On the one hand, it is necessary to consider the core technologies mastered by electronic contract service providers, such as identity authentication technology and password technology, which are mainly reflected in whether there are patents obtained in special fields and whether they can be applied to multiple product functions;
On the other hand, we should consider the stability of electronic contract products, mainly reflected in the performance of products, such as product service availability, concurrency, average signing time, deployment response time and other data.
2. Compliance: completely qualified.
A compliant third-party electronic contract platform in the market requires complete qualification certificates. Because the electronic signature industry is a franchise industry in China, involving information security, trade secrets and so on. This industry is supervised by various government departments and has very strict qualification requirements. Formal electronic contract service providers need to have the business license stipulated by national laws, the certification qualification of national authorities, and the certification of international industry authorities. To ensure the compliance of electronic contract software. For example,
Password qualification and security qualification-commercial password product certification, three-level security, ISO2700 1 information security management system, ISO270 18 public cloud personal information protection management system, ISO2770 1 privacy information management system, etc.
Public trust qualification-the number of CA institutions cooperating in the country, whether to invest in holding CA institutions, etc.

On the other hand, according to different scales and industries, it is necessary to consider whether the third-party electronic contract platform supports the diversification of access ports and the customization of product functions, so as to ensure that all large, medium and small enterprises have their own electronic contract service products. For example, does the electronic contract software support multi-channel and flexible deployment methods such as Web /APP/applet /SaaS API to meet the user's more convenient use?
