At this year’s eID Forum in Tallinn, Ascertia will be presenting and discussing how all organisations can benefit from the use of document workflow and digital signature technology.

The focus will be on eIDAS compliance and in particular the way in which the new remote signing standards can be employed to optimize the user experience.

On 20th February 2018, Ascertia launched the ADSS Server 5.6 release. This release delivers further interoperability with services from Entrust Datacard and GlobalSign. 

A recent Forrester report outlined several interesting trends. First, the adoption of eSignatures within businesses continues to grow steadily throughout the world. In Europe, enterprises are engaging with eSignature providers for a broader set of digital services than their US counterparts.
