Signature Management in Banks and other Industries

A Stepchild within Core Banking Applications - the Signature and Mandates Repository - finally gets its Primetime with Signature Management Solutions from SOFTPRO

Every type of Core Banking System is software developed to perform core operations of banking like recording of transactions, passbook maintenance, interest calculations on loans and deposits, customer records, balance of payments and withdrawal. The proper focus of such systems on their main tasks is reflected in their different domain models and business processes. Payment knows the account and transaction entities; CRM knows persons, addresses, and contracts; and so on. Signatures and mandates - if they exist at all in such systems, are added here and there in a poor state - like the neglected Cinderella, just good enough "to sort the peas from the ashes". Although not embraced in a data model as complex as within banking operations, signature databases in other industries also take second rank among the core entities in the processes of operations there. It is time to put signatures back into their proper place to allow their aptitude for authorization of transactions to unfold for the benefit of all surrounding operations.

Often considered as an annoying and unavoidable expense factor, the handling of customers' signatures has often been dominated by cost-avoidance or cost-reduction considerations only.

Imagine to be able to focus on the original purpose of those signatures and at the same time reduce the costs of handling because you employ a system that is dedicated to signatures and  the corresponding mandates throughout their whole lifecycle.
