CoSign Digital Signatures and Edicom Advancing Data Exchange

San Francisco , California June 26, 2008

ARX (Algorithmic Research), a leading provider of digital signature (standard electronic signature) solutions, and ITelion Consulting 21, ARX's representative in Spain, have implemented a CoSign® digital signature solution at Edicom, an international leader in electronic data interchange services.

As the developer of a web-based platform that enables organizations to exchange electronic invoices and other documents in compliance with European Union (EU) standards, Edicom was in search of a digital signature solution that would meet its centralized business approach and help their customers maintain compliance with EU requirements mandating the use of a Secured Signature Creation Device (SSCD) system. In addition, Edicom required a digital signature that assisted in its strategy of becoming one of the leading qualified Certification Authorities (CA) in Europe. Based on CoSign's centralized management and key storage, and its extensive track record of successful implementations, Edicom decided that CoSign provided the exact capabilities they needed for digital signatures in their B2B processes.

"CoSign's intuitive use and its flexibility to meet our specific requirements provided us with the exact answer we required for our business need," said Jose Vilata Tamarit, Founder/CTO, Edicom. "Its uncomplicated deployment and straightforward integration into our legacy systems made our decision to use CoSign very simple."

Since their deployment of CoSign, Edicom provides more secure and sophisticated value added services and complies with the strictest legal regulations in all of its markets, advantages directly related to the capacity that CoSign has provided.

"Edicom's implementation of the CoSign digital signature solution emphasizes CoSign's ability to unobtrusively integrate and enhance a company's pre-existing product," said Raanan Dahari, EMEA Sales Director, ARX.
