The latest release of our SmartSign Web electronic signature service and eCore® electronic vault focused on simplifying document review and signature capture. Employing electronic signatures must be easier for your customers than the paper process, and release 6 simplifies signature capture into three easy steps, while maintaining compliance with electronic signature requirements and best practices.

Simple 3-Step Electronic Signature Process

We recognize that the electronic signature process will always be compared to the paper-based wet ink signatures. That is why we focused on simplification in this release. Signers are walked through a simple three step process, including disclosure and consent, signature capture, and receiving a copy of the signed documents. At each step, SmartSign ensures compliance with the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) and federal E-SIGN signature requirements. The signers can pull up context sensitive help at each step in the process, and the entire process can be completed in a few minutes!

Signer Identity Verification

Many organizations are struggling with new government regulations, identity theft, and multi-factor authentication. eOriginal has integrated an electronic identify verification service into the signature experience, which includes a verification against the government OFAC database (i.e. Patriot Act Compliance) and presents signers with out-of-wallet questions from permissible use public databases. The results of the identify verification are recorded in the document audit trail, and you have the option to store the questions, responses and results in an encrypted Verification Report.

Integrate Your Way!

So you want to begin now with electronic signatures, but your IT organization is overloaded with projects? Don’t want to send your customers to a third-party website to sign your documents? Have a high-volume business that does not lend itself to your employees logging into a web site to upload documents and send invitations? Want to have the signing experience branded as your own? SmartSign Web offers zero-integration deployment, embedding the Signature Room right in your website, and automated document upload and signature preparation within your document generation/origination system. Flexibility is key to a successful electronic signature implementation, and eOriginal offers you the most options in the market today.

eCore® 6 simplifies electronic signatures and provides the flexibility you need to successfully deploy a truly paperless transaction environment.

Baltimore, MD (Vocus/PRWEB) – August 6, 2009 - eOriginal, Inc., a leader in enabling end-to-end paperless transactions, announced today that Pioneer Services, the Military Banking Division of MidCountry Bank, has joined eOriginal’s high-level financial institution client list and is using the electronic signature and vaulting solution of SmartSign^® Web and eCore^® On Demand. Transactions for Pioneer Services will now be executed electronically and managed throughout their lifecycle within the eCore^® electronic vault.

“eOriginal’s electronic signature solutions go beyond document generation and basic electronic signatures” said, Samantha Moritz, eOriginal’s director of sales and marketing. “In addition to electronically signing each loan transaction, eOriginal ensures that each signed document is authenticated and protected using digital signatures to create tamper-evident seals around all documents placed under the control of the electronic vault. Important documents may be maintained in an authenticated electronic format for their full legal life.”

Once the contracts are electronically signed, eOriginal’s vaulting technology creates a digitally sealed audit trail for the complete lifecycle of each deposited document. This secure audit trail provides the highest level of non-repudiation of the evidentiary record for events such as access, signing, reuse, print, or view requests by any user or external system. Actions affecting admissibility or enforceability including new versions, additional electronic signatures, assignment, and custody transfers – are tracked and permanently recorded in the audit trail.

The resulting document is a legal, tamper-proof eContract that eliminates the need for any physical paper processing. The eContracts are true electronic finance documents that are tamper-evident, auditable, legally enforceable, admissible, and negotiable. eOriginal electronic signature and vaulting solutions are also compliant with ESIGN, UETA and UCC Revised Article 9-105.

In today’s world, most of us do everything online, from ordering a new pair of shoes to paying off credit card bills.  Technology and products like eOriginal’s SmartSign® Web esignature solution provide the ability to quickly and seamlessly migrate from a cumbersome paper process to a streamlined online process helping to make these conveniences possible.  However, with the instant gratification and convenience of online processing comes a fear of identity theft.  Therefore, it is increasingly important to know that the person you are contracting with or selling goods and services to is exactly who they say they are.  Now, with the help of cutting edge technology, eOriginal can assist you in verifying, in real-time, that the person signing your deal is in fact who they claim to be.  

eOriginal SmartSign® Web dramatically reduces potential losses and fraud attempts.  With eOriginal’s OFAC and Patriot Act Complaint third party verification feature, you always feel secure.  In order to comply with the Patriot Act and other government regulations, many companies within and outside the financial services industry are now bound by new requirements to verify against Patriot Act Complaint databases.  eOriginal can now alleviate that burden by verifying potential signer information against different data sources that include the Social Security Administration, Regional Bell Operating Companies, credit header data, government watch lists, and many other proprietary sources. 

Not only does SmartSign offer the ability to provide such OFAC user screenings it also challenges a potential signer with “out-of-wallet” security questions.  Such protective questions are critical for customers in various high value markets.  If requested, SmartSign will authenticate the identity of the signer by asking personal and/or historic questions.  The correct signer can quickly and easily answer these questions without delay of the verification process.  SmartSign therefore provides an additional barrier to help protect your signers from identity theft.  

Third party identity verification is just one of the numerous security features that eOriginal’s SmartSign Web offers to help cut costs, streamline paperless processes, and help companies “go-green.”
