The Challenge
The company needed a legally compliant digital signing solution covering external signatories — customers and suppliers — as well as internal approval workflows. Operating in the pharma and biotech sector, they had strict requirements around data control and regulatory compliance that a standard SaaS offering could not fully address.
Adobe Sign handled the signing process, but the team required a self-hosted, open-source platform to maintain full control over document data. Additional hard requirements included access to vendor support and the ability to process large PDF files up to 400 MB.
- Self-hosting for data sovereignty
- Open-source codebase
- Vendor support availability
- Support for documents up to 400 MB
Why DocuSeal
Regulatory requirements and data sensitivity made a self-hosted solution non-negotiable for this pharma organization.
- On-premises deployment: Full control over document data kept sensitive records within their own infrastructure, satisfying compliance obligations.
- Support quality: Responsive, knowledgeable support reduced implementation risk and gave the team confidence when navigating edge cases during rollout.
