eSignLive Recognised as an E-Signature Market Leader

With electronic signatures becoming increasingly important across regulated industries, VASCO - a global leader in authentication, electronic signatures, and identity management - has announced that its eSignLive has been recognised by Forrester Research as a market leader across e-signature providers. Forrester identified its strengths as it being customisable, boasting strong integration into core processes, its white label opportunity and its flexibility for being delivered through public or private cloud as well as on premise. It also highlighted eSignLive’s opportunities include the availability of global data centres, and native support for qualified certificates, both for government (FedRAMP) and European markets (eIDAS).

Forrester Research’s October 2016 report: Vendor Landscape: E-Signature, Q4 2016, states, “Regulated industries and demanding business-to-consumer (B2C) environments are eSignLive’s sweet spots. Its strongest verticals are financial services and government – it’s the only provider with FedRAMP certification.” eSignLive was named alongside DocuSign and Adobe as the clear market leaders in the report, which covers a number of e-signature providers. Forrester listed some of eSignLive’s strengths, including:

Fully customisable solution

Strong for integration into core processes White-labeling Flexible delivery either through public or private cloud, as well as on-premises

The report also identified some of eSignLive’s opportunities, including: The availability of global data centres and ability to spin up new eSignLive instances globally within two weeks Native support for qualified certificates, for government (FedRAMP) and European markets (eIDAS)

Digital transformation is a focus for both business and government as the number of transactions taking place online and on mobile devices increases. E-signatures are the last component required to ensure an end-to-end digital process, and part of a much larger digital trust chain with authentication and security needed to safeguard the process and the data, documents and signatures underlying the transaction. Commenting on the report’s findings, eSignLive President, Tommy Petrogiannis said: “We think the Forrester report highlights the diverse e-signature choices available to buyers, and calls out eSignLive’s deep vertical domain expertise, customisation and deployment flexibility which are required by regulated industries.” The report included recommendations for Enterprise Architecture (EA) professionals when considering adopting e-signatures:

Prepare an e-signature platform strategy: EAs must begin reviewing or forming e-signature platform strategies to support the inevitable business requests and avoid overlapping, inconsistent, and redundant solutions. Understand integration requirements early: Platform selection should rest on a vendor’s ability to address requirements such as support for multiple signature methods, existing login and authentication mechanisms, external databases for new customer identity-proofing, and compliance with applicable regulations. But give high weight also to company and financial stability.
