AssureSign launches Document NOW XML interface for electronic signatures

Monday, April 14, 2008

Orlando, Florida-based AssureSign has unveiled its DocumentNOW XML Interface Facility to permit users of the company’s AssureSign Electronic Signature Technology to integrate the technology into their existing business processes.

With DocumentNOW, customers submit information digitally for insertion into a document and process the document for signature. The patent-pending electronic signature software provides forensically identifiable evidence of contractual acceptance with digitized electronic signatures that can be matched for authentication in much the same way as a traditional signature.

AssureSign guarantees full compliance with the requirements and standards of both the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (E-SIGN) Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) for all AssureSign Electronic Signature products. [end]

The certification points to adequate controls and security measures being in place to protect consumer data that is stored by the company.
