Digital signatures have become an important medium in closing business deals today. Many business owners, however, are still on the fence about security behind the e-signature.

SIGNiX and VERTEX, premier providers of professional services and innovative software to the financial services industry, have become partners to offer their customers the benefit of secure digital signatures. The deal will provide digital signatures to leading financial institutions, and remain valid until specific expiration dates.

"The adoption and importance of e-signature technology has been rapidly accelerating in our industry, and we have partnered with SIGNiX to provide this capability to our customer base," said Steve Wilson, VERTEX's CEO. "SIGNiX's secure digital signature service is especially suited to significant financial transactions, and they are the only solution certified by the annuity industry through IRI, the Insured Retirement Institute, as compliant with the rigorous standards adopted by the leading investment and insurance firms that comprise its membership."

SIGNiX digital signature enables individuals to “sign” documents online and offers secure and accurate documentation of business documents over traditional, paper and wet signature processes. The service doesn’t require any hardware installations or software downloads.

"[VERTEX] will offer our standalone solution known as MyDoX for immediate use by companies with no need for integration,” said SIGNiX CEO Jay Jumper. “But they also have the professional services resources to tightly embed the SIGNiX signature service as a seamless part of any automated process or application."

However, only time will tell how corporate world adopts digital signature technology.
