Letsignit: Email Signature Solution for Large Companies

By
Guillaume De la Sablonnière
Content Factory Manager

TL;DR - Summary

In a large organization, email signatures can quickly become a headache: too many variations across subsidiaries and locations, inconsistent application of brand guidelines, time-consuming updates, and reliance on IT teams or end users.

Letsignit helps restore order through centralized governance, templates that can be tailored by entity, large-scale deployment without manual installation, and targeted banners that turn every email into a powerful communication channel. Teams can then monitor and optimize performance over time using analytics and tracking, while maintaining a framework aligned with enterprise requirements.

Why Email Signatures Are Becoming an Enterprise Issue

Image signature enterprise

In a large company, email signatures are not a minor detail. They represent a point of contact repeated thousands of times a day, often across complex environments: multi-site, multi-entity, multi-brand, and sometimes multi-country. As organizations grow through acquisitions, reorganizations, or new business units, signature management rarely keeps pace.

The symptoms are familiar:

Bad signature symptom 1
Signatures created individually, with endless variations.
Bad signature symptom 2
Brand guidelines applied inconsistently.
Bad signature symptom 3
Time-consuming updates for legal notices, campaigns, new links, or rebranding.
Bad signature symptom 4
‍IT and communications teams repeatedly involved in minor adjustments.
Bad signature symptom 5
Limited visibility into the actual impact of banners and messages.

The result: significant time lost and a brand image that becomes fragmented across emails.

What Letsignit Changes When Managing Thousands of Users

01Centralize Governance Without Compromising Local Autonomy

In an enterprise environment, the goal is not just standardization. It is about establishing a clear framework with a global template and controlled variations for subsidiaries, regions, business lines, and countries, while allowing authorized local fields such as contact details, office information, and legal specifics.

This approach maintains consistency while avoiding the limitations of a rigid one-size-fits-all template.

02Deploy And Update At Scale Without User Effort

Most organizations spend considerable time managing installations and updates at the individual workstation level. Letsignit removes this dependency through automated standardization, deployment, and updates of email signatures.

This makes it possible to handle rebranding, legal updates, or new calls to action quickly, without coordinating with dozens of sites, subsidiaries, or end users.

Letsignit also manages signatures for shared mailboxes and delegated accounts, which are often critical in large organizations.

03Improve Reliability And Reduce Broken Signatures

The larger the organization, the more complex and heterogeneous the environment becomes. Different email clients, configurations, and local practices often lead to display issues, missing logos, and inconsistent layouts.

With a centralized template and controlled deployment, Letsignit reduces these issues and ensures visual consistency at scale.

04Turn Email Signatures Into An Actionable Communication Channel

Once the foundation is stable, the role of email signatures evolves from support function to strategic lever. Signatures become a media space for events, content, corporate news, HR campaigns, and commercial initiatives.

At scale, the key advantage is the ability to target and orchestrate:

  • display the right banner to the right group based on business unit, region, role, or location
  • schedule campaigns over specific time periods
  • activate or deactivate messages without operational follow-up

To avoid bottlenecks at headquarters, Letsignit includes a campaign administration feature that allows local teams such as internal communications, HR, or business units to create and assign campaigns within a defined scope, while maintaining brand consistency and governance.

05Measure What Works And Optimize Over Time

Many organizations deploy banners without understanding their actual impact. Letsignit brings measurement into the process with analytics on signature and banner performance, including click-through rates, campaign comparisons, and message optimization.

This enables teams to compare approaches, refine calls to action, and implement continuous, data-driven communication strategies.

IT Requirements For Large Enterprises

Email signatures for it

In large organizations, adoption depends as much on IT as on communication teams. A successful deployment must address five key areas:

  • Governance: clearly define who can create, modify, and validate signatures through detailed role and permission management, ensuring control while enabling efficient workflows
  • Segmentation: automatically assign signatures based on organizational rules such as subsidiary, department, location, role, or dynamic groups, without multiplying manual versions
  • Scalability: rely on synchronization with directories such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or local systems to deploy and update at scale while detecting and reporting synchronization issues
  • Compliance: enforce legal requirements and brand consistency by integrating disclaimers and locking sensitive fields across all entities
  • Analytics: provide visibility into usage and performance through tracking and reporting, enabling campaign comparison, optimization, and long-term management

Three Enterprise Use Cases

01. Multi-Subsidiary Group

Objective: a global template, controlled variations by entity, clear governance, and structured local autonomy.

Examples:

  • Groupe Even: a multi-activity, multi-entity environment where the goal is to apply a shared brand framework while preserving local information such as site, subsidiary, and contact details. Letsignit enables centralized management of a global template with flexible local adaptations.
  • BDO France: in a firm with diverse roles, offices, and practices, the objective is to standardize a common framework while allowing relevant variations such as office details and legal mentions.

02. Mass Deployment

Objective: scale deployment, ensure consistency across large user volumes, and reduce support workload.

Example:

  • Onet: a large-scale deployment involving several thousand users, where the value lies in operational efficiency. Rapid implementation, centralized updates, and consistent signatures replace the previous approach where each user managed their own version.

03. Highly Distributed Organization

Objective: maintain consistency at scale, enable centralized control in a multi-entity structure, and operate efficiently across distributed teams.

Examples:

  • VINCI Energies: a distributed organization with numerous entities where the challenge is to reduce inconsistencies caused by manual management. Directory synchronization enables automated deployment while allowing entity-level variations.
  • Caisse d'Épargne Île-de-France: an environment where compliance, consistency, and brand image are critical. Letsignit ensures uniform signatures without requiring employee involvement for each update.
  • FranceTV Publicité: a marketing-driven use case where email signatures serve as a communication channel to promote content and campaigns, with the ability to activate banners and track performance without manual deployment.

What A Typical Enterprise Deployment Looks Like

  1. Scoping: define scope, entities, user groups, brand rules, and legal constraints
  2. Design: create the main template and its variations for brands, business units, regions, and countries
  3. Pilot: test on a representative entity and refine as needed
  4. Global Deployment: roll out progressively with governance in place
  5. Ongoing Management: handle updates, campaigns, reporting, and continuous improvement

Questions
Fréquentes

1

Is it possible to track the number of clicks on email signatures?

Yes, with the 'Campaigns' offer, it is possible to track the number of clicks on the email signatures of all your employees in the 'Statistics' area of the platform.

You can then access a detailed or global view of the number of clicks on the email signatures of each employee. You can use the search option to target a specific signature or a given period. Finally, you have the possibility to export all statistics to an Excel document.

If you launch campaigns with banners inserted in your email signatures, you can also access their performance via this same space.

2

Can we add links to social networks, our website, and appointment-setting applications such as Calendly?

With Letsignit, you can easily add social network icons in your collaborators' email signatures and link to your company pages. Also, our "attributes" feature allows you to manage personalized URLs for each of your collaborators such as their individual LinkedIn profile.

And that's not all: you can add links to an appointment-setting application, allow your customers to leave reviews easily, and integrate our 'Chat on Teams' widget to let anyone start a discussion via Microsoft Teams chat.

3

Can employees update their signature information themselves (number, function, etc.)?

It’s up to you! As an administrator of the Letsignit platform, you choose whether or not to grant modification rights to your employees. These permissions are managed on an attribute-by-attribute basis, which means that you can decide to allow the employee to change their phone number, but not the address of your premises, for example.

This feature applies to all attributes in your directory, including custom attributes created on Letsignit. When your employees change one or more attributes, your directory is obviously not affected.

4

Why it is important to standardize our email signatures on a large scale to ensure our identity and brand image?

It often happens that employees make their email signature their own: custom format, bad fonts, colors inconsistent with the brand standards... all of this has an impact on your brand!

A consistent visual identity is considered authentic and outperforms a perceived weak one by 20%. And, your customers are 2.4 times more likely to buy your products.

With Letsignit, take back control over your brand identity by standardizing all your email signatures. Our tool has many features that allow you to customize your signatures by department, by audience or by subsidiary. Not to mention the possibility of carrying out campaigns within your email signatures thanks to our Campaign offer.

What is the user experience like for our employees?

What is the user experience like for our employees?

  • If you opt for the Letsignit Add-in for Outlook, they will have a dedicated space in their Outlook account where they will be able to view the signatures and campaigns assigned to them.
  • If you opt for the Letsignit Desktop APP, they will be able to preview all their signatures and campaigns in this space. If they want to change their default signature to another one when sending an email, this will be done in their signature library in Outlook.

In both cases:

  • They preview their signature before sending an email and choose from signatures assigned to them.
  • Based on the permissions granted, they will also be able to modify their personal information such as their name, position, or address in these spaces.

In short, they have autonomy in their email signature, but you keep control on the field, signatures, and banners they can edit or use.

6

Can my employees have multiple signatures available to them?

With our "multi-signature" feature, your employees can benefit from multiple email signatures. No technical manipulation is required. Thanks to our Add-in for Outlook or the desktop app, they can change their email signatures as they wish with just a few clicks.

Regarding the creation of email signatures, you can make several variations such as:

Everything has been thought of to go further in the personalization process based on the recipient of your emails.

7

Regarding “Green IT,” have you implemented measures to limit the digital footprint of email signatures?

If sending emails has an impact, non-optimized email signatures also have an impact. An unsuitable format or an image that is too heavy considerably increases the size of your signatures... and therefore, your emails.

As a responsible economic actor, we contribute to reducing our CO2 emissions and those of our customers in several ways:

  • Optimization of the weight of signatures and campaigns in emails.
  • Green features: lightening of signatures during response/transfer emails, possibility of not embedding images, implementation of lighter signatures for internal exchanges.
  • Integration of a 'Switch to Teams' widget to encourage your employees to continue their exchanges via chat, rather than email.

As we are increasingly involved in sustainability initiatives, our priority in 2023 is to develop even more green IT functionality.
