About the Company
Founded in 2002, Signix is an industry leader in providing independent, cloud-based e-signature solutions that make signing documents online secure and legal for any business or organization. Our patented technology offers easy-to-use workflows to high- volume, high-value, highly regulated clients across the industry spectrum – including financial services, health care, life sciences, government and others. We’re set apart by our Independent e-Signature™ solution, in which the e-signature’s evidence is embedded in the signed document, not linked to an external server, as is the case with many dependent e-signature vendors. This means that the legal evidence behind our Independent e-Signature™ is accessible offline and forever remains with the document, so users have unparalleled control over their e-signatures and the documents in which these signatures reside. Independent e-Signatures™ also adhere to international, published standards, not private propriety standards – further supporting the perpetual validity of Independent e-Signatures™, as standards in the public domain will always be discoverable, even if they fall into disuse. We also give users complete transparency of the signing process with immediate and complete access to the legal evidence supporting e-signatures’ validity from the first signature on. Because Independent e-Signatures™ provide a high degree of control, longevity and transparency, safety from legal challenges is a hallmark of our e-signature solution. With Signix, clients save money, increase efficiency and work in the digital space with peace of mind.
