15 years of partnership between StepOver and r>it

Both companies can look back on 15 years of successful collaboration and partnership. Through a large number of joint customer projects in the SAP environment, the collaboration has been intensified, ensuring that signature pads can be used directly from SAP® applications. r>it provides the necessary software for this, whilst StepOver supplies the corresponding hardware – the signature pads. Particular emphasis is placed on seamless SAP process integration to enable rapid and user-friendly processing of workflows, both at the point of sale, in service and logistics, and in hospital and clinic settings within patient administration.

The advantages of electronic signatures are clear – as well as reducing the volume of paper, they greatly simplify and speed up business processes whilst minimising the potential for errors. Once signed, the documents are immediately available in the SAP® system for archiving and retrieval, regardless of location. The automated, digital storage of signed documents eliminates the need for the tedious and, in the long run, very costly filing of paper documents.

Driven not least by the wave of digitalisation, more and more companies are jumping on the bandwagon, analysing and identifying situations in which documents are signed digitally. This takes place during direct contact with customers or suppliers on site, at the point of sale, service or logistics, using so-called signature pads. These devices, developed specifically for this purpose, guarantee a high level of security and require only a cable connection to the „client“ (such as a laptop or desktop PC). The next generation of signature pads, known as „NG Pads“, are self-contained and can be accessed directly via the network using their IP address, delivering first-class performance. The pad offers connectivity via both an Ethernet adapter and USB.

The companies r>it from Vienna and StepOver from Stuttgart are experts with decades of experience in the field of electronic signatures and the development of signature pads. Their customers operate across a wide range of industries – and the electronic signature solutions are correspondingly diverse. Both companies are looking forward to many more joint projects, with a particular focus on supporting SAP® customers in their digitalisation process and the introduction of electronic signatures.
