In many companies, there is a state of fragmentation when it comes to managing email signatures.
Employees create and edit their signatures themselves, which often leads to inconsistent and unprofessional results.
This not only affects the brand image, but also causes an enormous administrative burden.

The solution? Central management of Outlook signatures.

Three main advantages of centrally managed Outlook signatures

Consistency and professionalism

Centrally managed signatures ensure a uniform appearance in all emails. This strengthens the brand image and conveys professionalism. Every employee uses the same templates, logos and formatting, resulting in a consistent corporate image.

Time and cost savings 

Thanks to centralized administration, changes can be implemented quickly and efficiently without each employee having to manually adjust their signature individually. This saves time and significantly reduces IT support and training costs.

Legal security and compliance 

Centrally managed signatures ensure that all legal requirements, such as disclaimers and data protection regulations, are complied with. This minimizes the risk of legal problems and increases the security of corporate communications.

primedocs fixes missing functions for corporate e-mail management 

Microsoft offers basic options for creating and managing email signatures and disclaimers for all users in an organization. Further details can be found here (german).

However, there are limitations, especially with more complex requirements in corporate email management. Two key examples illustrate this:

• The signature is not inserted directly below the last e-mail reply.
• Images cannot be embedded directly and often appear as attachments or external links. 

These examples are not complete, and even Microsoft recommends using special software for these and other requirements.  

These limitations make additional tools such as the primedocs template software necessary to ensure comprehensive and seamless signature management.
