The issuance of over 16 million digital certificates underscores our unparalleled reputation in the global certification arena. 

Transforming India and Beyond 

Our influence extends far beyond Indian borders. In India, we have played a pivotal role in supporting e-government initiatives, collaborating with tax authorities, revenue bodies, law administrations, and the central banks. The impact isn't limited to the public sector; we are driving paperless transformations in the banking sector, forging partnerships with Indian and international banks. The trust bestowed upon us is evident as IT giants like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Infosys choose our platform for enterprise-wide paperless transformations, particularly in legal and human resource departments.

Tailoring the solution to align with the unique demands of the client's retail operations and control parameters involved a few strategic modifications.

Capitalizing on Cybersecurity Opportunities 

As the digital landscape evolves, so do the challenges surrounding cybersecurity. Our PKI-based IAM suite of products is strategically designed to meet the rising demands for robust cybersecurity measures. The issuance of cryptographic keys and certificates plays a pivotal role in safeguarding enterprise IT infrastructures, users, and devices. The comprehensive approach to cybersecurity ensures the protection of sensitive information and mitigates potential threats to critical infrastructure.

How emSigner Works as a Platform 

At the core of our eSignature solutions is the emSigner platform, a transformative force in simplifying document signing and management processes. The platform's automation significantly reduces the reliance on physical signatures and paper-based documents, thereby saving time and resources while enhancing security and compliance.

  • Template Creation: The initial step involves creating the document that requires a signature, a task easily accomplished with any document editing software.

  • Document Upload: Once the document is crafted, it is effortlessly uploaded to emSigner, finding a secure repository within the platform. 

  • Signature Placement: The next stage entails placing digital signature fields strategically on the document, indicating precisely where the signer needs to affix their signature. Embracing versatility, emSigner supports various signature types, including handwritten signatures, digital signatures, and biometric signatures.

  • Sending for Signature: Following the placement of signature fields, the document is promptly dispatched for signature to the designated email addresses of the signers. Accessibility is seamless, allowing signers to electronically sign the document from any device.

  • Signature Verification: Upon completion of the signing process, emSigner meticulously validates the signatures employing cutting-edge digital signature technologies, including PKI and digital certificates. This meticulous verification guarantees the authenticity and tamper-proof nature of the signatures.

  • Document Storage: Once the signatures are verified, the signed document finds a secure abode within the emSigner system or can be stored in a destination of your choosing. Noteworthy is the platform's compatibility with popular cloud storage services like AWS, Azure, etc. This integration ensures easy access to the document whenever needed, while also fortifying its safety against unauthorised access.
