**1. Modernized Platform Upgrade**

**Region:** Global

**Overview**\
emSigner is now powered by a modernized architecture built on .NET Core. This transition delivers measurable improvements in document processing speed, platform reliability, and security posture. The platform is now cloud-native by design, supporting Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD deployment pipelines, and runs natively on Windows, Linux, and containerized environments. This release also introduces a refreshed user interface designed for greater clarity and ease of use, with improved navigation and a more responsive layout across devices, and adds full Content Security Policy (CSP) support to strengthen protection against cross-site scripting and related browser-based threats.

**Key Benefits**

* Faster document processing and improved responsiveness across all workflows
* Enhanced platform stability and reliability under high transaction volumes
* Strengthened security aligned with current industry standards, including full CSP support
* Improved scalability to accommodate growing signing volumes
* Cloud and DevOps readiness: Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipeline support
* Cross-platform compatibility: Windows, Linux, and container environments
* Robust 3-tier architecture for better long-term maintainability

**Use Cases**

* Enterprises handling high-volume document signing workflows
* Organizations adopting cloud-native or containerized deployment strategies
* Businesses requiring faster document turnaround times
* IT teams seeking a scalable, future-ready infrastructure

**2. Self-Service Subscription Management**

**Region:** Global

**Overview**\
Administrators can now manage their emSigner subscription directly from within the platform. The application provides real-time visibility into usage, flexible controls for plan upgrade, and renewal workflows, reducing the need to contact the account team for routine subscription tasks.

**Key Benefits**

* Real-time usage dashboards for active subscription monitoring
* Flexible plan upgrade controls, available on demand
* Reduced dependency on the account manager

**Use Cases**

* Administrators managing multi-user or enterprise-scale subscriptions
* Finance and procurement teams requiring usage data for budget reviews

**3. Plan Migration to v3.0**

**Region:** Global, India

**Overview**\
All applicable plans are migrated to the v3.0 Core platform with this release. Cloud customers benefit from the performance and UI improvements automatically, without any manual intervention. As part of this transition, the Advanced Plan has been discontinued for new subscriptions. This migration includes a pricing update: the Aadhaar eSign charge has been revised from Rs. 5 to Rs. 10 per transaction, effective from the date of migration.

**Key Benefits**

* Consistent experience across all plan tiers on the unified Core platform
* Access to improved performance, security, and the refreshed UI

**Use Cases**

* Existing customers automatically benefiting from platform performance upgrades
* New customers onboarding to a streamlined, modern plan structure

**Advanced Plan — Notice**\
The Advanced Plan has been discontinued for new purchases as of this release. Existing subscribers may continue using their plan until the end of their current billing cycle. For questions about your renewal options, contact <support@emsigner.com>.

**4. Bulk Signing — Desktop Tool & Enhanced Dashboard**

**Region:** Global

**Overview**\
emSigner introduces a new desktop application for bulk signing, enabling users to sign large volumes of documents directly from their desktop without navigating through the web dashboard for every batch. Alongside this, the in-dashboard bulk signing experience has been redesigned for greater clarity, with improved document selection, progress tracking, and error handling during large-batch operations.

**Key Benefits**

* Dedicated desktop tool for high-volume signing outside the browser
* Refreshed in-dashboard bulk signing workflow with clearer progress and status indicators
* Reduced turnaround time for large batches of documents
* Improved visibility into failures or exceptions during bulk operations

**Use Cases**

* Finance, HR, and legal teams processing large batches of contracts or forms
* Organizations with recurring high-volume signing cycles (e.g., monthly billing, onboarding)
* Users who prefer a desktop-native experience for repetitive signing tasks

**5. Activity Logs & Audit Trail**

**Region:** Global

**Overview**\
emSigner's activity logging has been strengthened with tamper-evident audit trails, combining SHA-256 hashing with HMAC to ensure that logs cannot be altered without detection. Coverage has been expanded to capture a broader range of platform events, and the audit trail interface now supports rich filtering to help administrators and auditors quickly locate specific activity.

**Key Benefits**

* Tamper-evident logging using SHA-256 and HMAC for verifiable integrity
* Expanded event coverage across the platform
* Rich filtering options for faster investigation and reporting
* Stronger audit posture to support compliance and internal governance

**Use Cases**

* Compliance and audit teams verifying the integrity of signing activity
* Organizations in regulated industries requiring defensible audit trails
* IT and security teams investigating specific user or document activity

**6. API Enhancements — OAuth & Modernized Contracts**

**Region:** Global

**Overview**\
All emSigner APIs now authenticate using OAuth, replacing legacy authentication methods with an industry-standard, token-based approach. Request and response payloads across the API suite have also been modernized for consistency, clarity, and easier integration.

**Key Benefits**

* Industry-standard OAuth authentication across all APIs
* Modernized, consistent request/response contracts
* Simplified integration for new and existing API consumers
* Improved security posture for API-based access

**Use Cases**

* Enterprises integrating emSigner into internal systems or workflows
* ISVs and partners building on top of the emSigner API
* IT teams standardizing authentication across integrated applications

**7. Authentication, SSO & Access Security**

**Region:** Global

**Overview**\
This release significantly strengthens platform access security. Administrators can enable Single Sign-On via Google, Microsoft 365, or SAML, and organizations in the UAE can enable UAE PASS for national digital identity login. Additional protections include multi-factor authentication at login, configurable password policies, account lockout after repeated failed attempts, and rate limiting for secure service-to-service communication.

**Key Benefits**

* Streamlined, secure login via SSO (Google, Microsoft 365, SAML)
* UAE PASS integration for national digital identity authentication
* Login-level multi-factor authentication for stronger identity assurance
* Configurable password policies and account lockout protection
* Rate limiting to guard against abuse

**Use Cases**

* Enterprises standardizing employee login through existing identity providers
* Organizations in the UAE requiring UAE PASS-based authentication
* Security and compliance teams enforcing stronger access controls

**8. Administration & Governance**

**Region:** Global

**Overview**\
emSigner's administration capabilities have been expanded to give organizations finer-grained control over how the platform is structured and governed. Administrators can now organize users into departments, assign granular roles and permissions, delegate responsibilities, apply co-branding, define custom document statuses, and restrict access geographically through geofencing.

**Key Benefits**

* Departmental structuring for better organization of users and workflows
* Granular roles and permissions for precise access control
* Delegation support for continuity when users are unavailable
* Co-branding options to reflect organizational identity
* Custom statuses for workflow states tailored to business needs
* Geofencing to restrict access by geographic location
