Enhanced Partner Program Announced at Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner Conference 

AssureSign LLC, a leading provider of electronic signature technology, today announced its enhanced Partner Program, which is unveiled in conjunction with Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner Conference, held July 11 through 15 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC.

AssureSign leads the electronic signature market with easy to deploy tools that can seamlessly integrate electronic signature applications with existing business tools with minimal effort. AssureSign is already pre-integrated with the Microsoft Dynamics® Suite, Microsoft SharePoint and several other Microsoft-based applications in the financial services and CRM markets.

The new AssureSign Partner Program builds upon the previous program and success with partner-developed applications and implementations. The program will provide qualified members access to a development instance of the AssureSign application, a complete API Toolkit, access to AssureSign’s developers’ web forum, attendance in training programs and technical support. The most significant feature of the new program is the ability for partners to embed AssureSign in their existing applications and transparently provide an electronic signature component for their customers. Partners will enjoy branding capabilities that will enable them to customize all user experiences for both document originators and signatories. Partners can further benefit by reselling the AssureSign application with their applications, as a means for increased top-line revenue.

The new AssureSign Partner Program will include two distinct partner classifications – Integration Partner and Reseller Partner. Integration Partners will have full access to development platforms that will enable them to build application integrations and then move them to customer production environments. Reseller Partners will have full access to ‘master reseller accounts’ that will allow them to create instances of AssureSign to deploy as needed for their customers, with complete individualized branding capabilities for each implementation.

“Our DocumentNOW® and DocumentTRAK™ API tools, which allow our partners and customers to tightly integrate with existing environments, including Microsoft applications, has been heralded by existing partners as the most comprehensive, flexible and easy to work with API Toolkit in the electronic signature market,” says David Brinkman, AssureSign’s president and chief executive officer. “Since inception our platform has been very partner-centric with the ability for partners to brand and resell AssureSign – this new set of reseller options provide out partners additional access and an even greater benefit.”

About AssureSign LLC

Enterprise customers who focus on SAS-70 vendors realize that not all SAS-70 certifications are the same.  AssureSign, like some other electronic signature vendors, provides customers with the security of running their cloud-based, or SaaS, offering in a SAS-70 Type II environment.  However, other signature vendors merely host their application on other systems, located in someone else’s SAS-70 data center.  That’s great, they are SAS-70 Type II, but there is more to SAS-70 Type II certification than outsourcing your data center.  Which is why AssureSign runs our own Tier 4 (highest possible type) SAS-70 Type II data center.

AssureSign takes it to the next level.  First, we have explicit control over uptime – our own enterprise class, fully redundant (also geo-redundant) in-house data center is SAS-70 Type II certified, offering a Tier 1 level of reliability, providing our customers 99.994% uptime over the last 4 years!  Secondly, we take it to the next level with enterprise-wide SAS-70 Type II certification.

Obtaining enterprise-wide SAS-70 Type II certification means that ALL aspects of AssureSign have a specifically defined tested process and we’re audited annually to assure we adhere to those processes.   This certification includes all internal processes and systems such as software/code development, quality assurance, soft releases, human resources and billing.  Just as important are all customer facing processes such as sales, training and customer support.  The all-encompassing certification means that the way we develop our industry-leading applications and deploy them on our owned and controlled servers while supporting them in certified processes ensures the best possible level of service.

This is important to us and should be more important to our customers.   In order to provide a true enterprise-class SaaS offering, all aspects of the business need to operate in an enterprise class environment at all levels.  This is certainly exemplified by our ever-expanding enterprise-level customer base, who see the value in enterprise-wide SAS-70 Type II certification and, more importantly, understand and appreciate the difference between AssureSign and any other electronic signature vendor.

AssureSign and sister company 3PV have over 10 years of experience in providing SaaS applications, having processed 30 million transactions and over 100 million unique ‘signature events’ and we will continue to lead the field in enterprise class offerings in products, features and customer support.

AssureSign LLC, a leading provider of electronic signature technology for the insurance industry, today announced that its integrated solutions will be featured at the Insurance Accounting & Systems Association, Inc. (IASA) annual conference, to be held June 6 through 9 at the Gaylord Texan Hotel & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas.

AssureSign has been providing leading edge electronic signature solutions to the insurance and financial services markets for nearly five years, and is the only electronic signature solution to provide an enterprise-wide SAS-70 Type II certification in a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) deployment, as well as the ability to install the same application on customer premise. Partners and customers have come to recognize AssureSign’s ease of deployment, depth of integration capabilities, and unique, broadly-accepted biometric signature process.

To further demonstrate AssureSign’s integration capabilities, the AssureSign solution will be demonstrated at the IASA Business Show by Duck Creek® Technologies (Booth #821) and other partners as a seamless part of their solutions.  Visitors will learn how AssureSign’s unique biometric mouse-based signature process can replicate any pen-and-paper signing workflow, keeping the entire transaction electronic and producing signatures that look like a traditional pen-based signature.  In an all-electronic process, insurance providers recognize significant cost savings and operational efficiencies by using the AssureSign DocumentTRAK™ API to instantaneously transmit executed documents into existing systems.

“The true benefits of AssureSign electronic signature applications are recognized when they are deeply integrated with existing business applications such as the solution offered by Duck Creek,” said David W. Brinkman, chief executive officer of AssureSign LLC. “As part of our commitment to insurance, we are proud to partner with industry leaders to provide simple solutions with sophisticated functionality that further enhance the insurance contract process, saving end-users both time and money.”

Version 1.4 of AssureSign DocumentLAUNCH™ for Windows is being released the week of June 7. As we implement new customization options in the DocumentNOW® interfaces, we follow up by adding related functionality in our downloadable client applications to provide new, rich features.

For example, DocumentLAUNCH now supports the ability to pass in documents containing dynamically created JotBlocks (the interface for handling this was implemented in DocumentNOW in version 2.1.1 of the AssureSign application). Additionally, new features introduced in the online AssureSign application such as the ability to specify regular expression string validators on parameters (being released with version 2.1.2 of the AssureSign application) are now supported in DocumentLAUNCH. When you specify custom validation handlers and messages during the template creation process they will now be enforced and displayed within DocumentLAUNCH. Other performance enhancements and features based on customer requests have also been implemented.

Current users will be able to download the latest version when logged in to their AssureSign account, from the AssureSign Tools section of the help pages. Please contact your AssureSign account representative for a demonstration if you are interested in finding out how DocumentLAUNCH can get you up and running with integration from the desktop with minimal technical requirements.

New version enables enhanced document streaming and template creation

AssureSign LLC, a leader in electronic signature technology, today announced the official release of the latest offering of its AssureSign product, AssureSign v2.1.2.  With this new release, AssureSign delivers a higher degree of automation with improved document processing and streaming, as well as enhanced compliance.  These enhancements are primarily a direct result of input from our rapidly expanding domestic and international customer base.

AssureSign is a web-hosted and on-premise software application that facilitates the capture of electronic signatures on any document in an all-digital, highly secure environment. AssureSign’s DocumentNOW® Interface Facility is a dynamic web-service data exchange that permits users to easily integrate the technology into their existing business process. AssureSign v2.1.2 includes enhancements to improve document processing throughput, particularly when documents are streamed in via DocumentNOW services.

Most visible operational elements of the application remain unchanged in AssureSign v2.1.2. However, features have been added to enable improved disclosure and compliance statements for specific jurisdictions. AssureSign users now have the ability to configure templates to display custom disclosures based on their specific needs, such as in the case of specific types of transactions or to meet specific local requirements.  This provides greater compliance capabilities for our growing international customer base.  Additionally, powerful new features have been added for document submissions, including the ability to configure templates with dynamic validation that can help power client-side applications.

“As our international customer base grows, and more domestic companies are doing business internationally, AssureSign is committed to providing a solution that enables organizations throughout the world to save time and money, while adhering to local regulations,” said David W. Brinkman, AssureSign’s chief executive officer. “With this release, AssureSign users have the ability to gain additional control over the signature process through every step of document creation, ensuring a comprehensive, compliant process.”
