The Company announced today a partnership with VERTEX, a premier provider of professional services and innovative software to the financial services industry, to bring to its customer base of leading financial institutions the compelling benefits in speed, cost savings and enhanced compliance of electronic execution of transactions with secure digital signatures.

"The adoption and importance of e-signature technology has been rapidly accelerating in our industry, and we have partnered with SIGNiX to provide this capability to our customer base," said Steve Wilson, VERTEX's CEO. "SIGNiX's secure digital signature service is especially suited to significant financial transactions, and they are the only solution certified by the annuity industry through IRI, the Insured Retirement Institute, as compliant with the rigorous standards adopted by the leading investment and insurance firms that comprise its membership. This certification is absolutely critical to rapid adoption as all of the industry players know that the SIGNiX digital signatures can be trusted without further due diligence by each."

"We are tremendously excited to work with a firm that is as broadly respected as VERTEX for facilitating technological advances by so many leading insurance carriers and other financial services firms," said SIGNiX CEO Jay Jumper. "They will offer our standalone solution known as MyDoX for immediate use by companies with no need for integration, but they also have the professional services resources to tightly embed the SIGNiX signature service as a seamless part of any automated process or application."
