What if you could offer SMB customers a compliant digital document lifecycle solution from signature, to secure access, resilient storage, and scalable archival?
You can, with Crayon! In this article, we’ll outline how partners can bring Signiflow, Delinea, Acronis and Wasabi together to meet this growing need.
In an era of hybrid and mobile work, the use of eSignatures has grown to support field sales and service activity whilst providing customer convenience. Solution adoption data from our recent independent study of SMB operations in the region shows 49% of SMBs have already implemented eSignatures with a further 33% intending to do so between within the next 24 months.
At the same time, as data regulations tighten, eSignatures are often the first link in an increasingly complex workflow chain that demands end-to-end security and compliance.
SMBs in the region have a heightened level of awareness around the risks associated with security gaps and compliance gaps in their operations.
This can be seen in the high-to-critical business and IT objectives identified in in the study, highlighted in the graph below.
Add to this that:
The data all points to the need for a streamlined, secure and resilient solution that combines eSignature, identity access, secure backup, and scalable storage technologies.
Obtaining a digital signature on any binding document is only the beginning of the process, especially for SMBs operating in regulated sectors such as education, legal and financial services and healthcare. Signed documents must also be:
By combining offerings from within Crayon’s portfolio, partners can design a layered solution to achieve those outcomes:
The result? SMBs gain a full compliance posture around their document and contract workflows—without adding unnecessary complexity.
Each vendor in this solution stack is API-first, cloud-enabled, and designed for modern integration scenarios:
Each vendor supports profitable partner engagement:
Together, this combination supports layered sales motions.
Partners can offer a sticky solution that ranges from project-based compliance upgrades to ongoing backup-as-a-service contracts.
Managing this stack is simple, especially when using Crayon’s partner portals and automation services. This creates operational leverage, allowing partners to scale secure document services across multiple clients with minimal overhead.
SigniFlow, Acronis and Delinea can be bundled through Crayon’s cloud provisioning portal. Usage-based billing and licence tracking are centralised.
Acronis and Delinea both support multi-tenant dashboards for monitoring and control.
Partners can automate onboarding workflows—for example, triggering backup tasks post-signature or restricting access to signed documents via Delinea policies.
Solution can be configured across all platforms and escalated via existing PSA or ITSM systems.
Whether your clients are preparing for audits, securing customer data, or digitising core document-based processes, this combination offers a tangible way to close the digital workflow loop for compliance and security.
