機構在文件簽署之運作流程中，文件需要經過人手傳遞至同事或主管親筆簽署，完成整個簽署流程往往十分費時之餘，文件亦有機會在傳遞過程中遺失。現今各機構因應疫情而時有安排同事在家工作之新常態下，同工有更多機會需要為簽署文件而作出額外協調工作，如安排各同事或主管返回辦公室完成簽署流程，又或將文件待辦至有關同事回辨公室時才處理，另本來經已複雜的流程變得更加煩瑣及費時。 近年電子簽署 (Digital Signature) 之應用開始普及，因其技術已發展得十分成熟，不僅具法律效力，更可令整個簽署的過程化繁為簡。 Adobe Sign 就是其中一個被廣為使用的電子簽署工具。Adobe Sign 作為電子簽署工具以外，配合  Workflow 之功能，使用者更可透過製作不同的智能電子表單，並自行設定簽署工作流程，另整個簽署過程變得更方便及流暢。 資訊科技資源中心 (ITRC) 將於2021年3月12日舉辧「Adobe Sign 電子簽名之應用線上工作坊」，本中心誠意邀請機構同工報名參與，希望同工能透過此工作坊，深入了解 Adobe Sign 之電子審批、簽名流程、電子表單等功能，並與我們的產品專員互動交流。 工作坊詳情如下： 日期︰  2021 年 3 月 12 日（星期五） 時間︰  下午 3時正至4正 形式︰  ZOOM 網上會議 (會議連結將於3月11日以電郵發放給已報名的人士) 語言︰  粵語 費用︰  全免 對象︰  社會服務機構同工 請按此進入網上報名登記   * 已報名同工將收到登記確認電郵。如有查詢，歡迎致電 2922-9290 或電郵至  [email protected] 聯絡鄭小姐。 ...
