hardware and software computing solutions and services,
to introduce the SignOnline eSign Transaction Management

eSign Transaction Management (eTM) allows
organizations to manage business processes and transactions
entirely online, without the need for time-consuming

and manage the lifecycle of legally-binding electronic
records, all within the legal standards set by ESIGN,
UETA, Revised Article 9 of the UCC, SPeRS and GPEA.

portfolio as a part of their growing range of products,
services and applications. Recognizing that trust and
security are fundamental to successful online business,

products and solutions to ensure that enterprises can
take full advantage of privacy, security, trust and
confidence.
Comodo offers industry-leading X509
services to enterprises worldwide and is the fastest
growing certificate services company in the world. Fully
integrated with the eTM Suite, Comodo’s ePKI Manager
allows for complete lifecycle management of an enterprise’s
digital certificates, issuing and managing X509 v3 certificates
in real time to internal employees, client, partners
and suppliers. This partnership allows internal paper
flows such as expense reports to be digitally managed,
external contracts and purchase orders to be facilitated
by the speed of the Internet, and all legally binding
with the use of a digital signature.
"Partnering our outsourced PKI
services and more specifically our ePKI certificate
platform with WAVE builds a complete signing solution
for enterprises worldwide. The depth of this application
in meeting the legal requirements of online commerce
is fantastic. Coupled with our outsourced certificate
platform, enterprises can today transform their business
process and start realizing huge cost savings,"

solutions. "Our joint offer is a complete solution
for customers and represents a large potential market
for both companies. Wave’s eTM Suite is the emerging
leader in e-vault, e-sign, PKI-based identity and integration
