Automating the payment would be a really bad idea, but the workflow of receiving the contract/invoice, running it through internal systems, negotiation and legal could use some software help.
- dahart 10y agoAll my contract negotiation & signing over a few bucks has been done using cloud based encrypted services for years. Yes email is not encrypted, but I'm not sure what the problem is, or how this even relates to the article. This was a phishing scam over new deals. New deals can't generally be automated, shouldn't generally be automated, and the issue here involved human factors that are likely to always exist. The presumption that more computers and more encryption could fix what happened in this story seems misguided to me.
