The Cantonal Hospital Aarau (KSA) introduced the eSignature solution from Certifaction in 2023 primarily for signing administrative documents. The KSA plans to soon introduce the E-Rezept Schweiz Service (for digital issuing and redeeming of prescriptions), which was co-developed by Certifaction, for clinical documents.

“By handling documents faster and easier, we can significantly reduce processing times. At the same time, customer satisfaction can be increased and an important contribution to protecting the environment (reduction of paper use) can be made.”

The challenge:

The Cantonal Hospital Aarau wanted to digitize administrative business processes and thus handle processes faster and more efficiently. To do this, they were looking for a secure solution in which documents such as employment contracts would be treated confidentially.

The KSA preferred a local signature provider from Switzerland that offers security and quality. The eSignature platform should be easy to use and cover all signature types. During the technical implementation, single sign-on (SSO) should be integrated so that end users can quickly access the digital signature tool.

The solution

KSA uses the web app from Certification. Certification’s unique zero-document knowledge technology enables KSA to sign documents with the utmost confidentiality by processing them locally and the possibility of encrypting them end-to-end before transmission. This means that, unlike standard SaaS solutions, Certification never has access to the signed documents, which is very important for sensitive medical content and payroll data in employment contracts.

In addition to the high level of security, the platform is easy to use, both for KSA employees and for invited countersigners, who can use the solution directly without having to create an account.

KSA chose Certification because the signature solution was developed in Switzerland, has a local support team and enjoys a good reputation in the Swiss healthcare sector thanks to its collaboration with HIN.

FAQs

Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions

Are Certifaction's eSignatures legally valid?

Yes, our e-signatures are fully legally valid and meet all relevant standards, such as eIDAS, ZertES, UETA and ESIGN. You can choose between different signature types that best suit your use case.

What is the Zero Document Knowledge technology and what are the advantages?

Unlike many other providers, our technology allows you to sign documents without us ever seeing their contents. Your documents are processed locally and can be end-to-end encrypted and therefore remain illegible to us (and others).

In addition, we offer the option of storing the documents in your own data center or on ISO 27001-certified servers in Switzerland or an EU country.

Is there a white-labeled version of Certifaction?
Yes, Certifaction offers a customized white-label option for partners. This enables seamless integration of your own products such as eIDs and certificates. The white-label solution gives partners complete control over the platform. As an integrative partner, we help open up new revenue streams and maximize business potential by providing customized solutions for individual needs.
How much integration work is involved?

The Certification WebApp can be used immediately in the browser. The eSignature solution can also be integrated quickly via an API connection. Alternatively, the solution can be used as a white-label product, with complete personalization. This can be done in a few weeks, depending on the requirements.

Why should I choose Certification over an on-premises solution?
Certifaction is a hybrid solution without a complex infrastructure. The connection is established via API or by installing the CLI client. This makes our e-signature solution more flexible and cost-effective than a solution operated in your own data center.
What makes Certification stand out from the competition?
Certifaction is characterized by its innovative technology and clear focus on partnerships. Our customers value us as a trustworthy European partner that not only offers close cooperation and the highest security standards, but also enables the integration of our own products through white-label solutions. This opens up new business opportunities and additional revenue streams for our partners.

Our solution offers:

  • Optimal security through zero document knowledge
  • Innovative features such as the Digital Twin (make digitally signed documents verifiable even when printed), batch signatures, team spaces (spaces with shared signature processes) and guest signatures without registration
  • Signature requests in under a minute and a smooth onboarding in just 15 minutes through intuitive operation
