Digital signature solutions provider Kofax Limited has announced a new family of e-signature solutions. Called the Kofax SignDoc, the enterprise software suite is said to be highly scalable, allowing organizations of all sizes to integrate it.
Speaking in a press release, Kofax Chief Marketing Officer Grant Johnson asserted, “Digital transaction management is an emerging market category that defines a new way to conduct business,” adding that the company’s new platform ensures that “Kofax is positioned to succeed in this market category.” And indeed, it is a growing field; in a recent report, a Forrester Research analyst noted that e-signatures “are finally gaining momentum — driven by simpler, more accessible, and cheaper smartphones, tablets, and touchscreen computers.”
A lot of those same devices are now integrating biometric technology into their hardware, too – as we’re seeing with the current deluge of fingerprint-scanning smartphones – and Kofax says that biometric technology has a role to play in its new offerings as well, noting that SignDoc “can capture biometrics at the time of signing for greater security and authentication.” Given the increasing reliance on biometrics for identity authentication, that’s a wise direction in which to move for a company specializing in one of the oldest authentication staples we have – the signature.
