Paperless transactions - 02-Feb-2010

An Post pioneers paperless transactions

A new deal signed by An Post's Certification Services Provider (CSP) subsidiary, Post.Trust will enable businesses to create electronic documents embedded with legally binding digital signatures. These electronic documents can replace paper documents which rely on a physical handwritten signature.

This development also seamlessly provides the dual benefits of author identity and document integrity verification, meeting a growing and increasingly essential requirement for Irish business, said An Post. Post.Trust today announced that it has become a partner in the global Adobe Certified DocumentServices (CDS) Program with An Post launching its desktop electronic document signing solutions Post.Trust I.D and SpeediSign.
 
It is targeted at the 'lite user' with a low volume requirement to digitally sign Adobe PDF documents while SpeediSign is targeted at the higher volume 'power user'.
 
"More and more businesses are seeking to deploy electronic document workflows in a bid to reduce costs, enable operational efficiencies and enhance security. Using Post.Trust document signing solutions for Adobe CDS individuals or companies can undertake contract execution, invoice generation or even just general business correspondence, entirely by electronic means," said John Cronin, Managing Director of Post.Trust Ltd.
