Businesses will no longer need to print contracts: what eGov is preparing

eGov is preparing a paperless contracting service for entrepreneurs: documents will be signed and stored digitally, with no printing. For business it removes one of the last analog barriers — the printer, the courier and the "originals" folder stop being a mandatory part of a deal.

Document digitization experience across countries shows a consistent effect: deals close faster, version disputes shrink, and the change history is always at hand. But the same experience reveals a paradox: a company's external loop is often better digitized than its internal one — a contract with a counterparty is signed online in minutes, while inside the organization the same contract's sign-off wanders between offices for weeks.

So the practical step for companies in Kazakhstan is to sort out their own approvals without waiting for the state. A clear route: who signs off, in what order, how much time each step gets — with the full history recorded. Approvals in 1Cifer are built exactly this way: a document travels its route, the agent nudges whoever is stuck, and the decision history is kept — who approved and when. When eGov drives paper to zero, the winners will be those whose internal kitchen already runs at the same speed.
