processes quickly and efficiently, all while upholding the highest standards of security.”
A Glimpse into the Future
OneSpan’s Integration Platform isn’t just about solving current problems; it’s also about preparing for the future. Supporting over 1,000 application integrations, the platform is designed to be flexible and adaptable to unique workflows. Looking ahead, OneSpan plans to introduce a self-service marketplace and BYOI (Bring-your-own-iPaaS) capabilities, further expanding the platform’s versatility and customization options.
