Organizations have become increasingly confused about their digital signature software options due to the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN). This act officially gives electronic signatures the same legal standing as handwritten ones.

As a result, terms such as digital signature software and electronic signature software are often used interchangeably, even though both technologies are very different. So what is the difference?

Digital signature software is the result of a cryptographic operation. The digital signature software technology guarantees data integrity and non-repudiation of transactions. This ensures that the digital signature cannot be copied, altered, or corrupted.

Standard e-signature solutions have focused on low risk transactions and low volume applications. “SIGNiX SIGNOLOGY is the next-generation solution that delivers significant value to companies by allowing business critical applications involving important legal and financial transactions to be digitally signed as part of a fully automated electronic process.

  • Authenticity: The digital signature helps to assure that the signer is who he or she claims to be.
  • Integrity: The digital signature ensures that the content has not been changed or tampered with since the document was digitally signed.
  • Non-Repudiation: The digital signature helps prove the origin of the signed content to all parties. "Repudiation" refers to the act of a signer denying any association with the signed content.

By integrating SIGNiX into your workflow, you’ll be a few steps ahead of competitors who have yet to embrace electronic signatures and document processing. Plus you can do more with less:
  • Better, faster service to your customers, with lower costs and more efficient use of resources
  • More electronic capabilities and capacity available when you need it without discarding your existing business processes or legacy systems
  • Immediate return on investment with limited or no up-front capital expenditures, and no long, expensive implementation projects

In today’s competitive business world, superior customer service is a must. That’s where SIGNiX becomes your competitive advantage. Instead of asking the consumer to wait up to a week or more while you print, collate and courier a stack of paper documents for their signature, SIGNiX allows you to deliver mission critical business documents online — for immediate execution.
