SignPad eSignio and SignWare SDK
„Thanks to the Electronic Receipt Storage Service of TeleCash we can finally end the era of archiving paper receipts in cartons or shoe boxes.

The customers of IKEA expressed their exaltation in a survey held after the introduction of the new solution: The check-out was sensed as faster and signing paperless praised as „very innovative idea“.

They also enjoyed the format of the SignPad eSignio: „finally a device with enough space for my long signature”.

Another customer opinion shows we are on the right track: „That’s the way I’d like to pay everywhere in the future.“

Awards

TeleTrust Innovation Award

SOFTPRO partner Confederación Española de Cajas de Ahorros (CECA, the Spanish Savings Banks Confederation) uses SignWare SDK and SignPads in their lighthouse project “Firma Digitalizada” (digitized signature). They received the Innovation Award of the European association for IT security association TeleTrusT in 2009.

The jury honored the innovative hybrid approach to combine the benefits of Biometrics, Cryptography and Public Key Infrastructures (PKI) for authentication purposes.

The project became a blue print for other organizations for the trustworthy implementation of handwritten signatures in electronic processes and won multiple additional awards and received broad recognition.

In October 2010 CECAs CIO - Santiago Uriel Arias - summed up experiences of the project at ISSE conference. A detailed report was published in the conference proceedings.

June 2010 - FT The Banker: "Award for Innovation in Information Security"
("The striking use of authentication controls as a business enabler marked Firma Digitalizada out for this year's award: not only has it allowed the participating banks to dispense with paper but it has facilitated the transformation of front- and back-office processes and the customer experience.")
December 2009 - Bank Technology News (btn) [USA]: “Top 10 Companies and Technologies”
November 2009 - Banking Technology [UK] Rating as “highly commended” in the category “Most Innovative Use of IT"

A substantial part of CECA's inspiration for this solution was based on the vital exchange with German Savings Banks, which also rely on hardware and software from SOFTPRO. TeleTrusT
