Governmental organizations are always trying to reduce costs and increase efficiencies. Security concerns are also forcing all levels of government to rethink, not only their Disaster Recover and Business Continuity strategies, but also their day to day document management processes.
These organizations are especially challenged, as the vast majority of their documentation is paper-based and digital signatures are not acceptable for signing legislative documents.
To complicate matters, demands on the time of government officials are higher than ever. Increasing responsibilities, tightening budgets, and the necessity of fundraising and campaigning means less time for administrative tasks.
LongPen Signature Solutions provides a legally approved method of applying RealWET pen-on-paper signatures from afar, regardless of the distance between the signer and the document.
Signatures executed by LongPen are already in use by multiple government bodies for the signing of Legislative and government documents. With LongPen, all traditional paper-based filing and storage methods are retained, making integration a simple issue.
Whether for signing writs, approving purchases, or increasing accessibility for staff, LongPen products can improve efficiencies, cut costs, and extend services.
LongPen is for administrative staff in government institutions who are dissatisfied with the current waste of time, money, and energy associated with obtaining hand-written legal signatures.
Our product is the world's first video conferencing enabled remote signing technology, which provides the ease of digital signatures with the security of RealWET signatures. But unlike products from Verisign or Adobe, it is not limited to a digital solution, as it supplies legal signatures to paper-based documents.
We have combined or created the software and hardware and security technology necessary to provide long distance legal signatures, while fulfilling all compliance issues.
A cabinet office wished to increase efficiency by reducing the time it took for legislation to be signed without sacrificing procedural requirements or governmental tradition.
Previously, the client had to rely on Cabinet Aides traveling to various locations to obtain the signatures required to pass legislation into law. This process was stressful for those involved and led to procedural delays.
Additionally, for matters of legislation, it is preferred that all involved parties meet to discuss issues in real time. Due to conflicting schedules, this was not always possible.
The Client deployed a LongPen signing system coupled with video conferencing technology. Representatives were then able to meet via video conferencing from their constituency offices on an immediate ad hoc basis. Once legislation was drafted, it was signed via LongPen and passed into law without any travel required by Aides, within a time frame not previously thought possible, and in a more robust security environment.
